Unable to leave well enough alone, I've continued researching the symptoms my sweet Louisa suffered from recently. She's back to normal, except for an endearing habit she's developed of wanting to be on me. Her symptoms (disinclination to move or eat, and a few watery, white, mucousy poos) were consistent with mycotoxicosis. None of the other chickens showed signs of poisoning, so I ruled out the food. My BF had given them a handful of weed clippings the day before, hmmm? We live in the woods, there are tons of mushrooms coming up. In fact, about a week ago we were noting the presence of a "magic mushroom" just outside the run. The only symptom for which I had not accounted was her predilection for keeping her eyes closed. Could it be because every time she opened them, her world turned psychadelic?
