Okay well I know how broodys are supposed to be... But today I noticed my hen had nasal discharge. Very light and clear but... To make things worse she's had diarrhea for a while. At first I thought it (the diarrhea) was stress related because I had to move her and her box and eggs indoors. She's held it in to the point I have to force her off (because she won't get off at all, can't leave it outside its too cold and indoors she won't even get off once every other day to go to the bathroom!) so I figured maybe stress and holding it like that would explain it...
But now there's nasal discharge and today after rather explosive diarrhea she would go and only a little would come out but I saw a tiny amount of fresh blood. Now I'm really worried, on the verge of crying my eyes out because she's my little pet chicken. I got eggs from a friend because she went broody and now I'm do afraid I brought in a pathogen via those eggs and may lose my little chicken.
Please if anyone has any ideas please share them, tomorrow I'm getting some antibiotics for her. I'm hoping the bloods because she holds it too long but then there's the discharge... I know I shouldn't freak out but I can't help it.
