One of my button hens is sick. She was purchased as an adult from a pet store around 4 months ago to replace a hen that we suspect died of coccidiosis. Before introducing her to the male we sanitized everything. She was fine for around a month before she started acting sick. I suspected cocci but didn't know for sure so we gave her medicated food and ACV. She started acting completely normal again up until the last few days. She suddenly is always sitting fluffed up like this
and I noticed her last few poops had green tinted urate and her food is undigested and she feels skinnier than the other quail. This all happened in the last 3 or 4 days. Her mate is perfectly healthy, so are the neighbors, and all the other quail. I have given her more medicated feed, ACV,and a heat lamp but she doesn't seem to be improving. There are no vets nearby dealing in poultry. Any ideas what is wrong or the treatment for it? She doesn't sneeze and doesn't drink much but she eats normally and seems to have issues with balance. Her last few eggs have also had little to no she'll with uneven green coloring and "burnt" looking ends. She doesn't seem to have many symptoms in common with the last hen other than the fluffing and lethargy
