Please help!
My 9week old Buff Orpington is moping around with her neck stretched out and down, and she looks sleepy. She's eating and drinking, but she seems lethargic. My other three chicks (Sussex, Australorp, Wyandotte) are the same age, but they seem fine.
I don't know what information can be helpful in figuring this out, but temps are mild here, I use sand for bedding, they're eating starter/grower crumbles, have access to water and food 24hrs/day. The sick Buff seems lower in the pecking order, but she's so easygoing that the others don't bother her. She's usually friendly and curious, but today she's not coming up to me like normal.
I am in the process of looking through old threads about this, but I am brand new to the site and brand new to owning chickens, so I wanted to post ASAP while I continue to search for info.
Any advice would be appreciated.
