My sweet girl Dixie was sluggish and sat down when she ate she also had this really bad poopy butt.
She is getting better, she is still slow but not waddling by feeling her keel she seems to have lost weight compared to other chickens. She still has the bad diarrhea and I wash her behind with lukewarm water everyday when needed.
So her symptoms are: Slow, stool that isn't watery but it gets stuck to het feathers, and Weight loss.
She isn't lethargic as far as I can see, I have been giving her dampened chicken feed with sunflower seeds and sometimes dried meal worms (I'm running out) She also gets Nutridrench every day.
Does anyone know what this sickness is? I have done research and some looking on this site but I haven't seen anything that really fit her symptoms. Do I need to isolate her?
I just need to know what illness this may be and if euthanasia is the best option for her quality of life
