Our Sesame is definitely sick, I just can't tell her ailment. This is our first 'flock' (4) and we're total noobs.
Info on her:
Buff Orp
Purchased from Orschens
17-18 weeks
Not laying
Symptoms:
Pale wattles and comb
Unsteady of her feet at times
Lethargic (easy to catch, unlike the other girls)
I've picked her up and her keel bone is prominent
Doesn't like to jump up to roosts
Sitting a lot
She doesn't seem to be eating well. I've done a fine job in scaring myself by doing some online reading of the horrors others have gone through. I'm just hoping you folks might be able to point me in the right direction as the avian vet isn't available til next Monday and we don't have the requisite scratch for an office visit anyway.
Any suggestions, sages of the coop and run?
