I've got a 1 year, 3 month old Silver Laced Wyandotte hen that is suddenly not normal.

* White/Green poop stuck to feathers
* Keeps to herself
* lays on the floor
* wings tight when up - slumped while sitting/laying
* tail not exactly perky
* No swelling/puffy eyes .. No discharge
* comb has decent color
* pants - but not constant
* will "talk" & react when I go in coop.
* coop is ventilated & they have free reign of in or out.
* its been extremely humid the last 3 days here in Wisconsin, today its in the 60's.
* She was eating & drinking last night
* They have electrolytes/vitamins in water

Help!!!!
 
Hi :welcome

Glad you could join the flock, I'm just sorry it's not under better circumstances and that you have a sick hen :hugs
I see you have posted in the emergencies section I hope your able to get her back to full health soon.

Good luck and enjoy BYC :frow
 
Thank you!

I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't have chickens. I've lost 4 this summer. Same type of symptoms .... But never close to the same time. :(
 
I think Bantam Fanfor Life is right. In any case, if she passes on - have your vet do a necropsy and find out why she died.
