I have a Hen that’s about 4 or 4.5 years old... she began acting strange, to herself, just standing there... not wanting to eat or drink much. Noticed about 5 days ago. I’ve lost one before from being egg bound, so soaked & massaged her in warm water... & felt all over to see if I felt any hard stuck egg... nothing. Watched her a day or so & still acting strange.... contacted my vet & they gave antibiotics & pain/anti inflammatory to her. Still, after this... not wanting to eat or drink much... not using the bathroom either. I fed her egg, gave water via syringe. & just monitored her... today I got home & she’s flopped over on one side.... kind of like she had a stroke because right side wouldn’t help her much in standing up. She wanted to just lay there & clothes her eyes.... I brought her in my bathroom & wrapped her in towels with a heater in there & gave her water & honey.... she’s still not moving much or opening eyes. She’s breathing & her breaths scare me because I could see her breathing through her beak. Her comb is still red & eyes look normal, nostrils look normal, feet, skin, feathers.. it’s so weird. She’s my favorite hen & Im so attached to her, I don’t want to lose her but at a loss.... no one seems to know what’s going on or what else to do. Her name is Pontelette (Cajun French slang for panties, lol) I love my girl
