Hi I've returned from holiday and found what I thought was all three girls broody. (My chicken sitter has said she had all three down every other day to play) I got the corn out and all but one came running. On further inspection my Black 2yr old Silkie bantam stumbled up and just sat by the entrance to the coop. She's sick and I mean really sick, her eyes are closed, she's keeps stumbling and struggles to stand. Her tail is tucked under her and she seems to be shaking her head every now and then. She wasnt eating or drinking and her rear was full of hard feces. I've bathed her in warm water to clean her and to help if she may be egg bound. I've checked to the best of my ability and I can't feel any eggs. I e checked her wing and coop for mites and lice there's none. I've got her in a hospital box with water, apple cider vinegar and layer pellets. After bathing her and removing the feces she opened her eyes a bit more and drank but didn't move much or eat at all. It's raining so I've put her back in the hospital box and she is currently standing which I haven't seen her do since I found her.
I will be taking her to the vets tomorrow but has anyone got any ideas??
