Hello again. Our 7 month old Copper Maran Yin has recently begun exhibiting ill behavior.
She and her siblings are still laying their kinder eggs, if that helps. I cannot tell if she has stopped laying or not. She has a strange listlessness and while she can stand, will often stumble and fall if pushed or otherwise. Her balance is a bit messed up and she consistently throws her wings out to steady herself when she moves. She drank when provided water, and in the rare chance she stops dozing on the ground she sits up to pick grass, but will not feed on pellets. Her poop was pure white, but not milky or runny. Consistent white excrement. I cannot see any sign of a tumor or disturbances around her vent, and her comb/waddle/throat are unscathed. She feels a little bit underweight as well.
I'd say she's been sick for a few days, and doesn't seem to be in critical condition but there's definitely something wrong with her. Her sisters do not seem to be exhibiting any signs of illness or fatigue like she is. Any ideas? I have her indoors in a dog crate with fresh food and water.
Tl;dr
- 7month old bird, has been laying for about a month
- fatigued and malaise-y
- can stand up and walk, but will not do so unless prompted, and only takes a couple wobbly steps
- seems to be disoriented/dizzy whenever she's standing up
- not showing any external symptoms (unless I don't know what to look for)
- spends long sessions simply laying down and picking at grass. Could easily be mistaken for a healthy bird, but if one walked up she would not run and can be easily knocked over
Any clues?
