I'm at a loss for what is wrong with my girl.
Jerk is about 6-7 months old, started laying back in November and laid consistent beautiful green eggs just about every day.
Right before Christmas, she started laying in odd locations for a few days, then quit laying altogether. Didn't think much of it until last week when we could tell something was off.
I've had her isolated inside for the past week, here are her symptoms:
-Not laying
-bright green watery stool (no evidence of worms)
-upper neck/chest puffy, her stance is just off
-Not super interested in eating or drinking, although she's doing just enough of both to survive
-not lethargic
-crop is not blocked, in fact feels very flat, probably because she's not eating much
-when i take her outside she just stands there, doesn't forage or anything. just looks around.
-no issues with walking or flapping wings
-she DOES seem to have a hard time bending over to peck at the ground
-crop is pale
They are not free ranging except special times when we are out and let them out. All my other chickens are good.
I have dewormed her just in case and given her vitamins every day, also she is not eggbound. She does not seem to be getting better or worse. Pics attached. Just at a loss and i've googled everything, nothing seems to fit her symptoms. Anyone experience anything like this?
