Chirping
This started about a week or so ago. My hen was having trouble eating. It was like she couldn’t see the dish. She would peck, but miss it. She did seem to recognize red, her water is in old Folgers coffee buckets, they are red. She wouldn’t drink from the kiddie pool anymore. She was starting to get picked on so I moved her to an enclosure that was safer and quieter, with my Silkies. She seemed to do better at first. I put her food in a red feeder. Then she stopped eating. Next thing I know, she is apparently so weak that she won’t stand. I brought her in the house, force fed and watered her. She started eating a couple of days later (she really didn’t like being forced). So she is eating regularly, pooping too, but she won’t stand up and her feathers fall out real easy. I don’t know what else to do for her. Any ideas? No chicken vets here. She was wormed this spring.
