I have a hen that has been sick for 2 days now, today she is going downhill fast. Puffed up, staying inside the coop, not eating or drinking, and now just lays around, doesn’t seem egg bound we tried the water and Vaseline but i don’t feel one. We cannot get her to eat or drink and she just hangs her head. 7 month old BCM. None of the other 20 chickens we have are acting weird. We checked for mites and see none. Any help is appreciated!
 
  1. Is her poop normal? If not, can you provide a photo or describe what it looks like?
  2. Any known weight loss?
  3. Have you recently brought in any new birds to the flock? If so, when? Did you quarantine the new birds?
  4. Are her comb, face or waddles look pale?
  5. Any respiratory issues? Such as sneezing, coughing, swelling of the eyes or sinuses, gurgling, open-mouth breathing, difficulty breathing, noisy breathing or nasal discharge.
  6. How old is she?
  7. Does she currently lay? If so, when’s the last time she has laid an egg?
  8. How’s her crop? Is it hardened? Or squishy? Or empty?
  9. Any injuries to her body by chance? Legs ok?
