Okay so I have 2 sick chickens. Seven total, the other 5 seem fine(3 serama hens, 2 polish, hen and cockerel) they are divided among two coops right next to each other. The pullet in one coop with the polishes(her and a cockerel polish can not be separated, I put them together one time since I only had one coop, and now they FREAK OUT when I try to separate them, plus the other seramas attack her if I put her in their coop) The sick ones seemed completely fine until after I came back from being gone for only a day and a half, and I noticed right away something wasn't right. The rooster I'm afraid wont make it, the serama pullet is not as sick and I noticed them sick at the same time so I wonder if she'll make it through or at least live longer. Anyways, here's the symptoms:
-Pale wattles and face, the rooster has an especially brownish pale red splotched comb and wattles
-Slightly weak for the pullet, but not much, just a subtle difference
-Very nauseous for the rooster, when I checked on him this morning he was standing outside of the coop and soaking wet, looked like he hadnt gone inside when it was raining yesterday. I went to pick him up and he tried to get away from me but as soon as he took his first step he fell over and was flapping and couldnt get back up. So he is obviously very off balance
-They both have their feathers puffed up around their neck all the time, especially the rooster
-The pullet still walks around with her polish cockerel buddy and is doing normal things, so I'm not as worried about her
-The rooster is sleeping most of the time, just standing out in the open with his head nestled in his back feathers
-They both still have an appetite
What do you guys think is wrong? Sorry I dont have pictures, although I took them on my phone and sent it to my e-mail, they havnt arrived yet. So ill post them soon. Anything I could do to help them? Any chicken vitamins or something? Medication? Also I got the seramas besides the pullet about 1 1/2 months ago, and they were completely healthy, the rooster would breed to the hens and crowed all the time, now he hasnt crowed in the past week except for a few times. The polish hen I got as a chick 11 months ago. The pullet serama and cockerel polish(he's a frizzle!!) I got in around April.
