I have had my silkie for 2 months now, but she is roughly 6.5 months old. She has never laid an egg and has seemed to be a healthy free ranger. I noticed on Friday evening when I got home that her vent was pulsating. She seemed to be eating, drinking and moving about normally. Saturday, she seemed to be eating and drinking alright, maybe less? But then she started to become more stationary and breathing hard. Its noticeable that she is taking deep breaths. Poops seemed okay then, solid with white tip, but definitely less than normal for her. Sunday, she didn't get out of the coop on her own with the other girls, not eating and drinking as much.
I first thought, egg bound? I gave warm baths, massaged her and kept her away from others. She ate and drank a bit. Gave her calcium and electrolytes.
Her poops are either just watery white (almost nothing) or it was white and bright green. Here is the biggest poop she did after she ate a bit more. I don't know what to make of it.
Any advice? I also read through a lot and still can't figure things out.
