Sleepy chicken, totally stumped

If she were mine, I think I would bring her into an air conditioned room for a day (in her old brooder), give her cold fruit to nibble, and see if it makes a difference in her behavior. I am farther North than you are, but two weeks ago we had a heat wave here, then rain for a week or more, and now record highs. It's been really hard to adjust. I hope she is okay.

Thanks. Our weather has been pretty stable (got hot for a few days, but seems to be pretty even right now. I might do that if the weather jumps like crazy. Right now we are in the 70-80's.

welll..... an update to my update.... We just found evidence of tapeworm in her poop, which I had not seen before, so my guess is that this is the real culprit. She is due for her second dose of Valbazen on Wed, but I will be switching her to Equimax as of tomorrow morning.

I was about to mention worms for the lethargy as we've been down that road too, then saw your last post about tapeworm. Hope she recovers well!
