I had some pullets like that once when I got a large from McMurray(big mistake by the way...another story). What had happened: they were eating the shavings in the brooder. The ones that did not choke would act lame and tired(it most likely hurt their insides and would not digest). Because they would not stand, their vents became pasted and I had to pick it off... usually a few feathers would come off- which made me feel horrible. I think the best thing you can do is seperate it.... and sadly if the issue will not resolve itself, cull it after a week. Hopefully your birdy will feel better and this is not the issue~ Best of luck*

I hatched her from an egg and she has been fine for the past 17 weeks so I dont think it is shavings but thanks so much for responding.

Try to find a treat she will like, cooked eggs seem to be a favorite. Also blueberries, strawberries, grapes, tomatos. Anything red to get her attention. I would also give her some vitamins, the childs poly-vi-sol with no iron is good. She has to drink. Dribble some water on her beak and see if she will take it that way. Maybe buy her some mealy worms. Is her crop hard, soft, empty?

My first thought would be cocci. The age seems about right. Has she been out in the dirt yet?

I hope she perks up. I am sure that others with more experience will help.

I gave her the vitamins,some cooked eggs...she ate a bit and looked a bit more alert but when I woke up this morning she had passed.....

I am very sorry to hear that. At least she felt safe and had one good last meal thanks to you.
