Buff orpington born around last easter started acting lethargic and top heavy. I've had her inside for weeks now. She eats mealworms and water but no feed. My chicken guy had me feed her eggs and cheese for the fat and protien at first but now she will only eat the worms.
She is super underweight... and now as of today she can no longer stand on her own. After seeing this I assumed she isn't getting enough food so I fed her about 800 worms (50+ grams) and some yogurt. She is drinking water.
I'm taking her to my chicken guy tomorrow but im so worried about her. This is my first ever flock and she's one of my favs. Comb is a bit pale. But I've known she's been sick... she doesn't have mites. I've checked her over a few times in her own little bubble baths but im not sure what I'm looking for. She isn't egg bound as she isn't laying currently...
I see no mites...
What else can I do?
What other high fat high protien foods could I give her?
I thought she was gonna get better. BUT she's worse. She's been hanging tough for so long!
