Good morning all...
I woke up this morning and one of my little Orpingtons had passed away. She seemed a little slow yesterday but I was not too alarmed. This morning one of my Easter Egger's is exhibiting similar behavior. They are almost 4 weeks old. We live in Arizona, have had a heat lamp on and yesterday they were all away from the heat lamp. We do keep the house about 78 during the day. The Easter Egger is chirping loudly and seems strong as she is kicking her legs when I pick her up....I do not feel anything unusual with her crop. Could she have gotten overheated? I am not sure what to do but I am trying not to panic. There are 14 in all and the rest are very active, plenty of food and water and a large area so no one is cramped. Help!
