[Rhodeislandsilkie]

Hey guys today I noticed that my Rhode Island Red hen seems sick. Her comb is lighter and she just stands in place. She doesn’t care for treats and she seems fatter. Please help!

She’s not lethargic she’s just standing still.

Her crop is also really small. Please help.

I think it might be a kidney problem or something.

Is there anything coming out of her body? Like mucus or stuff like that?

When she walks, what does she look like? Does she walk funny?

 

[Rhodeislandsilkie]

No, nothing is coming out of her body. I put her back inside the run and she started drinking a lot of water. I think that’s good.

When she walks, she walks normally but only takes a few steps.

Yes, she should drink as much water as she needs make sure it is also very fresh and clean.

I would also remove her if she is really sick. Put her in a dog crate or something like that. Make sure at night she is warm but don’t put a heat lamp on her.

I hope she gets better soon!
