oh noAll chickens continuing to grow. One of the Americaunas has seemed lethargic the last couple of days. I brought her into the house to day and checked her vent to see if there is any blockage, and there's not. I don't think she's been eating because her breast bone is prominent and her crop seems to be empty. Her beak is slightly open as if she's breathing through it. I set her up in a dog kennel we have with water and food. She's basically just standing, a little puffed up like they do when there's something wrong.
Not sure what else to do. I just felt I should isolate her so she doesn't feel like she has to pretend she's ok when she's not.
Can you send some pictures of them?All chickens continuing to grow. One of the Americaunas has seemed lethargic the last couple of days.

I do not recommend Dumor said:I Just opened a new bag of Dumor that I purchased from Tractor Supply and it had a horrible, foul chemical/urine smell to it. I knew as soon as I opened the bag that something wrong, so thankfully I did not feed it to my chicks. As I dug around the bag to find the source of the smell, I located a large area or black mold. Looked like a rodent was sealed in the bag and rotted there. Would never buy this brand again!
