My normally really energetic is acting very weird today. i unlocked them later than i normally do and they all ran out happy and eager to eat exedpt squirt (shown in the photo below). she stopped right in the door wy and fell to the floor on to her right side. she couldnt get back up, i emediatly grabbed her and brought her to my pagola and tried figuring out what was wrong. She is not moving at al and keeps closing her eyes like she is sleeping. i have tryed giving her food which she is eating at less than half the speed that she would normally eat. she is eating in small portions than goes back to her (sleeping). her eyes ae also very blood shot and she has her tails curled up. i checked to see if she was egg bound which i came to the prognosis of she is not but im no expert. i hope the information i have provded is enough. if anyone has any idea of what is wrong with her please comment i love her soo much and would be devistated if something serious has happened. PLEASE ANYONE WITH SOME IDEA PLEASE COMMENT BELOW. we just brought her inside as it is quite cold and windy outside. i really have no idea what is wrong.
now later inthe day....
We have had her inside most of the day now and she had sign of improvement she started walking around eating much more and more things that chickens do but now she has been standing in the same position with her eyes closed for the past 15 -20 minutes, she is alive i have checked but i have hear her weasing and i now think that she has gape worm. She doesnt seem overly bothered about it just very uncomfortable as she keeps crooking her neck up and to the side. Her breathing isnt delayed to much i think i caught it quite early i think. My mum has gone to the pet shop on her way home to see if they sell anything to cure it. I also think she has a infestation of mites and lice. she hasn't made any noise today. She is having adrink of water now but is still mute. Does that mean anything, she is normally very verbal.



y would this morning and they all run out extremley happy and eager to eat except my chicken squirt
