A bit similar to the favarolle topic that was posted earlier today, but without the "extra's". Two weeks ago we got a young chicken, approx 17 weeks.
Since last week she has extreme difficulty eating, despite really wanting it. She tries very hard, but for some reason she cannot get food in her beak. We have tried mushy chicken food, apple, sausage, egg - mostly without success. She tries to pick it up, but fails. We now have a bit of success with subflower seeds, chopped into pieces of 2mm.
Sometimes she also seems to not understand how to drink anymore: just dunks her beak in the water and then nothing.
We trimmed her beak a few days ago, but that did not help. Any ideas what this could be?
