I used to have 2 Serama hens, but recently 1 died of a pneumonia-like infection.
The hen left behind is a) grieving, b) lonely, c) just started laying and d) on antibiotics in case she has the virus-like thing her friend had.
She's seemed healthy up until now. actually, she's still healthy. But she's drinking a LOT of water. much more than usual.
Here are things that might have caused it/that you'll want to know:
I'm supposed to be getting her a companion very soon as she's lonely but can't if she ill. I'd love some help and guidance. She's acting normal, but I'd love to know what is causing this as soon as possible- thank you SO much.

Here are things that might have caused it/that you'll want to know:
- she's more than 7 months old
- she's got an egg inside her but hasn't laid it
- she eats layers mash but recently has had a lot of grass
- there's antibiotics in the water
- her crop is not swollen but her stomach is
