I have 3 Welsummer pullets that are about 7 weeks old. This morning one of them seemed very off. She hesitated for quite a while to fly down to the run area for breakfast (almost seemed off balance) & then just stood around once she was down there. I removed her from the coop and have her in a comfortable box in my laundry room with electrolyte water & food. She is not eating or drinking. Fights to open her beak for any fluids. She is just standing with her feathers very puffed out in a meditative state. This morning she had watery bowels but other than what seems like urine, she has not gone anymore today. This afternoon I noticed a long piece of poopy grass coming out of her vent so I gloved up and inspected her better. It now looks like a never ending turd trying to come out of her. It really seems like its twisted up grass in her poop that she can't get out. I have no idea what to do for this girl. Has anyone else experienced this? Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated.
