HELP! Baffled By My Hens Illness..
Hi all.
Got this hen 2 weeks ago, she was fine at first...
Her balance has deteriorated rapidly. She's not perching and yesterday she didn't have the strenght to get in the hen house at dusk. Today she didn't even have the strength to stand. She hasn't moved off this spot for two days. I am not stupid - she is not dead, she's just sitting there looking sad.
Please don't have a go for not calling a vet, we couldn't find one that treated chickens, without going halfway down the country.
We've felt her crop, it is empty and just feels like an empty (not water filled, so not sour crop) balloon. It is very large. Does anybody have any ideas?
