Single hen

[hotdog]

Hello everyone. I hope someone can help. One of my chickens has been unwell since the weekend. She started off looking fed up with a drooping tail and hunched up. She was still drinking but not moving about at this stage. I brought her inside on Monday. She is still sat, tail down and fluffed up. She has a very red 'undercarriage' and looks rather bald underneath. She has has an upset tummy - white and dark green poo but this seems to be getting better. She sleeps a lot of the time and isn't moving around at all. I'm syringing probiotic yoghurt and water down her regularly and she will drink when I put her beak in the water. She has been wormed recently.

 

Any ideas anyone ? This seems to be going on for too long.

Have you checked for lice and mites?

 

What wormer did you use. It might be worth doing again using a different one.

 

Have you listened to her chest by placing an ear along her back? Is it rattly or wheezy?

 

TBH as she has been ill for 5 or 6 days and has not shown signs of improvement despite your best efforts, I would take her to the vet.

This is going to sound like a very funny question but is she walking like John Wayne?
