Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Wantchooks]

Over last three days one of mine has got more and more poorly.

Have isolated her but don't know what's wrong.

 

Extremely lethargic

 

Flops down and seems to rest her head

 

Very runny "korma" coloured poo all over her bum.

 

Drinking a little and not eating

 

Comb and wattles still red.

 

Whilst washing her vent two days ago saw a blood blister sort of bulge in one side of the vent just inside.

 

Now just laying down with her head down

 

Her crop is soft and feels empty - unlike my other three who have full ones at the mo quite firm.

 

Please can someone help?

I would take her to a vet.

No, but a vet might, if it is not too late.

Thanks - my usual vet doesn't do chickens - can anyone recommend one in the Rochester area?

 

And does anyone know what it might be?

Hi,was just reading your post( am new to omlet) is she any better?

[Donna C]

Sorry, just read times and realised times Can your vet recommend another vet?

[sandyhas3chucks]

have you had a look in the recommended vet section ?

or you could try the rvs website. "find a vet"

choose advanced and put in poultry and birds.

not the bit that says specialist, as that will give you mega experts some-place.

I do hope you are pleasantly surprised and you find there is a choice.

Good luck, hope you are lucky

According to Practical Poultry there is a chicken friendly vet in Snodland.
