bet1wibb2 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) We recently got 2 new chickens to add to our 2 ex-battery hens. Soon afterwards one of our chickens has gone REALLY lethargic, i just noticed her in her nest box so i went to go see what she was doing (she then ran onto the ramp) and then she fell asleep and didn't move. I'm really worried as we lost a hen recently who was really lethargic and not eating much. Does anyone know what this is?? Thanks Edited May 5, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bet1wibb2 Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 I also just felt her crop but it feels empty, and just skin I'm a bit confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I would take her to the vet, she may have been ill for a while. Could just be a softie but she doesn't sound very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gongladosh Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 is her stomach swollen, and in recent weeks has she struggled to jump when she wants to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gongladosh Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 RIP Yoko! It's never nice to have a hen die, but at least she didn't suffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
