Help! Poorly orpington

Recommended Posts

Can anyone think what is wrong with my girl. She lays every day but her crop is never full, but not squishy either. She hardly eats her grain although will happily eat worms etc.she I worked, powdered for mites and I regulary spray her bum with pigeon spray for feather mite. But she seems lathargic,puffed up. She is only 1 1/2. Please ,has anyone got any ideas :(

Well you have covered the obvious bases which is good

 

If she is laying that rules out a few problems too

 

It sounds like she is being pulled down by something, maybe a virus or something wrong internally

 

I'm sorry to say I'd suggest a visit to a vet

 

You could try separating her off in a nice warm place for a few days, a cage in a garage or ventilated shed would be ok if you cant bring her in to the house (mine go in a box in the corner of my kitchen or living room but not everyone is blesses with a hubby that doesnt mind!) feed her some pellets mashed up in warm water, this will be quite easy on her digestive system. A good tonic may help

 

If you dont want to separate her then keep her with the others but maybe add some tonic to their water, they will probably moult soon so it will be beneficial anyway
