ireneplus6 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Martha out top. Ranking chicken is not well she is an x battery and about three yrs old, for the last couple days she hasn't eaten or drunk much, today she is just huddled in the coop nodding off all the time and she is allowing me to stroke her which previously she never has Any advice will be appreciated Irene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I'm afraid it could just be her age. If she is not looking 'busy' and perky, then she is probably feeling quite unwell. Further than that - it's hard to diagnose without any specific symptoms e.g. sneezes, runny poo etc - I think you would need to take her to a vet for a full diagnosis. Three years is a good age for an ex-batt, some live longer but she may just have reached the end of her time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ireneplus6 Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 yeah, i have brought her in the house one of the others went down very quickly aswell and died through the night, i am not holding out a lot of hope but she is warm and comfortable for now if she is still with us in the morning ill take her to the vets though i believe their not that experienced with chickens thanks anyway Irene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
