Shiney Chez Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 My Black Rock chicken Popcorn is seemingly under the weather. She is spending several times of the day looking all sorry for herself, feathers puffed, tail down, head under one wing. She seems to be eating and drinking without problem, just been wormed and comes "back to life" after a while. I have checked her crop and droppings. All seems fine. She is suffering from a poorly eye for a while. Vet prescribed eye drops which we administer, but she seems to keep the eye shut. She is five and a half years old now so is this normal behaviour for an "older" lady? Any advice would be gratefully received , Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egghead68 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 If this has been going on for more than a day or so I would bring her into the warm and get her to a chicken-specialist vet. She sounds quite unwell. Eye problems can be indicative of a more systemic problem such as mycoplasma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
