BuryFCA1 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 One of our girlies looks very lethargic and is always away from the main group (the other 5 girlies recently). When I even throw corn down the other 5 girls go crazy for it but our girly Pamela is disinterested and almost doesn't notice that there is corn. Its not like her at all. She is normally a lively and likeable character. I have checked her out and her comb is good, he eyes are clear, none of the others are hen pecking her and I don't seem to know what the problem is. Please help if you can. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Is her crop full this evening? Is there a foul smell from her beak? Does her tummy feel swollen at all? Has she laid recently? Could she be due a softie? Sorry for all the questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Same as above. Sounds like something's ailing her. Could be one of many things. Also check for mites and lice, and have they been wormed recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'd give her a thorough ~once over~ and if nothing stands out! I would take her to a vet, especially if she has been like this for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolly Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I agree that if she's been poorly for a few days now, it's unlikely to resolve itself without assistance, I would take her to a vet as soon as you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuryFCA1 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Thanks for the advice everyone. I have given her a few days and she is as right as rain now. No idea what it was but I am going to keep a good eye on her and get them wormed as soon as Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolly Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Glad to hear your girl is better, nice to have good news! As you say, keep an eye on her and treat them all with Flubenvet for worms if you haven't done so for a while. Maybe it was a soft egg brewing, although this usually only takes a day or two to become apparent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
