** Really poorly chicken... Help much appreciated **

My 10 month old warren chicken is really poorly. She has a droopy wing that seems to have no feeling as she drags it around and stands on her feathers. She is extremely lethargic with puffed out feathers so I'm assuming she's cold all the time and sits in one place in the garden the entire day.

The skin around her eyes is very yellow and her eyes themselves look extremely dazed. She eats and drinks very small amounts only when encouraged but will not actively seek out food, she hasn't laid for 2weeks. We bought chicken vitamin solution but that has had little effect. We also noticed a couple of worms in some of the chicken poo... Could this be what is causing the sickness? We've bought worming solution and just waiting for it to be delivered.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as our little chicken is not well at all!

 

If you are seeing worms in the excrement, it usually means that the chicken has a very high worm burden.

You can start a course of flubenvet, it would be good; however I think that the chicken needs to go to a vet.  Yellowing around the eyes (jaundice) can be a sign of liver problems, which means that the hen is very poorly.

A hen will puff out their feathers if they are feeling under the weather too.

Please consider taking the chicken to the vet tomorrow.

I agree vets as soon as possible
