Hi to all.
I have 19 hens. They are our pets. We love them and care for them and they reward us by giving us delicious eggs to eat.
My problem: about a month ago, one of our chickens became lethargic, let us walk up to it and pick it up without moving away from us, started vomiting (after it would drink water, the water would come back out of its mouth), unstable on its feet, sat down away from the flock, lost a lot of weight.
A few days of trying to nurse it back to health didn't improve its condition and we had to cull it.
About a month later, noticed another hen (approx 3 months old) wobbling as it walked, sitting down a lot, not roosting on the roosting bar, healthy appetite, rear of the bird is hunched over, no dirrhea or vomiting.
Please help. Do these two birds seem to have the same thing? What do you suggest I do. This is my pet and I don't want to have to cull it, too.
My birds are free range and have a large area to roam.
