My warren is not herself,

She hardly moves round the run just hunches up, I've heard her cough and sneeze and not been eating or drinking that much. Plus she has runny poos! :-(

I've checked for mites on her and lumps on her body.

Any ideas or what should I do??!

Do I isolate her?

:-( thanks all xxx

The poos could be normal.  If you check this thread you can decide what your hens are like.  http://chat.allotment-garden.org/index.php?topic=17568.0

Has she been wormed recently and if so did you use something like Flubenvet?  How long has she not been moving or eating?  Could she have eaten a plant or poison that is in the garden or is she not free range?  The worrying part is the coughs and sneezes.  Are her eyes bubbly, and if you go near her mouth is there a bad smell?

I would definitely isolate her and I'd get her to a vet as soon as possible so she doesn't spread it to any other hens you have.

Update on my hettie...

Neighbour who has chicks thought it might be croop do have been massaging her neck but it hasn't improved her any.

My wife then found some information about gape worm and the symptoms suggest it could be this. Has anyone else had to treat for gape worm? And if so is flub ok? And do I syringe some diluted down her neck because she's not drinking or eating.

Thanks all :-(
