This girl(?) Is about 2 1/2 months old.. I noticed this morning that she had pooped what seemed to be pure water, but I never saw her poop again, so I didn't think anything of it.. She was acting normal otherwise, from what I could tell..
I checked on everyone tonight, and she was off by herself, couldn't keep her head up and would stumble if she tried to walk.. I picked her up, and I could tell she is underweight.. Given the symptoms she has, my first instinct said wry neck/vitamin deficiency..
I gave her water packed with ACV, honey and rooster booster, and I used that water to make her a mash.. She is eating and drinking.. Under one wing is dirty and her feathers are matted, but there are no lice/mites at all.. It looks like another pooped on her and it ran down under her wing, because it starts on a spot on her back.. No injuries that I can see... No bleeding... I have 38 chickens, ages 10 weeks down to 2 weeks and everyone else is fine.. I have separated her..
