Hi there! Long-time reader, first time poster. I'm a bit concerned, as my chicken is acting strange and I can't seem to find any other similar instances of her behavior anywhere.
She was a little lethargic, so I took her to the vet about three weeks ago. She had a lot of bacteria in her throat, so the vet gave me antibiotics. Other than that, everything checked out fine. She completed her antibiotics and appeared to be back to normal, but now she's acting strange again. It's been about a week or so of weird behavior.
She's 16 months old. Her comb recently became extremely droopy to the point of covering one of her eyes, though the coloring looks normal. She isn't dusting with my other chicken like she used to, and I noticed last night she is sleeping on the floor of the coop instead of on the roost like she normally does. She also hasn't laid an egg since I took her to the vet weeks ago.
She still runs around the yard and doesn't appear to be in any pain. She's interested in treats and doesn't appear to have lost her appetite.
Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Any insight is appreciated!
