Is there any danger in giving calcium pills if a bird is not egg bound?
I have a 26 week old legbar pullet who is clearly not feeling well. She's sitting hunched in the run, moves more slowly than usual, and is shaking (especially after handling). I haven't seen any unusual droppings but she does have some urates stuck to her butt feathers. She is still eating some, maybe less than usual but still has enough energy to assert her dominance over the other girls and get pick of the treats (peppers).
Only 3 of our 6 pullets are laying and I'm not 100% sure which ones. But this pullet was investigating the nest boxes the other day so I believe she is one of my current colored layers. We got the first egg (olive green) 10 days ago. We got the first light blue egg yesterday. So if she's laying she's either laid 4 eggs or one egg.
Symptoms started this morning. I just gave her 1/4 325mg aspirin this evening. I'm not sure what I can do for her not knowing what exactly is wrong with her.
