Hi, I have a D'Uccle hen who's probably about 5-6 years old. Her name is Tammy. I was putting my chickens away and I couldn't find her, she was underneath their hen house (which is a common place for her to be). So I pushed her out with a stick I use to herd them. She didn't run away from the stick or anything usual so I was already concerned. I literally had to push her out from underneath and once she was out she simply stood there. When I went to pick her up she didn't run away (which isn't normal for her either, she's pretty skittish). I took her inside the house where I put her in a dog kennel with food, water, sime hand wamers (because she was intermittently shivering) and a towel. She's been in the same state since Wednesday (17th) night when I found her (she could've been there all day). She's just been standing with her wings all the way relaxed at her sides (touching the ground) using them to balance. She was drinking water yesterday when I would bring her out and dip her beak but now she isn't even swallowing it. She's been pooping but they're really runny too. She hasn't been walking around, just standing with her eyes closed. Today she actually started flopping onto her side when I got home, I think she's having trouble staying up/ balancing. She's one of my favorite chickens please HELP!!!!!! I've had her since I was nine!!!! If there's ANYTHING I can do please respond ASAP!!!!
