Yeah. Her poop is dark greenish with white caps/edges. Her legs have been warm and I've suspected she may have a temperature the way her whole body is heaving as she breaths. Her breathing is noiseless - no rattle or wheeze. I gave her a hot water bottle wrapped in warm towels yesterday (in case she was egg bound and wanted to snuggle in. However no hard masses underneath)but she kept well away fromt he heat. It was then that I noticed she she seemed hot. She is sunstable on her feet and just preferring to sit quietly. Unusually easy to handle and 'wanting' help. She is very alert (not sleepy) with clear eyes and nose. I can't feel or see anything physically wrong with her just the symptoms above. Could it be one of the many infections poultry are susceptable to and difficult to diagnose? I have dusted them all and cleaned out there house on a regualr basis to keep mites/lice under control. Thanks for your help and wisdom on this.
