Girlfriends chickens mysterious sickness

[u/golden_kingyo]

So my girlfriends chickens have been suddenly acting sick now and been dying within the week of showing these symptoms. This is the second one in two months that’s showed these symptoms and nothing but spraying a bit of water had been helping and even afterwards they just get all dropping again. Symptoms: Lethargy, diarrhea, not eating or drinking, sleeping all the time Location: Texas (but they have plenty of water throughout the day and get spritzed) Breeds: ornamental chickens

Girlfriend has some pictures of the icky butt too, but doesn’t want it posted unless specifically asked for. Note: she’s tried to take them to the vet but they don’t have any exotic vets within 50+miles and her mom refuses to help medicate them or let her take them to get help/tested.

When a chicken show suffering and is visibly ill, it's in a really bad condition. They will go to extremes to appear healthy because predators always target weak individuals in a flock.
