We put her to rest yesterday evening. She was declining, she couldn’t get much food in her anymore. Fortunately yesterday was really good weather, so when I got home from work I took her outside until sunset so she could scratch around for worms with my second chicken and dust bathe in the sun...

Hi all here’s an update: Her condition is about the same, still drinking and eating a little chopped veggies and fruit. I’ve been syringe feeding her some liquid crumbles with some unsweetened applesauce and probiotics when I get home from work. Today I had her in my lap and was giving her some...

No worries, seriously I appreciate all of the help you’ve been with trying to help my chickie girl get better. It’s a very lonely and overwhelming feeling trying to treat a chicken that’s unwell because there are so many different things it could be, everyone’s input here has been very helpful...

So I got a look in her mouth just a bit ago, the yellow plaque is still there. Looked a little discolored in a couple small spots, but seems still pretty much the same size. Could not see very well if there were any noticeable scabs from the blood so I don’t really know where the bleeding wound...

Also here’s her only poop from today from what I can see

Here she is, she still has some dried blood on her face, I did not see any new blood spots in her enclosed area. I’m thinking of rinsing her eyes with a little saline. She’s drinking a lot of water (still some bubbly saliva on her beak). I’m going to make a mixture of thyme, rosemary, cilantro...

Checked on her this morning, it appeared the bleeding had stopped overnight and most of the dried blood on her face was gone, where she had scratched it off. She was still resting while I was getting both chickens set up for the day. I left her some fresh plain water and a plate of wet mash and...

I won’t be able to check on her frequently tomorrow since I have to work and won’t be home till late afternoon.., should I leave anything out for her like some fresh plain water or wet food? I read somewhere on this website that Acidified Copper Sulfate could burn exposed/wounded tissue so I...

I’ve been sitting in the coop with her for a while now, she was resting and breathing quietly and then she lifted her head and shook it a couple times, and a huge blood clot came out, it’s about the size of a quarter… I don’t know if she’ll make it.. her face is covered in blood. I’m going to...

The plaque is partly in her throat so I don’t know how to apply pressure if possible… and it was fairly large, I got a look at it briefly before I started hand feeding her/the bleeding and it looked off-colored like green/dark brown in some areas. It definitely is starting to clot, she has some...

Photos!!

PLEASE I NEED HELP!!! I was giving her some wet mash and now blood is coming out of her mouth, nose and swollen eye I don’t know what to do!!! Could the yellow plaque have come off and now it’s bleeding??!! How do I stop/help the bleeding?!

Hi all thought I’d give an update: today she finished her third full day of ACS water, checked her mouth and the yellow plaque was still there, it was hard for me to get a good look at it though to see if it shrunk in size. She was a little more energetic this morning than before, did not eat...

Also I read on a few threads here that I will need to give probiotics after treatment with the ACS. Can I give her some during treatment or should it only be afterwards, and what kind of probiotics should I give? I have some yogurt and powdered probiotics in the pill capsules I could sprinkle on...

Would the Acidified Copper Sulfate help with the mucus? If it is possibly nasal drainage, if I were to try treating her for a few days with the Tylosin again to help with her breathing, would it be okay to use along with the ACS? Thank you again for all of your help through this!
