So sorry for your loss. :(

I did! Her legs almost seem splayed sometimes when she’s standing. She’s losing weight. Still haven’t heard from the vet. I started on corid because someone thought it could coccidiosis & been giving her some high protein food (scrambled eggs) and electrolytes.

I checked her legs and feet and both seemed okay. We're dropping off a fecal at the vet tomorrow. Thanks for the luck, we need it!

Man, it has been a YEAR for chickens. I've had a hawk attack, a neighbor's dog attack, coccidiosis and now this. My chicken (less than a year old) is walking around off-balance. She's eating and drinking fine, but her tail is down. I haven't watched her poop, but I saw in the coop that its more...

@chimi and @KentuckyJanet and anyone else who commented on my sick chicken's status! I thought I'd give an update since you all were so helpful. I ended up taking her to the vet on Thursday and she thought it was a bacterial infection or a parasite. She sent me home with sulfa/trim antibiotics...

So I took my chicken to the vet yesterday! The vet thinks its either a bacterial infection or perhaps a parasite. She gave her antibiotics and a de-wormer and sent her poop off to the lab. I'll get those results today! She's not herself yet, but I can keep you posted! Her symptoms were...

Yes, they are definitely similar to the one drinking a lot / not eating much, but she is definitely cooled down today and just shows no interest in normal chicken stuff. My vet has poultry experience, and I'd rather just not have her suffer or know for sure if its something I need to treat me...

Did you notice any worms in her poop? I couldn't see any from the picture. My girl's poop is similar, and I think it could potentially be cancer. My hen is 6!

Yes, that one and the other one as well. They've been more like the second one with the past few poops (more green, small stool with white/yellow liquid).

She's not doing any better today. :( I put her in with her flock this morning and she just retreated under her shade tree again and sat down. I called the vet and I'm going to take her in at 5PM (only time they had) because her poop still looks like the cancer one from The Chicken Chick poop...

Any update? I’m having a similar problem. 😕

They’re eating Nutrena grower feed right now, but I usually supplement with lots of spinach and mealworms on the daily.

She isn’t doing that anymore, thank goodness. She might have just been adjusting something? She’s a little more chatty and finally drank some on her own from her dish! That is improvement to me! I am keeping her inside tonight and have been giving her a little Greek yogurt and scrambled eggs if...

This is new, she wasn’t doing this earlier. after I gave her the first round of electrolytes, her tail perked up and she ate some food (leftover grower from my latest batch of chicks). You don’t think it’s the food, do you? They’ve been eating it now for two weeks after someone said I could put...
