The The box is quarantine, I'm feeding them medicated chick feed, the same I fed all the chicks I've had in the past years and this never happened before and their poop looks normal . The mom is the biological mom and shes still letting the sick ones huddle under her . I'm in north Alabama...

Update, another chick has rolled over and won't get up. Her legs are twitching

They are about 1 month old. I know 100% for a fact that its not wry neck. They are silkies, they are holding their neck scrunched in as if they are cold but it's a warm temperature and they have their mama bird. They keep one by one laying on their side refusing to open their eyes and then they...

Silkie chicks, 10 weeks old, runny diarrhea, acting extremely lethargic, losing balance and falling over, dry eye and reluctant to open eyes, wings drooping when they walk, staring at the ground and reluctant to look up. One chick has already died from this, when they dies they were vomiting...

I put coconut oil on her face and dropped some saline on her eye and she opened it right up. Shes looking around like normal, it doesnt seem to be irritated at all. I think it was just pretty dry. I went ahead and checked all over for mites and I didnt see any. I went ahead and gave her a dust...

Shes been really broody so shes not drinking quite as much as normal. Its 60°F where I'm at right now so I dont think it's the cold, thank you through. Her face does seem to be dry. I'm out at the moment but do you think I should try to use a moist rag to help when I get back home?

I have a broody hen whose hatch date is Feb 11th and shes been eating and drinking just fine she hasn't been sneezing or breathing funny. She just has one eye squinting and looks like she cant unsquint it. Her other eye if just fine

Update, I found a local chicken vet who was able to relocate her jaw and shes doing fine. Thank you to everyone who helped!

I have one with a severely broken jaw as well and cant find any advice anywhere

It's a blue silkie hen who has had crooked beak her whole life and has been just fine. Shes almost a year old. I woke up this morning and went out to go let the birds out and somehow her bottom beak looked like it was missing I took a closer look and her beak isnt gone, it looks like her jaw...

I've only just noticed this today so I havent seen any other symptoms. She was eating when I noticed it so that could very well be it, thank you! I've been keeping two flocks for 4 years and it still feels like I'm rather new at this too

Whst dosage would you recommend for treating silkies with the pour on invermectin?

What should one do in order to keep it in the blood stream long enough? I have ivermectin and I plan on giving each bird 1 ml of the pour on solution would this suffice?

I may have a hen with gapeworm and I was wandering if ivermectin would do the trick
