She always kept her feathers in top shape. She was even preening last night. Anytime I'd pick her up, she'd immediately start cleaning herself and was so indignant I touched her

Well thank you everyone for your advice. However I went out this morning and she had passed during the night

https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/merck-animal-health-safe-guard-dewormer-for-goats-125ml-2226898 is this the dewormer? As far as the amount of ivermectin it was about a pea sized amount. That's what I read was the "appropriate amount "

Interesting! Can the safe guard be given with ivermectin? I'd hate to overload her kidneys by basically ODing her

No, no mites. I checked again yesterday. I put her in the infirmary coop last night with fresh straw/feed/electrolyte water (and her own little heater since we're now down to low 20s) I've always read ivermectin is good for most worm treatment, is it not?

Ok went out and got pics right after work. I also fed her scrambled egg which she pecked at and feed moistened with electrolyte water, which she devoured. She also pecked at the remaining grass still around

I was only able to get her some dewormer tonight as my local store hasn't had anything available. I will post pics tomorrow when it will be more light

Hello all, I have a 5 yo golden laced Wyandotte in her most recent molt she lost a fair bit of weight, however it's now been over for about 2 months and it hasn't come back, only gotten worse. I've seen her eating and drinking like normal, her crop will be full at night. Tonight I went out and...

After losing two of my girls this week, I'd like to post my first ever successfully hatched eggs! 3 babies, with a couple more that might be on the way

Just wanted to post one last update. This morning I made the extremely difficult decision to put her down. That was my first ive had to do. She could no long stand, move her head, or wings. I also found a new spot that looked like it was covered in maggots right above her vent, that was not...

Haven't noticed any nasal discharge but I'll be on the look out tomorrow

Not that I could see.

Another update, went to pick her up to put her to bed and fluid came running out of her beak. She ended up having tons come out, all smelling bad, with a hazy color to it. Her crop did not feel enlarged at all, but maybe she's developed sour crop some how? Only a small piece of grass blade came...
