    Is there hope baby chick

    I can't figure out how to do video. But it keeps flopping over to the side and pushes its leg out.

    Is there hope baby chick

    Yes the first thing I did was check butts. Lol. This one was just barely alive and has perked up a little but just can't seem to get on his feet. He gets on his knees and chest and tries to push up with his wings. I just don't know. Never experienced this before. It chirps lightly and will...

    Acting egg bound can't feel an egg

    Thanks, I didn't see any worms in mouth or stool. Stool was normal. But she's actually doing much better, acting fine and back out with the flock. I'm leaning toward wormy, if she still feeling ok this weekend I think I'm going to worm the flock. It's been 4 months but very raining, warm then...

    Acting egg bound can't feel an egg

    I have noticed that once in a while she will hold her mouth open. But she is indoor so I don't know if she might be warm or if that is a symptom. Her breathing is normal, no coughing or sneezing, no drainage, eyes and nostrils clear.

    Acting egg bound can't feel an egg

    Here is poop The only reason I don't think it is the yolks in abdomen is there is no swelling, no fluid pockets, all that at least at this point is normal and comparable to the rest of the flock. I'm now starting to wonder if she got ruffled up by the roo. Maybe sprained something. But then...

    Acting egg bound can't feel an egg

    For her safety she can not be with the other chickens and rooster as she will only take a few steps and lay down. Walking is part of the problem. She is tame and used to us handling her. I feel I am doing all I can for her safety. I don't feel the issue has anything to do with egg laying. No...

    Acting egg bound can't feel an egg

    Only in cows. This is my first flock. I got them as day olds last Feb. This one out of 18 is only one acting like not feeling good. The way she was walking with tail down is what made me start checking her out. I brought her straight in for Epson salt soak because symptom of penguin walk took me...

    Acting egg bound can't feel an egg

    Also my problem is she seems perfectly normal, eating and drinking well. Red wattles and comb, alert, breathing fine. Her symptoms are walking like a penguin, fluffed up, tail down. That's all. I've been searching discussions for 2 days and nothing matches her symptoms ...

    Acting egg bound can't feel an egg

    Well she's been up moving around more today and occasionally making happy noises. I gave her yogurt with feed mixed in, scrambled eggs with oregano. She's eating much better today. She still only takes a few steps then stops but is standing more. Still no swelling in abdomen. This morning she...

    Acting egg bound can't feel an egg

    Also I forgot to ask, I've read in several places to give them tums. But I haven't because I didn't think this was egg binding since I could not feel an egg. Should I still try tums? She's on layer with access to oyster shell..

    Acting egg bound can't feel an egg

    I hope so too. I've read through and saw that too, but she doesn't have any swelling in her belly or fluid. I just checked and lubbed her vent. Felt no egg, feces, etc. I don't know of any vets that take chickens around me. I'll call neighboring towns tomorrow and see if I can find one. Thanks...
