Fenx passed away this morning 💔 Thank all of you for your support and help.

Maybe alittle I don’t think she’s much warmer than her sisters leg though.

Oh no! I’m sorry that happened! I’m happy she made a full recovery!❤️ We don’t have a vet really by us that will treat a chicken, we did have one we used a few years back but he sadly past away and then another one we did find is quite expensive. Her abdomen doesn’t seem swollen at all though...

Her skin looks a lot better now pink again. She eating just does not want to eat her chicken food really the only the we can get her to eat is like our left overs from dinner hamburger meat rice broccoli. I tried the oatmeal paste texture with her lay mash pellets but she was not eating so we...

@SmiYa0126 Ok Thanks! I will keep trying and pray she gets better.

@SmiYa0126 what do white caps look like in her poo. I know someone mentioned to stop when she has “white caps”. I thought white in their poo was normal?

😔 I did think she kinda fit those symptoms but her wings still work, so I was hoping it isn’t that. I did take her out in the pin for a few hours today and she ate some grass and drank a bunch of water. Would it be ok just to give her antibiotics or will that hurt her in if it’s not an...

Thanks! Do you just crush it up and mix it in the food or water? How did your girl take it?

Also for the calcium it looks like some have vitamin d as well would this be helpful too or just get the straight up calcium citrate?

Thanks for all of this. Super helpful! I will go to the store a get some calcium pills and the iodine. I’ll have my mom check her vent area again tonight and see if it’s still hard. I have no clue what I should be feeling, when I pick her sister the only difference I feel is their weight really...

If the standard weight is 5lbs, I think read read that in some other threads then yes. We weighed my mom and then my mom held her and we took the difference to get her weight cause the scale wasn’t registering just her. So it came out to 3.8lbs, so 1.2lbs less than the 5lbs average if that’s...

Oh and I did try the egg she didn’t seem to like it I also tried scrambling it up too. She does like hamburger meat so I can try that or like a can of tuna?

How many mg of calcium citrate should I give her and how often? She is smaller than her sister for sure but she has always been smaller and her sister is a bit of a bully I noticed about a week before she got sick. Her sister pecked at her when she was eating like she couldn’t eat till she was...

Updated: I can’t tell if this is a worm or piece of grass in her poo (I’ll attached a photo). I also gave her another bath to clean her off and she seems to enjoy it rather than freak out like I’ve read chickens do, i’m wonder if this has to do with the pressure being off her legs cause she...

Thanks! I’m praying she will make it through this! I’ve already got some helpful advice from people on my post.

Hi! This community is so great happy I found you all!

Hi thanks for the welcome!

Lol thanks! Me too! I just gave her a bath to get the poo off her and it seemed to help with the redness on her skin and she seems to enjoy it i’m not sure if it’s cause it takes the pressure off her leg cause she floats alittle. Every where I read said get ready to get wet cause they freak out...

Thanks! I did use the search button in the beginning, like a stalker lol but everyone seemed so helpful and supportive I was like i’m going to make an account lol. I will check out the What’s New section though I didn’t notice that.
