About 1pm. They have access to chick feed, but they free range the whole day, so they eat a good bit of grass.

Never mind. She is fine looking today. I guess I have a tendency to look too carefully... LOL.

@Kiki You had talked about earlier on this page about problems with the crop. I noticed today that another one of my Sussex had a gigantic crop. Only a little smaller than a hen's. The Sussex is only 9wks old, like the last one. Another Sussex has a larger-than-normal crop as well, but not as...

Thanks for all your advice. Today she was too weak to even chirp, and whenever she did it it was a momma call. We put her down today. Poor girl was so sick. <3

Thanks for replying @Kiki It is nice to have people that you can ask questions to... It's hard to try to diagnose something when you don't have expirience.

Yeah, I think I probably will have to put her down. What do you think caused it? The crop issue, or something else?

Yes, she got better the first time and fell back into sickness after adding her to the flock. She still seemed to be eating, though. This time she did make a recovery, but a couple hours later, even though we were still giving her medicine, she went back to being sick. No, I am not tubing food...

@Kiki @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive @U_Stormcrow @coach723 @Miss Lydia @CIVA @aart @Mrs. K @nuthatched @Ridgerunner @rosemarythyme Sorry I keep on tagging you all...

Bad news... I let the chick out with the others after about a total of 5 days. She was acting normal, eating, drinking (escaping), etc. She was still slower and not as quick in her mind, though. 2 days ago I let the birds out to graze and found her not able to walk in a straight line, hiding in...

I moved her into a bigger box. The Nutri Drench really seems to be kicking in. this morning she was acting normal and was not in a weird position, and she was in control of her head. I gave her some water with Nutri Drencher in it, and she drank it willingly. She is peeping much less. She...

Fed her some Nutri Drencher. I fed it to her straight, without putting it in water, because she wasn't drinking without having her beak dipped in the water. I'll let you know what happens with her tomorrow.

She smells bad too, like poo. Maybe it's wry neck? https://www.freedomrangerhatchery.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-wry-neck-in-chickens/ It seems like whenever I put her in the box she falls over or gets twisted around. I would put a video on, but it is only ever briefly that it...

Her poo is very smelly, almost like dog poo. It is also shiney/has an oily look to it. The other one came out watery with a lot of white. (Photos attached.) She has pooped around 5 times since 10am. Attached are also pics of her perching on my leg. She likes to rest her beak on my leg to sleep...

I can not see any visible injury. I think that it is probably not her foot. It still seems like she is not 100% herself. She is very chirpy, not the "momma I'm in danger" call, but like twittering. I had her sleep in the box with bedding inside our house tonight, and this morning I woke up and...

Thank you. I also recently raised the water, quite possibly too high. Maybe she was having problems reaching it. She definetly perked up since we've been feeding her and giving her water.

No. I believe they are also vaccinated. The only treat we ever feed them is corn, and we haven't been doing that lately. We recently switched feed though to a local company, and it is a mash not a pellet. Our older girls have no symtoms of any problems except Bumble foot. My first thought was...

She is now able to stand and walk steps, but we are making her lay and rest. She shaky when she walks, especially on the one leg.

Medicated chick feed. They are vaccinated for Mareks. I bought them from The Mill. It is a regional company in Pa and Md.

I split our current coop in half with fencing. We just moved them from their first brooder to the split coop. Our older girls share the other side. We have 19 others, about 1.5 yrs old.

Also the chick is still doing the thing where her head moves slowly back, then she moves it forwards.
