Hi everyone, please read this post and reply as soon as possible... I have a three year old chicken who has fallen sick over the last three days. She is lethargic, doesn't eat and has diarrhea. I have given her water in a syringe. I checked her bottom for egg binding by touch, I felt something hard but it could be a bone... what do I do?? I go on holidays for a month tomorrow!!

Hello everyone here is some more info about my sick chook: she can't walk properly and her diarrhea is green/ yellow and watery!! Yuck!! someone please give me ideas on how to remove an egg if theres one in there holding up the works
>>peck here<< for an excellent article on egg binding ... also, there's an outstanding presentation on the anatomy of the chicken -- visit http://www.gallusgallusdomesticus.com/anatomy/presentation/ for more.
You may have to find somebody to take over for ya, if you're still hopin' to keep your plans, but I hope she gets better (and, quickly ~'-)

You're welcome, and ... not really qualified to make any direct suggestion, but I've never seen warm baths do any harm.
I'm not sure the aim of the calcium? And, I believe silicea is itself a trace element derived from quartz (rather than a specific supplement of calcium), but that could just be the brand name -- check the ingredients, or active ingredients, and the nutritional data -- if it's unclear? I'd skip it.
