Hi Everyone,
I just came back from a house call at a friends house- she picked up 9 day old chicks on Thursday at the local agway. Everyone was doing fine until today- one of her golden laced wyandottes started to not be able to walk, stopped eating and drinking. I ran over there with some sav-a-chick and started to spoon feed it to her. She was able to poop twice while I was there in a two hour time period. (her vent is clear) She is not eating and is very weak on her feet. Any suggestions? We isolated her in her own box, checked the temp (95 degrees) and are keeping an eye on her. This literally just started to happen at about 2 pm today and it is 6 pm now. Please let me know what you think it could be and what we can do to help her. Right now she is lying down with her eyes closed and head up and her breathing is normal.
Thanks so much for any help/suggestions!
