Sick Leghorn. Help?

[sunny_bellyboo]

Nothing will kill them faster than the cold, but I understand that not everyone can bring them inside.

I can't currently bring her inside, but I will do so later.

Can anyone link a website to how to tube feed a chicken??

To do this you really need to get her warm first. Trust me, I have lots of experience doing this.

If you don't act fast she most likely will die.

I don't say this in an ugly way... Your bird just sounds very sick.

I can't do this currently then, because we are still setting up an area inside for her.

I am away from home currently and will act as quickly as I can when I get back. If she dies I'll still keep responding so I know what to do in the future. I also really need to know what happened so I can detect it in the future.

Does anyone recommend antibiotics?? We have done this before and she mostly got better.

Find a vet who treats farm animals or one who treats exotic pet birds. Call around.

I think the only one we have around is booked for the weekend.

I use Baytril, but only after they are warm and hydrated. Unfortunately, that is something you have to order or get from a vet. If a vet is an option, I think that would be best.
