Still sick hen

[downsm75]

She can't hardly stand, but when she does, it's one leg WAY behind the other. Her pupils are dilated, making her eyes look black. She's hungry and will eat, she just looks like she is drunk all the time. I keep feeding her water through a dropper and she will find her food and eat. She's getting vitamins in her water as well as Duramycin-10

are any of your other chickens like that? how old is this chicken?

 

[downsm75]

She's 14 weeks. None of the others are acting anything other than normal

It looks like the left side of her chest is swollen. Her crop is fine, breathing is good and her poo looks normal

ohh im not sure if this could be it but many chickens start to get deformities at this time... like eyes start to pop out of their head a bit or crook neck etc... what type of bird is she?

 

[loversday002]

*many chickens out of the ones who end up with deformities...

 

[downsm75]

She's a polish..

 

[loversday002]

could she have a tumor in her rib cage? sounds crazy... im not sure if you are one to bring your chicken to the vet but she may need it

 

[downsm75]

I'm not sure at all. I will have to look up poultry vets in my area. I'm not sure of there is one

im sorry about your chicken... i hope you can find one maybe...
