Does this work? ;

She's in a dog crate right now, and we're doing our best to make sure she stays away from flies. She also gets let out on her own for a couple hours every day. I'm too afraid the other chickens will pick at her so I don't let them out together. The wound appears pretty clean but doesn't smell...

Update- she's doing pretty well and is eating and drinking and walking around fine. I'm spraying her 3 times A day with the Vetericyn but am unsure what else to do yet. I'll be heading to a supply store in a minute to get Neosporin and whatever other antibiotics I find are recommended. Any...

My 4 or so year old chicken got attacked by my neighbor's dog about 1 and 1/2 hours ago. She can walk around now with no problem and is currently eating and drinking just fine. I've separated her from the others and she will be staying in my garage until she (hopefully) fully recovers. I've...

Thank you!❤

Thank you!

Update: so I'm not sure how to change the thread title, but wanted to let y'all know I think she's gone😥 Its hard to tell, but I don't think she's breathing anymore. I'm almost positive she had Mereks and got wry neck from the effects. Thank you so much @Eggcessive and @Chookchicken for replying...

I'm not really a part of this thread, but I noticed the title and wanted to offer my comfort. I'm so sorry to hear about Lacey, she looks absolutely beautiful from the picture. ❤️ :hugs

After some more research I'm thinking she might have Mareks... Is there anything I can do to help her? I know that Mareks is incurable. What do you guys think? I believe one of chickens a while back had Mareks, and she had most of the same symptoms and that would explain how she got it.

Thank you so much! I don't believe she's laid eggs recently. Her tail has been down recently. I can get some pictures of her poop soon. I don't believe she is egg bound. She has been eating and drinking well until today. Today I went out and she was laying down, I thought she was dead until I...

First off, I'm so sorry to hear about your bird, I'll give what small advice I have as I'm not an expert with chicken problems. I've had similar issues with my birds in the past and we were always able to heal them when we acted quickly enough. For us a stuck egg or egg bound chicken was never...

Walk. Would you rather have a/another brother or sister?

Alright so I have a 4 (?) year old hen Sesame, and recently she's seemed to have lost her balance, coordination, and mobility. Today I noticed her out in the sun on the ground and concerned I went to check on her and she was struggling to get up. She also trips over things and is a lot slower...
