Its just as the others say, a respiratory infection. One of my pullets is going through the same right now and some of the people appointed to my thread have helped me out there so maybe take a look, it might help you out...

Hello all, I felt I should give you an update on my sick chicken. She is still alive and gained a roomie for a while in our bantams coop and they got along very well but it seems her sickness has came back so we've had to isolate her. She's already had her antibiotic and recently we've gotten...

So far she seems well, her comb is still normal but nothing out of the usual. I did have a scare though, she puked some kind of clear muscus from her beak but after reading into it I found out it mightve been from the way I held her which applied pressure to her crop and caused her to puke.

Also from the symptoms, to me it sounds like Marek's. I've had little experience with a chick I had, but I didn't know what it was at the time so it didn't end well :c This is just a guess though, I'd recommend making a post about this and seeing if others can pin what it is!

I don't mind you posting here, but I'd recommend you making your own post about this. If you do, you'll be able to tag it for more of the community to see and help you out!

Tried getting a good shot, but this was the best I could get. Its the little patch looking thing between where her comb and nostril meets. And Im afraid she had a relaspe, it seems that her comb is getting pale again. But Im willing to give her the care she needs!

Today, so today we let her out to roam along with most of the coop to do their daily pecking and scratching. She came across the Americuana and it tried to attack her so we separated the two. While putting her back, I noticed she has some sores on her beak? Like little patches that came off on...

Ah, I'll keep good watch for any hostility! Thanks for all the advice and tips you've given me so far! I'll be sure to tell you how it goes tomorrow

She can stand and walk around fine. I'm assuming the way she's acting is because she's depressed and lonely, wanting to get back in the coop with the others. We let her roam for a bit earlier and she was by their coop and they all gathered around there clucking together, so perhaps that might be...

About 4Ibs yes. Yesterday she had her last shot. She's been eating normally and drinking lots, seems better so far. But now she seems...depressed? She hides a lot and puts her head down. Im assuming maybe because she's been away from the other chickens? How long should I wait til I put her...

About 80 cc (which is the recommended dosage I believe) and I'll be sure to do that! Also we've been keeping watch of her crop, it seems normal for now Thanks for the advice! Ill be sure to update you guys on her condition!

Exactly what I thought! We make sure she's hydrated at all times and have been on the look out to see if any were infected, but so far the rest seem fine! One of them started laying eggs for a matter of fact. We're not sure exaclty what she has, but I really hope she'll be able to make it through :(

Here's an update: Yesterday we bought her the Tylan 50 and have been giving her shots in her breast along with cleaning her eyes with Saline until we're able to get the Terramycin. I've noticed she's been eating very little, drinking lots, and her comb is pale. Should I be worried?

Thank you so much!

There hasn't been any sneezing, coughing, or mucous! I examined her beak while we were flushing her eyes and she didn't have any thing on her beak. And they have some terramycin at the Feed store! I'll be sure to get some of that along with the Tylan 50. Don't worry, we have her in a separate...
