    Help, before its too late!

    Just gave her 9ml of water with an old syringe i found. Should I try giving her some yogurt with the syringe or something?

    I have heard a lot about necropsy on this website. I have always kind of thought they weren't worth it, but now I think I will try. (Definitely not by myself - I'm not exactly the dissecting chickens type.) I do keep a log on excel for my chickens - name, breed, dob, date of death, how they...

    That breastbone/sternum is very sticky-outy and obvious, however she has always been very thin and flighty.flight. Don't remember the last time she laid, but she typically lays 1-2 a month. Pretty sure it has been mareks. We have symptoms like: - paralyzed legs - on side for balance - closed...

    I will definitely get her fluids, and like I said, I put aquaboost in there too. I will try making a scrambled egg. That actually perfect because I dropped one when taking photos for the natural egg photo contest. :lol: She is alpha or beta hen. Very high in pecking order. For the bird that...

    The patch on her left wing is just a large area of broken and new feathers. I checked under both wings, on one of the wing feathers I saw a tiny yellowish thing. I picked at it, but it wouldn't come off. It might be dried in poo. I'm not sure. I can post a picture if needed.

    Just gave her Buff Clucks' wormstop in her food and Buff Clucks aquaboost (electrolytes and probiotics) in her water. She drank a little bit when I dipped her beak in. Still won't take to food unless shoved into her mouth, and even then she doesn't always take it. Should I mix the wormstop...

    Found a squashed poo when I lifted her up this morning 🌄 Will work on a clean box for her and I'm going to add water to a bowl of food so she can swallow it easier. Is there anything else that could get her vitamin b? It's not a big deal but I wasn't expecting a run to the store.

    She will swallow mealworms when we shove them into her mouth 😅 I put some mealworms up to her and she didnt seem interested. Her vent is clean and healthy, and she does have some dandruff but I'm pretty sure it's not lice. Does smell odd around face - honestly, she just smells like every sick...

    Thanks🥰 She sat like she was eggbound (butt down, tail tucked) but dont think being eggbound causes limp, curled legs... This is so puzzling!

    We got her from a poultry swap in May of 2023 when she was six weeks old. So somewhere around 2 and a half. Nothing seems to be wrong with her legs. And she didn't really give any resistance when I pushed on either leg. I haven't noticed her eating weird. She has eaten some stirofoam (i mean...
