    Chicken starving herself was previously ill

    Hello all, I posted a thread a month or so ago about my brown hen who was on her 2nd/3rd bout of illness. (The vet thought it was a bacterial infection ) She was treated with sulfatrim drops for 10 days and then wormed after the right time had passed. I have been giving her probiotics. She...

    Sick chicken, shaking head and withdrawn

    Hello! I am not sure if anyone can shed some light on the subject as the vet was none the wiser. My chicken Hilda is lethargic and withdrawn, and shaking head often. Stands in one place most of the day not moving much. Crop and wattle Is still very red, as is face- which is odd. Currently on 10...
