Yes the symptoms are very strange, but giving her something to loosen up her digestive tract won’t hurt her and it will help if it’s an impacted crop problem.
Like I mentioned before- scrambled eggs and honey to stimulate him. Yogurt is also very good along with wet chicken food and/or cooked oats. You are doing all you can, now it’s just a matter of patience and prayer.❤️
You can give vetrx in warm water, directly into their beak, or you can rub some on top of their beak, on top of their head and underneath their wings so when they preen they are inhaling it. It’s like vicks vapo run for birds.
Rice is not too good, they have a hard time breaking it down. I would give him scrambled eggs, oats, some honey if you have it (always perks my birds up) and occasionally some tomatoes and other veggies.
I’d give her some calcium and some castor or coconut oil to loosen up the crop contents and help with lubrication of reproductive system (you can add some oil around the vent area as well.) I had a similar issue and had to do the same. Ended up with a giant egg and a giant egg sized poo next to...
Agreed 100%. I don’t think there is a respiratory illness that kills in less than 24 hours.
OP I am so sorry that this happened to you. I would be devastated if all my babies died. I would check the yard for any toxic plants, antifreeze leaks, moldy food etc., as that definitely sounds like the...

What is the condition of the baby now? If you try to move his legs very gently and they feel stiff, he or she is likely passed on.
If the baby is still warm and soft, he or she is still alive.
You can try to use a Qtip and dab it in some water...
Continue to isolate him and try giving him some electrolytes in his water. If you have nutridrench add that to water and give it to him, maybe some raw egg yolk, or even just a bit of sugar in some water may perk him up. Just keep him isolated with that water and keep an eye on him- thoroughly...
Sweetheart, listen to me.
Even in the BEST of circumstances, baby chicks die. All the time. It is something that we chicken lovers have to suffer knowing when we start to raise or ‘brood’ baby chicks. The baby could have and was likely already too far gone when you found it. The mother likely...
My hen had a similar issue from a hawk attack. I cleaned the wound and wrapped the wing to her body for two or three weeks changing the bandages routinely. The bone healed and the skin grew over it, she’s a happy girl!
Fair enough. But you fought back and forth with multiple people on this thread who told you that you were being insensitive and providing inaccurate information.
I apologize for being overly harsh.
