    Perseverance has paid off! Both my girls are back on their feet! The older one was so far gone I didn't think she would make it, but I fed her 2 hourly by eye dropper and this morning, almost 5 days later, she was standing up in her box and even had a little bit to eat...happy, happy, happy...

    Please Help! Chickens lethargic, eyes closed, won't eat or drink!

    They called it CCC, whatever it is, it has done the trick for my youngest one, she is drinking and eating again, but I fear the worse for my older girl, she is still very poor and I don't know what else to do for her :(

    Please Help! Chickens lethargic, eyes closed, won't eat or drink!

    UPDATE...I managed to find a produce store open. The owner was extremely helpful. I have some new medicine, and I actually think they are both looking ever so slightly better. Hoping the morning will bring some improvement. Thanks again for the advice :)

I am going to try and get some corid (or the Australian equivalent) today. They are no worse but also no better. The...

    Please Help! Chickens lethargic, eyes closed, won't eat or drink!

    Tjank Warm, wet conditions and new birds brought in not long ago are all prime factors for coccidiosis.  Since it can be a fast killer I'd treat for that first and right away.

    Please Help! Chickens lethargic, eyes closed, won't eat or drink!

    Thanks everyone. Poops are very runny. We had a lot of rain recently, followed by horrendously humid days (in Australia). I empty their food everyday, but mould is a possibility with the weather. One of my ladies is around 4 years old, the other we got around 6 weeks ago. I thought the 2 new...

    For those who know a little about Australia, yes we have snakes here, thought I might share a visitor we had here one night when my ladies decided to stay out of their pen, luckily I rescued them in time!!

    Broody hen won't eat or drink

    Thank you everyone for your warm welcomes and wonderful advice. I unfortuantely have bad news though. What we thought were our dogs stealing eggs in the past has now turned out to be a very fat, large rat, which while my beautiful Whisky had finally left her nest to eat, swooped in and snatched...
