So I did treat for coccidiosis and it seems that that has worked, her poop has returned to normal looking however she stopped eating and I still have to syringe water her. I'm not sure what next to do. She has not been able to stand on her own now and her mouth is open almost like she's panting.
So I woke up to this (we brought her inside and put her in our tub- we had to give her a warm bath to loosen the nasty poo all over her) I fed her some yogurt yesterday and fed her some water. She's still not eating and drinking on her own. Any suggestions as to where to go from here?
I felt the crop and doesn't feel huge, in fact I can't quite feel it at all.
This is what she does all day and how she looks She doesn't even eat really
Is she egg bound? When I go to pick her up, she fights like hell (not like the sick ones before her)... That's why I'm not so sure she would be sick, but what is wrong with her? She laid down most of yesterday and hasn't jumped up to roost in 2 days... Any ideas?
There's been no swelling or scabs. This chicken above was named Frenchie, and she got wry neck about 6 days ago and we lost her 3 days ago. I tried the vitamins and a treatment plan I found online but it didn't work this time. Also I have another sleepy chicken but I just checked and no mites...
Oh and she didn't cut her foot, it was just swollen at the hock and she limped for quite a while. I know this is my fault... I really don't know anything about chickens and all that I have read still doesn't feel like I know how to raise chickens... The duramycin is what I was told to give them...
I said wormer because it says if they eat fast but have slow growth rate it could be worms, especially since I have been free ranging them. I have considered it is something in my yard. I think the morning dew is causing mold too. I will try to get some pics up soon
Thanks guys, we are new at chickens and have a bad rash with deaths. I just finished a mite problem, an injured leg (and she died too) and then just unexplained deaths, ones that didn't look sick. I tried the all natural way but I think I'm gonna start using antibiotics in my water. I already...
When I checked on her tonight to see why she was crouching a little sideways, I found this. I saw her lay like this yesterday but couldn't see anything, I thought it was a wing injury. When I got close to her she closed her eyes but she wouldn't open this one so I looked further and it's gooped...
It seems a little swollen because the front part of the eye (closest to the beak) is sort of bubbling and weeping at the same time. I just don't know if it's something that's irritating it or if it's a sign of sickness
One of my eggers eyes is like weeping- or snotty... The other looks normal and she is the only one affected. Could something be just irritating it or is this a sign of something else?
This chicken is around 2-3 months old. She was just limping at first so in hoping that it was because the wrap was too tight. I haven't noticed any respiratory infections, one of my other chickens has a bad case of the mites, although I can't find any on the other 22... How do they get gout or...
