I will say unconventional with my response and others might disagree but---I had a similar situation
With my Rhode Island Red a few months ago. We swore she wouldn't make it through night and then put her on the antibiotic given to her. After another day of barely holding on needing to be...
So I wanted to update about Lucy my sicken Rhode Island red----might not have been my brightest idea but after night two and the crushingrealization she wasn't going to make it we out her back in with e flock for the night. The guy at feed store told me we would have to treat whole flock and...
So NOT a problem, more just a question about where to start. We ahe utterly enjoyed spoiling our little ladies with love, free range and attention, and now were looking to introduce scraps but they dont seem to like any! I broke up a boiled egg and they turned their noses---my first thought was...
an antiobtic, I took her in and he said most likely resportiary infection she wasnt showing "signs of cocci" his reasoning was that cocci sythoms usually dont attack so fast, that you would have seen gradual decline not quick. I am new to this, I sadly am just having to rely on people to help me...
Thank you so much for all your help. Poor thing has me worried a ton. Just went to feedstore and the chicken expert there gave me treatment for my ladies. He said with how bad Lucy was that the chance of her survival was really low and that I shouldn't get my hopes up though
We are on our way now---Im going ot get some yogurt as well. Fingers crossed.
While we were just wakling to the door I heard a TON of noise coming from her box, when I went she is trying to walk/fly but is stumbling. Greatly disorineted and cant keep her weight on her feet. Her beck is open...
the rest of them look just fine. This one was the one who was showing the most growth (she was our first to roost), and had alot of personality, the sudden turn is what is what confuses me.
I was reading about Corid, its for Coccidios. Do you think thats what it is? The reason I was thinking anitbotic was possible respitory issue. But shes not seeming to be wheezing, but shallow breathing. Her making it through the night gave me a little bit of hope, but as of now, shes not eating...
She is not. I havent seen her eat at all in last day. I started spooning sugar water and electrolyte water to her last night after reading a few things. She cant even stay awake to drink. I have to hold it under tip of beak and when she wants will sip a it. I have no idea what to do or where to...
UPDSTE: she made t trough night but still won't move. Equilibrium seems to be off. Her foot is uncurled and she will stand but that's about it. Thoughts?? Could really use some help.
Yesterday, our nine day old Rhode Island Red was flapping around, roosting and eating. This evening I was changing my flocks bedding and noticed her acting funny. She was going to sleep while all the chickens were running around. When I lifted her back into their box, she didnt even move and...
