Just wanted to update in case anyone else is reading. I think my chicken did, indeed, have a mild case of heatstroke. I did give her some gatorade (not ideal I guess, but it seemed to do the trick.) She is fine now. I think this is just my very heat-sensitive girl. Thanks for all the...

Our feed is called 'finishing mix' - stuff you get before you give laying pellets.

Quote: I'm drawing a blank on the feed right now - whatever it is for their stage of development that we get from the feed store (when dh comes in I'll ask him), grit, just added some oyster shells. We let them free range at night after dinner for about an hour or so. I can't think of...

Quote: Hmmm....I will give her some pedialyte or gatorade tomorrow. How do I get it in her if she won't drink it?

We're in FL. Yes, it's hot, but not as hot as it has been. This chicken seems to be heat sensitive though - I posted here before about her runny poo and turns out (I think) that it was a result of the heat and/or drinking too much water. So. Perhaps this is another symptom of being...

Hmmm....maybe she's eggbound? Is olive oil a good thing to try? And how do I get it in her?

My Americauna is very lethargic today and keeps closing one eye. She seems a bit off balance and is not eating. I don't see any sign of injury on her eye though. She seems a bit spacey. These are our first chickens so I have no experience, but the first thing that came to mind is stroke...

The weather has been very hot. (We're in FL) - but not as hot as it had been. Actually, I have only seen the watery stool but today will look and see if it changes at all (I hope so!) Oh, and I forgot to mention that yesterday it sounded like she had gas when the watery stool came out...

One of my hens (4 months old) has watery diarrhea. No blood, no color at all. I can't get a sample to bring to the vet. I'm suspecting some kind of worms but I am a newbie. Anyone have any suggestions? Honestly, I don't even know if my vet would look at a chicken or its stool. She is...
