I’ve noticed we don’t always have the products available here in Brisbane. I’ve attached a photos of what we’ve been doing. She’s taking food and water from us if we feed her but still looks weak.
Thanks for the suggestions. I’m doing them.
I’ve set out chook up into a sick bay so I can monitor her eating and drinking and follow your suggestions. I’ve noticed she seems to not be able to keep her body upright and is panting even though she’s in the shade and the temperature is very mild...
questions:
What type of bird, age and weight? 3 chooks : Fayoumis, Plymouth Rock, Isa Brown all about 4 years old. The Plymouth is unwell. They all are on their roosts during the day.
What is the behaviour, exactly? Sitting most the day and maybe she’s a bit more pale than usual but I could...
3 chooks : Fayoumis, Plymouth Rock, Isa Brown all about 3-4 years old.
The Fayoumis and Isa Brown have blood on their combs and suspiciously the Plymouth Rock does not.
I’ve only just noticed it over the last week. When I was treating their feet for mites.
See photo.
Nothing I’m aware of. We do...
Would this work for their feet? Having trouble finding the brand you recommend in Brisbane

3 chooks : Fayoumis, Plymouth Rock, Isa Brown all about 3-4 years old.

I’ve order this… I could get some human stuff from the chemist but haven’t got anything yet.
She’s eaten some of the porridge and had a tiny sip of water but hasn’t done much else all afternoon. Her poos don’t look so great either. We had to buy the antibiotics drops online so will need to wait until it arrived.
We cleaned out white mucus from the left eye and there was a section that was stuck but it got pinched off with fingers. I’ll go get the drops from the vet now.
It’s been a heat wave here. They have plenty of shade and water but we are all struggling.
We will check out the eye when we clean it. Just setting up a space for her. She is drinking water now we got her off the perch. She is the highest on the pecking order. She hasn’t lost any weight as far...
Plymouth Rock, 2-3 years she’s a bigger chook not sure of weight
Sitting on perch not moving
Maybe just overnight
No sign of trauma
Could it have anything to do with the water dragons, magpies and crows that also live in out yard?
They drink Water & combination or pellets, seeds, grains from...

2) What is the behavior, exactly.
She's moving around fine. I noticed yesterday that her bum was covered in poo. This morning my housemates...
Still no improvement
Day 3
Pop stuck to bum (we've washed it off in a warm bath)
Looking scruffy
Not eating or drink last 2 days
Crop is full
Comb is droopy
She smells different
Tonight we'll bring her inside so she's warm. Any suggestions would be great.
When she first went to the isolation cage she ate 2 days ago she ate water and yoghurt and some feed.
The first night I let her back in the coop and she did come out of the nest when food came but didn't eat. So I popped her back in isolation.
Yesterday I didn't see her eat the feed and worm...
