We needed him to eat food so we tried to use a syringe but sadly he ended up passing shortly after. He was very loved and we are still unsure what happened. It all was so sudden. I hope the rest of my chickens do well and it wasn't Marek's. Thanks to everyone who helped.
Thank you, we are trying everything at this point. We did prop him up with towels but he seems like he has no feeling in his legs. I did try stretching them out but he did bite me. I'm force feeding some solid foods which seemed to help food go down. Would force feeding just stress him out...
We tried that but he seemed to be stressing him out if anything. At this point I don't think he can even move his legs. I've been stretching out his legs just so he doesn't try to move too much. At this point we are trying to feed him, but he can only really eat yogurt and drink water.
Okay so to clarify we give him pellets and crumble mixed. As a baby he was always underweight. He struggles to eat crumble so we need to put water in it just so he can peck it. The best example I can think of is even on normal days he would fall over just trying to eat grass. He never properly...
It’s difficult to tell with the comb since he is a silkie. Now he has been getting what seem to be head spasms. I’ll try to get a video. He has tried to clean himself though which he wasn’t able to do yesterday. He has always been a runt and slow developer. I’m wondering if this is something...
He hasn’t pooped in about ten hours, he has been drinking a lot of water and still shows signs of appetite. Not sure if this is relevant but his stomach growls. When I feel his crop area is seems to be swollen. He has gotten very weak and is starting to breathe heavy.
We have been feeding him plenty of water, some yogurt (for babies with probiotics) aswell as providing some normal food and some variants of sources. He does struggle to eat big pieces. Also he has not disposed of anything in his crop for the past three hours.
We have a rooster who is now about 14 months old (roughly a year). I first noticed a week ago that he has something in his eye. Later on a hot day I noticed him sleeping on the ground. When I woke him up he could barely stand. He couldn’t even walk a step without falling. We took him inside to...
