It seems really bad everyone...I have done research for days trying to figure out what could be wrong with her. I'm in tears because she seems to be suffering. Her beak is open and she breathing so heavily, neck twisted up, and shes so tired after doing this for almost 3 days now.....
At least...
Ok I swaddled her. She freaked out at first and stretched her neck for the first time trying to get away, but shes laying now. Her breath is kinda noisy. She seems like shes gasping
Ok so, we are in eastern pa. Reading area. She cannot go very far in ranging. She has the entire underneath of the chicken pen to herself, and maybe 10×10 fully enclosed space in the yard. She can move both wings and legs. Shes keeping her claws clamped up tho. Nose drainage, I forgot, vet said...
He prescribed an antibiotic and something to help her digest food....honestly they told us they have no idea what it is and to put her down. My mom didnt have the heart. The chickens name is Baby, she is her absolute favorite
The site will not let me post video for some reason. No moldy feed. We have really warm weather here all of a sudden so our best guess was she got into something with bacteria, but her stool came back clean from vet.
She is in the bottom of the pecking order because of how docile she is. She has her own separate inclosure that we keep extremely clean and safe. It cannot be head trauma from another chicken.
Her neck is extremely contorted. I try to help her straighten it and it just knots itself up again. Twists around and goes into her chest, then she lays on it. The vet said it's not mareks disease :(
My hen is a barred rock, she is about 9 months old. This has been happening since Tuesday but getting worse. We have been to two vets and BOTH have no idea what's wrong with her. She drinks water with help, and some food with the water. Her poop is semi regular, yellow diarrhea and normal mixed...
