Oh hey! Sorry about the late response but I haven’t been asking any more questions because Paisley has gone back to normal. I’m still not officially sure what was wrong, but I’ll take it, cause she’s back to eating and engaging with everybody. I’m still using the corid just in case but they will...

Ok so I’m giving her coconut oil twice a day now, as much as she is willing to drink (which is not much) and giving them the corid-treated water. Paisley doesn’t look worse, and she’s drinking and moving around somewhat, but I haven’t seen her eat. Like I said, she tries, but doesn’t (or can’t)...

She’s not eating food, either. Her crop is always empty; I don’t think that she’s eating much. She just puts her head down in front of the feeder and half heartedly touched her beak to the food but never opens it. She is drinking, so she’s getting the Corid. I melted some coconut oil and dipped...

What if she doesn’t want to eat it? I tried to get some down her beak with my finger, but she didn’t seem to swallow it and either the oil or some sort of mucus was dripping out of her beak when I opened it. She also is closing one eye periodically and scratching at it.

Oh, and another thing I forgot to mention that might be important: some of the flock was stretching their neck out and opening their beak wide, as if they had gapeworm. However, there was no gasping noise and most of them stopped after the first day when Paisley started to become sick. I’ve seen...

Well, I guess it couldn't hurt to treat her for intestinal blockage. I know you said coconut oil, but I don't have any of that. Could I use mineral oil instead?

Ok. I went to go take pics of Paisley and as a result found bloody poop in the coop. Paisley sleeps in a certain nesting box, and I saw a small amount of normal poop in there and I found the bloody poop more near a roosting bar, so I can't confirm that the blood came from Paisley. However, she...

She has no sort of blockage in her crop; in fact, it's very empty. Her poops are pretty watery and mucusy, so it's not dry at all. I considered this possibility already and I don't think she has an impacted crop but it doesn't hurt to give her coconut oil anyway.

For the past week or two, it has been very humid and rainy. My dad dumped the clippings from his lawnmower into the run of our 12-16 week old pullets, which they devoured before I could take them out. Several hours later, one of our brahmas started seeming off and was worse the past two days...
