    Hen cannot stand or pull legs under herself >24hrs

    Sorry, I just realized the above link is incorrect. I have The Eliminator-Beginner; tag info above is correct. They have been eating this for about a month, we finished the last of it today.

    Hen cannot stand or pull legs under herself >24hrs

    This is what they have been eating for ~ a month. The tag says 50 g/ton, Bacitracin Methylene Disalicylate, 0.0125% Amprolium. https://centralfarmky.com/product/eliminator-gamecock-conditioner/

    Hen cannot stand or pull legs under herself >24hrs

    Thank you! It's kind of a mess here, honestly. I feel like the consult pushes the Corrid for the F&S because it's expensive more than because it's useful. The consult isn't a vet, and won't psychically see the birds; he works for the F&S, and got a little tripped up trying to tell me that they...

    Hen cannot stand or pull legs under herself >24hrs

    I have hit a snag, I want to treat with Corrid since cocci is suspected, but no one out here knows if I can give Corrid with the Bacitracin medicated feed they are currently on.

    Thank you, the consult at the Feed & Seed thinks she has Coccidiosis. I am going to pursue treatment with Corrid. You are lucky, my neighbor lost a few to wet pox last year, necropsy confirmed; another lost her whole young flock a few years ago. I'm located adjacent to a state park and nature...

    Update #3: We're on Day 6 post-rescue, and Elvira seems to be stronger every day. The bad news is that either the roo, Nightshade, or the other ladies forced their way into the coop this morning and stole some food, and pecked a scab off. The good news is that Elvira climbed into a nesting box...

    Hen cannot stand or pull legs under herself >24hrs

    I'm in SW Ohio, I work nights so I'm up late. I've never heard that fowl pox is a summer-fall only disease, and with our lack of real winters, I've read it's more likely to become common. And we've already had mosquitoes out...

    Hen cannot stand or pull legs under herself >24hrs

    Update #2: Elvira is doing much better today, she's standing for short spells and trying to walk by dragging herself along by her wings and pushing with her feet, she looks like a dragon (Think How to Train your Dragon). She's more coordinated but still weak in the legs. The bad news is that...

    Hen cannot stand or pull legs under herself >24hrs

    As stated, I don't have a way to separate her, and not to be melodramatic, but with five hens to one roo, her life is rape. When I had her laid out in the sunshine, he mounted her twice, which isn't unusual, and no one has bothered her in her cubby. She has water within reach, and the feeder is...

    Hen cannot stand or pull legs under herself >24hrs

    At this time, I can't. She is doing better. I know I should have set up our 'Hospital' before I got them, but it didn't happen. I can't bring her into the house, and I don't have anywhere safe to separate her- I have a four year old, a large dog, and three cats. I usually sit with them several...

    Thank you, I absolutely will and I will make an effort to finish my 'Hospital' ASAP.

    Hen cannot stand or pull legs under herself >24hrs

    Update: I went out to check on her and someone had eaten all the food I had left beside her so she pushed herself under the feeder again. I gave her some tuna, water, feed, and oyster shell. I placed her back in her cubby and let her sit on my hands/held her feet until her feet warmed up (Were...

    Hen cannot stand or pull legs under herself >24hrs

    Thank you both, Eggcessive and MandS, for your response. I think I am leaning toward injury; there have been no obvious signs of illness. She had one black, tarry poop yesterday but all her poops today looked normal. No one has had green poops or diarrhea. The first photo was where I laid her...

    Hen cannot stand or pull legs under herself >24hrs

    One of my year old Black sex-links seemed to have disappeared, but she was buried alive by flock. I found her and an egg partially buried in a corner of the run on day 2 or 3. She was lethargic, but took water when offered, then ate an egg yolk after encouragement. I gave Sav-a-chick...
