3 month pullet sleeping & lethargy

She eats and drinks what I consider “normal”. I will check her crop. We started her back on .1 ml Corid this morning as well as in the waterer.

Where are you located? The heat plays havoc on our flocks. You might also want to give her "Save a chick" or Hydro Hen in the water. Plus, make her a scrambled egg to eat if her crop is good.

We are 20 miles south of Houston. These 2 have been in A/C at 80 F since we brought them home at 5 weeks. Up until this started we would fill the waterer with 25% pedialyte once a week and it was available le all the time the few days they were outside. They seem to like the strawberry flavor pedialyte best. I’ll try the eggs!

I have some poultry cell but not nutridrench. I was considering stopping Corid and giving poultry cell for a few days.

Try the poultry cell.

 

[KemahBYC]

There are some things that can be given with Corid and some that cannot, so I'm not sure. I'll tag the experts. @azygous @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive

Thank you!

She is also due for the 2nd dose of Ivermectin on Tuesday.

Why are you dosing with Ivermectin? I'm just curious.
Remember, you need to be very careful dosing Ivermectin with chickens. Make sure your accurately dosing according to the chickens weight or you could have a deadly result.

 

[KemahBYC]

Ivermectin for worms. The dose was drawn up and given to us by the “chicken lady” where we got our hens.

Crop seemed empty this morning. No bulges or hard spots from her beak down to her breast. Her poop seems pretty normal.

 

[KemahBYC]

If she hasn't completed the second five days of Corid, she needs to finish. This will kill any eggs that hatched since the first Corid round. Poultry cell is just vitamins but should not be given until her second round of Corid is completed.

Thank you!

One of my hens did this, I thought something was wrong with her so I pulled her from the flock and put her in a crate for observation, as soon as she was alone she was fine. I mean i set her down and the tail went back up and she was walking around fine. The other birds were being mean to her, we shifted the flocks around and put her in with different birds. She has been fine ever since.

Our issue was the rooster had gotten too big for the amount of hens he had, and she was the bottom of the pecking order. She found herself a higher spot in the new pecking order after the move. I think she wanted the others to think she was sick so they'd back off.

Check her crop early in the morning before she eats or drinks anything and see if it emptied.
How does her crop feel now?
Is she eating and drinking?
I would keep treating for coccidiosis.
