Hughes Wildlife Farm
Songster
1-1/2 month old Speckled Sussex chick.
She lost all of her flock mates with in the 1st 2 wks we had them. Red was in her stool back when she lost her flock mates, but since they all died, her stool has cleared up completely. (I check her daily for lice, as we just found them last week on many birds in our flock, so dusting has been my high concern and she hasnt had any live since I started treatment for it)
She eats and drinks perfectly..she moves around with her new flock, but is always puffed up with her wings hanging half down, tail always down.
Everytime I observe her, she is just standing still, puffed up, and dozing off. I have isolated her a few times to monitor her poop. Than return her to her flock when all seems fine.
She moves with her flock mates, but when ever they stop to scratch, she just stands there, puffed up and dozing off.
I officaly isolated her today, thinking I will do a full 7 day Corid treatment. With vitamins to follow after her treatment of corid is over.
Are there certain breeds that just act lethargic and always puffy, (for the entire time I have had her) or is it right for me to start a treatment plan?
Another notation, she is like a month
older than her new flock mates, which are all Amerucaunas, and they are already double her size.. Like she isn't growing
