Another chicken acting sick after one died suddenly

[starchicky]

that's good.  Do you have nutridrench or electrolites to give her?  I would keep her warm and in the house and see how she does.  Try and get her to eat something too.  Good luck I hope she pulls through this.

I can go get some electrolyte, thank you

 

[pattyhen]

that would be good for her. Let me know how she does.

 

[starchicky]

So I was able to give her nutridrench and more water. How often do you give the nutridrench?

 

[starchicky]

Wings droopy, panting, had some watery droppings. Also saw her clean her feathers a bit

 

[starchicky]

Got her to eat from my hand a bit at a time

 

[starchicky]

She made it through the night. She's still drinking water. She also was feebly clucking, sounds gurgly maybe.I listened to her breathing yesterday but didn't hear any rasping.

I would give her the nutridrench twice a day. Make sure to slowly put it in side of her beak. I'm glad she made it threw the night that is a good sign. Try and get her to eat and drink as much as possible. She needs her strength.

Let me see if I can get this person to help you with tubefeeding her. That way she can get the nutrition she needs.

She's standing funny, like maybe she has a suck egg or water belly (ascites). Can you post a picture of her poop?
