Chicken dying??? Sleeping - not alert

[micstrachan]

This is urgent. She looks very ill. That also looks like blood in the discharge. Please give her a heat source, like a heating pad, right now. Would she be strong enough to get away from it? I try not to call on people so often these days, but I’m afraid there’s a strong possibility of losing her soon. Please prepare yourself for that. I’m so sorry. @Wyorp Rock @rebrascora @aart @Eggcessive @KikisGirls

If you’ve got corid, I would start her on it. It won’t hurt anything, and it may help. Of course, it always best to get a fecal test before starting any medicine...

I hope she’s feels better after her bath. I know I usually do!

 

[micstrachan]

I would not wet her. Just my two cents. Could push her over the edge if you don’t know she’s egg bound. I could be wrong, though.

Thank you @micstrachan , that was my feeling as well.
I have a heater in the bathroom, I can see if I can find the heating pad. She's in the warm water right now.

She isn't strong enough to do anything.

I missed @azygous

Ok, I'll try to dry her thoroughly and get heat

Cannot be sure from the photo that it is blood and not either swelling or tumor growth. Does the eyeball look normal?

 

[micstrachan]

Please remain calm and gentle with her. You’re her best chance. I am sorry you are faced with this and sincerely hope we can help. It may just be her time, but I hope not.

Well I failed her then; she didn't make it.

Thanks for the help everyone, I'll see what I can do to determine cause of death.

I'm more farmer then backyarder so I know this will be part of having animals, but it still sucks.

Doesn't help that my speckled sussex are the most friendly and curious of all my chickens.

Thanks again BYC

Oh no, I’m so terribly sorry
