In the Brooder
Hi again, Thank for messaging again, I really appreciate your help, I've had a good feel of her this morning, I'm new to chickens, we've only had them since June (they are about 10 months old). Her tummy feels ok, no hot spots, her comb is droopy, guessing because she's dehydrated, although I've been syringing water (with poultry tonic) into her. And her skin is pale. Breathing is good.
Also I'd read that if it is EYP they tend to stand in an upright manor (like a pengium), but she's not doing this. But I'm guessing the bright yellow diarrhoea is a concern.
I tried a couple of the online shops from your link, one came back and said I need to see a vet (I've had no luck there), the other has not responded yet. I do have human antibiotics (Flucloxacillin 500mg tablets), I don't really want to use those, but wondering whether I should try. I had read that others have used human antibiotics on their chickens, 100mg 3x day, for a 1kg bird, but really unsure about trying that.
VioVet has Tylan Soluble 100mg and also Baytril, but they require a vets prescription.
