EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

What is wrong with it?

Shalom Bennie!
There are more details on the thread (Pullet starving poopy butt....), but here is the gist of it. Last week I clean her poopy butt, and gave her ivermectin paste. Twice this last weekend I found her by the big event instead of on the roost with a poopy butt again. Then Tuesday and Wednesday evenings I found her outside and not in the coop(hindsight possibly too weak to get up the ramp to the raised coop). When I put her in Wednesday night I got her some water. She drank and I left the extra waterer in the coop. She went back over to the vent after drinking and she took one odd step as she went. I noted it, but was unsure if she just stepped on something. Last night I found her laying on her side by the water. When I picked her up I found out that she is EXTREMELY thin. She did eat some of the eggs I made her, but not much. She is drinking a lot. I put save a chick probiotics and electrolytes in the water. She was on her side again this morning. I set her back upright and she drank more. I left her on the towels with the heated pad near her and a regular bulb in my heat lamp for light and heat as my house is 55-60 during the day and she is shut in a bathroom since I have two cats.
Something is really not right.

Of course this would be the best HRIR pullet I raised this year Not that I want any of them sick but darn it why her She is not even laying yet at nine months either so I can't save her genetics if she does not get well.



Good morning everyone! Time to catch up.

I posted on your emergencies thread.
You need to have a fecal read.

In my opinion it could be .........Marek! can you check her eyes for ubnormality in her Iris? Check her skin especially the feather follicles see if for swollen ones.
I think that it a very serious situation, sorry!

yeah, well you have to have somewhere or someone who will do it to do one. Sorry, I am frustrated because I can't reach my vets, and I have no idea where to take one.

I need to research testing options around here for future reference.

.and mixing at room temperature with Scotch
Drinking
hydrating garden
hydrating chickens
canoeing
fishing
bathing
essential component of snow
essential ingredient for beer making

.

Drinking already covered
hydrating garden leads to shallow root systems & weaker plants
Hydrating chickens I'll give you
canoeing isn't part of my world. Bass boats, on the other hand...
fishing already established
bathing "
essential component of snow- snow , hopefully, not part of my world, either
essential ingredient for beer making - also not in my world

Send a sample to the Springfield poultry lab. Trouble is, if it doesn't get there today, they probably won't look at it till Monday. It needs to be fresh.

Do you know vets that know poultry? You're in the heart of one of the poultry capitols of the world so there should be lots of avian vets with poultry experience. Unless most work specifically with one of the commercial operations.

I would at least call the Springfield lab and get their advice.

I understand your frustration but I couldn't recommend a therapy other than warmth, ventilation, hydration, nutrition, probiotics without knowing what's wrong.

How is the duck doing?

Chrissy is doing ok. No infection, still drinking but not eating. Breathing is a bit more stable now.
