EE Pullet not Feeling Well

[JacinLarkwell]

She's moving her head around a bit but her eyes are still shut

She just pooped.

She should regain her strength after a few hours of the sugar/electrolytes. Be sure to encourage her every so often and leave the solution within easy reach for her to drink. If she responds to this and recovers, it's a sign that hypothermia was her problem.

I did notice it looks like she might have worms. I'm not surprised, they get worms every year with the grasshoppers. But I haven't been able to get ivermectin lately this year thanks to people buying it for themselves for covid

Thank you so much. I'm hoping she gets strong enough to hand over to mom since I have work in a few hours. She managed to get up and turn around, but that's it

Sleeping with her mouth open isn't really bad, right? She's not shivering anymore and she made herself comfy, but I've never seen a bird sleep like this.

She also was making a honk/sneeze cluck when I was blowdrying. I can't tell if it was aggravating her or if she was trying to talk

Still sleeping bit she moves to get comfortable. She cracks her eyes open, but barely.

Offer her some cooked egg. Maybe it's time for some food. If you have a cat, most chickens can't resist Fancy Feast or other canned cat food.

Safeguard will treat most worms and it's actually approved for chickens, even though it's for goats.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

I have to leave for work in an hour and there won't be anyone here for at least an hour and a half after that. What should I do to keep her warm until someone is home Again?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

We only have dry cat food. Working on the eggs now, should I pop some in her mouth when they're done so she knows there's food?
