1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Silkies, they are like 3 or 4 months old and im unsure on weight
2) What is the behavior, exactly. Well for the past 2 they were fine one day then dead the next morning, the other one is on its death bed: not drinking, eating only when food is infront of it, unable to stand. And finally our silkie roo is just fine but the other 2 hens have died and the final hen is on her death bef it seems
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?: for the two that randomly died, none. For the one thats dieing, a few days
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms? Nope, our 3 non silkies have been fine and theyre right next to the silkies, and the silkie roo has also been fine
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma. Not that I can tell
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation. No clue, i know nothing about chickens, this was my parents decision.
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all. Chicken feed, idk what it is but it smells like apples and then just normal tap water
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc. Normal
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far? Disposing of bodies, unsure of what to do for the dieing one
10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?: id like to stabilize till we can get it to a vet as my parents are pretty decently in debt but spend every penny they earn (mostly on uneeded things)
11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
12) Describe the housing/bedding in use: will show in attached picture
