Quite possibly. I'm in a bit of a bind as I have the children today & my isolation spot is already occupied. If I get some space I will look for a spare box & find a spot round the house for her that neither cats nor children can reach. Thanks, MJ.

She might do better with one little friend in a quiet place with lots and lots of food and water.Quite possibly.

Sorry, I haven’t got any advice for what to do or might be going on, sounds like you are doing everything right.Calling experienced chickeneers:
the 2nd of my 4 wk old Wyandotte chicks is lethargic & not really eating or drinking. I have started treating her for cocci & syringed some egg yolk into her this morning. Only got 2~3 ml into her but I did get some electrolyted water into her as well. Anyone with ideas as to what might be going on & what I should be doing? Bedding is changed every day & kept dry. Water kept clean. I was using medicated feed but will change that if I start treating everyone for cocci.
Thanks, Scrambles83. Chicks are outside my experience. :{ Im clueless.Sorry, I haven’t got any advice for what to do or might be going on, sounds like you are doing everything right.
Just wanted to say I hope she’s ok, I will be thinking of you.
Have done. I posted here because I knew the Aussies'd be around.The only symptom is lethargy? How are her poops?
Things happen very fast with chicks. Please post on the emergency forum. I will not be able to look at your response for a couple of hours
They pull pigment from their tissues for the yolks, I believe. So earlobes are white when laying and yellow when not. That was definitely the case for Margo and seems to be for Dorothy and Flash, as well.She's a leghorn.......she's laying! Can you explain this earlobe thing @micstrachan ? I've not heard this one, I don't think.
Corid is a good idea if she’s puffed up. Make sure she’s warm. Could she have ingested bedding? Is her crop emptying?Calling experienced chickeneers:
