Picture of my chickens current condition. She looks dead but is breathing, slightly moving her head and feed and still opening eyes when we open the cage. She also is swallowing her food and water that we are feeding her wig a syringe.
Hello, my chicken Fauxy is very sick. Her breed is a mix of silkie and red star. She is about 4 years old. I have 4 other hens that are completely healthy and having no issues. 4 days ago she was having trouble balancing so we brought her inside to isolate her. We have been feeding her the regular high protein feed and also fresh corn. For the first 2 days she was still eating and drinking on her own but could not balance at all. By day 3 she is laying completely on her side and cannot move although she is responsive when we open the cage and will still eat and drink from the syringe. She also has watery green poop, no blood. She has no respiratory symptoms such as sneezing or weezing. She also seems to be shaking in her feet and head similar to a twitch or tremor. We are not sure what is wrong or what to do. Since she stopped feeding herself we have been feeding her pedialyte and baby food with a syringe. Her eyes seem somewhat cloudy. Any suggestions on what could be wrong? Again all other hens are completely healthy and show no signs of sickness at all. She is just laying on her side in our cat cage and cannot stand at all.
I'm so sorry! And sadly I have little advice. Seems there are plenty of others here that know there stuff! Sending long distance support.
