Help chicken down

[Hippiechickens76]

came hime to one of my pullets unable to get up. No signs of injury but herhead shakes. Not like a wobble but like a dog would shake like it’s in pain. What matches her symptoms is a rare disease but I need some help in what to do. Ideas, and I’m afraid it might spread to the rest of my flock

How old is she?
What do you feed your flock?
What is your weather like?

Any new birds brought in recently?

Can you upload a video of her to Youtube and post a link to the video here?

She is 5 months old. No new birds and I feed Durham layer mix. I’ll try to get a video. I had to run to town real quick I don’t know if she will be alive when I get back. She was fine yesterday

Your weather?
Could she have been bullied away from food and water yesterday?

Hot we are at 100+ for day 3 now but I’ve seen her eating and drinking I’m wondering if it’s not heat now

She needs water first...before food.
Offer her water as soon as you get back home.

 

[Hippiechickens76]

She did not make it. I put her right by the water before I left so she could get to it but not get her head stuck in it. I’m pretty sure it’s the heat. We have multiple water sources for them because it’s so hot

I've just been reading back through your previous threads and you bought 4 silkie mixes at a flea market on 9th June. @KikisGirls expressed concern then about you possibly buying diseased birds. To me, looking at the photos two of them looked like they might not be healthy. My guess would be that you may have made the mistake I did and brought Marek's Disease into your flock.
