Hi PLEASE HELP ME! I have a bantie girl 10 weeks old is lathargic, fluffed up, and showing signs of ilness.
I have recently been mixing her medicated chick crumbles with regular 18% chicken crumbles. I have been really busy lately so im guessing it was over night that she became ill....i found her laying upsatair s in there chicken coop with her wing spread up on a peice of wood used as a roost.....she didnt really move at all when i picked her up but she did cluck (yeah her cluck sounded kind of like she was imatating a rooster) my first thing i said was "!@#$" "Mom we gotta go to the vet" but then my mom looked at ther and she said she looked sick. She also said that she looked egg bound but she hasnt layed an egg yet thus she is not old enough. As i siad before shje is very tired, so im not sure what to do. I really dont want her to die because i already had one sick chick who died because it had a parrot beak, and i can not take another chicken death. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP HELP HELP PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP HELPHELPHEELP

Hi. Sorry to hear I've had my fair share of deaths too so I know how you feel. What I would do is put her in a warm place (possibly under a heat lamp) with plenty of clean water and I would take her off of the medicated stuff by now if shes 10 weeks old. Typically you only feed that to them when they're younger. So heat, clean water, and regular chicken scratch, or for a treat some mealworms, and pray for the best. Good luck 
