Hi guys! I have a chicken named Peaches and she is sick, again...
It started this morning when my mom noticed her standing eyes closed. She brought her inside and told me. I thought she might be exhausted because of the heat because prior to today, it was really, really hot and humid... So we gave her electrolytes by a syringe because she didnt want to drink it by herself. Later in the day she seemed to perk up, eating, drinking, walking and pooping. I was so thankful she was okay and so I brought her out. She ran down the hill to the coop and went straight in the nest. Later my brother went to collect the eggs and handed me hers. I started looking at it and I touched just slightly harder and it cracked- it was paper thin... We immediately brought her inside and gave her 1 calicum tablet with d3. I also gave her yogurt and kefier. She ate some of that as well. Other things I fead her were live meal worms, dry food, grapes, dry meal worms and some egg (she didnt want the egg.)
I am super lost now... Her poops are normal poops I can get a pic if you guys need, nothing is coming out of her vent, she keeps one eye open most of the time and the rest she just sleeps... Is she deficient of calcium? I already dewormed the flock, her dose stopped yesterday.
Lastly, this isn't the first time this has happend to her. Maybe 2 times she had problems with calicum and egg bound. So I think her body can't absorb calcium. How can I fix this? Please guys I need your help! Thanks.
