Help salmon faverolle not eating

[peafowl_Lover]

I have albendazole so she worked out how much they need. I'm giving them 0.1ml and then I'm doing them again in 2 weeks time.

Glad the vet came out, hopefully the will all soon make a full recovery.

They're starting to eat again. The first one that was sick still isn't. I have to syringe feed her. There's one very sad little faverolle with a crooked beak who won't eat, I hope she lives but she looks very sick.

This afternoon, Moonlight died peacefully under her heat lamp. She spent her last few hours outside in the sun with her flock. This is the last picture I have of her when she was healthy. She's peeping out at the edge of the snuggle pile. Selena is slowly getting better, and they are starting to eat again.

So sorry for your loss. I raised some salmon faverolles, and they were sweet chickens as well as their rooster. Hopefully they will eat and get better.

They really loved sardines, but they don't like their chick crumble, I'm not sure if Selena will live, she's very sad and is lying down most of the time.

Shortly after I sent that last message, Selena died in my arms, she is at peace now. Croissant is the only one sick she won't eat chick food or sardines but she likes grass.

Oh, I am very sorry for your loss of Moonlight and now, Selena. I hope the medications will help the rest. Your vet might possibly do a necropsy on her to look for coccidiosis. You too could do a home necropsy. Here are some pictures of the bowel of a chicken with coccidiosis:

I probably won't do a home necropsy and I don't know if my vet would. Yes it would be interesting and I could know what killed them but they are my babies, and I think I'll just leave it as the rest are getting better and Criossant is finally eating chick crumble again. Thank you for all your advice

The chicks were so much better when I was giving them their last injection today, they were chatting a lot compared to the dead silence it used to be, and they wolfed down food and tried to flap away when they were getting their injection. Thank you so much for your help, and at least only 2 out of 9 chicks died it could have been much worse. I might get 2 more faverolles another time. Next time if i get new birds, I will worm them straight away and keep them inside for a week. Would 8:1 ratio of hens to a rooster be enough? Or do I need more?
