Help! Showgirl sick.

[Linda1218]

I have a year old show girl that been sick over a month now . First start off very lethargic and moving very slow . Then head tucking and then staying at once place . I separate her and been giving her antibiotics then treat her with corid and then denagard and giving here vitamins and scramble eggs . Seem like she not getting better at all and I tried everything . She is not egg bound either . Now she seems the same lethargic , stay at one place and losing balances sometimes , and let me remind you it been over a month now . Anyone want to chime in and knows what going on?

Do you have photos of her and her poop?

Does she lay eggs?

What do you feed, including treats?

Look her over for lice/mites, consider getting a fecal float to see if worms are part of the problem. Make sure her crop is emptying overnight. Feel the abdomen for bloat or fluid.
Check her legs/feet for evidence of scaly leg mites or bumblefoot on the bottom of the feet.

There's so many things that affect chickens, it's hard to know.
Losing balance, I'd start with giving 400IU Vitamin E and 1/4 tablet B-complex daily along with a treat of egg. See that she's eating and drinking.

Ever since she sick she doesn’t laid at all . I do check her daily to see if she egg bound of some sort but she isn’t . I been just feed her laying crumble and scramble eggs . I thought she have sour crop too but it empty which is so weird . She have gotten very skinny I been hand feeding her and water . I do notice that her poop is whitish green but very dry .

What antibiotic?

Corid is a coccidiostat, it's not an antibiotic, it will only treat Coccidiosis. Does she have Coccidiosis?

Denagard is Tiamulin which is an antibiotic and used to treat Mycoplasma in poultry. Do you have Mycoplasma in your flock? Does your sick Showgirl have current symptoms of respiratory infection? If not, then I would not be giving her Denagard.

It's not good to be rotating medications/antibiotics. If she didn't respond the first time to the meds, then giving them again is not going to be of benefit.

You thought she had sour crop - what symptoms did she exhibit that made you think that?
