Help! Sick BR! Need Help!

You gotta get rid of those mites. If they're visible she must be terribly infested and that makes a bird anemic and will kill the bird. Get some Sevin down at the hardware store and sprinkle that all over her. Lift the feathers and lightly powder. Get it everywhere except the eyes and face. Massage it in. Plan on repeating it every week for another week or two. When you return her to the flock your going to want to treat all the chickens and the chicken house with that. Start getting the duramycin going. Use a dropper if you have to. Don't force it just drip it on top of her beak.

She is drinking the water freely, so no need to force her. I got some imvertin (sp?) pour on for the mites. Figured maybe worms could also be making it worse with how warm and moist it's been here lately. Is it okay to worm her while she's on the duramycin? She's been drinking it all day.

Just an update on her condition.

She's eating! And not just worms. She's got blended squash insides with some crumble.

Thinking she might be eggbound. No egg in 3 days. Gonna try soaking her later...

Her tail is no longer hanging down, and her breathing seems to have gotten better.
