Hi all…
Wondering if you have ever seen anything like this before as we have not having raised chickens for over 10 years-
Chicken seems to have a swollen right ear lobe. I think because of this, her eye is half closed and she is having difficulty with her balance. She thrashes her head around in a circular motion and will not eat but did have some grass yesterday when placed in the yard separately. We have been keeping her away from the others for fear of pecking to death.
We have been feeding her B-12 with apple sauce and a syringe- also in is powder protein and other vitamins minerals and yeast. I dusted her yesterday with diatomaceous earth as I did see some mites- she has also had two injections of antibiotics- eye ointment and neosporin cream on lobe 2x daily for past three days-
HELP-
