Help Sick Khaki Campbell Hen

[Justin Statham]

Hello I have a Khaki Campbell hen that's sick and lethargic and not eating. She had bumble foot about 2 weeks ago and I gut it out and she seemed to be doing ok. Now she is barely moving, weak and not eating. I am not sure what to do. No vets can see her till middle of next week and it may be too late. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I have her separated from the flock and gave her food and water. Other than that I am not sure what else to do. I have ready yogurt, Apple cider vinegar etc.

How old is she? Can you post a picture of her foot is there swelling in that foot or leg? Can she walk? One thing you want to do is keep her in a place when she can stay warm maybe inside in a dog crate? Will she drink water? And if she lays when was the last time?

 

[Justin Statham]

She is 8 months old. I really don't know the last time she laid. I have 25 so its hard to tell who has laid and who hasn't. I have her inside a dog crate in the garage and it looks like she has drank and ate a little since she has been in the crate. I put in chick starter because its easier for her to eat than the pellets.

Are you still treating her foot it looks like it needs to be. Not saying this is her problem but staff can spread into joint bone and blood so work on getting her bumble healed. Did you take off the scabs and get the infection out? That’s good it looks like she has eaten and drank do you have any poultry vitamins? Any antibiotics animal or human? And how is her poop looking?

I am going to work on her feet again tonight. What kind of antibiotics can i give her. I have several around. Her poop is very watery, There is a picture of it in the cage. She went right before I took the picture.
