Hen losing weight and getting weak

[HeatherKellyB]

Have you opened her beak and looked closely all over her mouth for any canker? Or anything out of the ordinary?

Liquid

For a Quart drinker, I believe it's 1/2 tablespoon liquid Corid.

You checked all around her vent and bottom for flystrike, right?

Yes check all around and well, that smell has to be coming from her somewhere.

Yes, but I’ll check again with a light just to be sure.

I’ve never run into that before, but I did check under her wings and vent. I didn’t find anything.

For a Quart drinker, I believe it's 1/2 tablespoon liquid Corid.

The liquid Corid dosage is 1/2 teaspoonful per quart/liter or 2 tsp per gallon for 5-7 days.

Smell her breath while touching her crop to see if the bad odor is coming from a sour crop, or her face. Look for any nasal or eye drainage, and look inside the beak and throat for any yellow plaques or canker.

Her stool is loose, I checked her over again today and still found nothing on her body. I checked her mouth again. She’s eating very little. Also I checked her crop it didn’t seem very full.
