I think Star is dying!! Listless, head tilting backwards and laying on side.....DAY 3 UPDATE WITH E

[Fraunie]

This morning I think Star is having seizures and I couldn't get her to ddrink anything at all. She pretty much looks dead, spread out, not moving, body parts in weird angles, eyes closed, grey eyelids....but she's breathing.

Have no idea what to do or what this is, the rest of the flock looks ok so far. I'm going to check with the humane society on euthanizing as I'm not sure I could do it right now.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

This is day 3 of looking like this. She does change position slightly once a day or so, so she isn't completely paralyzed. Hasn't eaten but bites of yogurt on Saturday, drinks a good amount of vitamin water every 2 hrs when I check on her.

When do I euthanize??? how long do I let this go on?? I hate not knowing what is wrong or how to help her. Feel totally helpless, but I guess thats how it is with your first batch of chickens

I'm sorry but I would do it right away. She is not "living" life. She is enduring it until it ends.
