Hi,
One on my chicks, hatched on Easter, was attacked last night by her Mother and Father. I am not sure just why they did this, only that hubby said he put feed in the feeder and they hopped on her, pecked her bloody and smashed her into the mud like they wanted to kill her. I isolated her in a rabbit cage with a false floor so the poop will drop through, in which I put a perch and a small box with hay, scratch feed and water. I put nitrofurantoin on her head where the had pecked her raw and set her broken leg. She made the night ok and was moving around a bit this morning but this evening she is lying on her side, feels feverish and has not eaten or taken fluid at all, which means no antibiotic on board.
I have some terramycin pills. Is it possible to grind them up and make a suspension of them and kinda shoot it down her gullett?
Does anybody have any idea if that med would work, I know it is used for bacterial infection and I am assuming this is what is causing the fever.
Any ideas would be welcome.
I and aes thank you!
