IS MY CHICKEN OKAY?

[SoftMice]

Is she the only youngster you have or are there others her age?

Being pushed around and trampled - how much space do you have in your coop/run and how many birds?

Some birds can be bullied from food/water and show signs of decline, so it's good that you moved her to her own space with food/water.

I'd focus on her eating chick starter and get the electrolytes into her.

Hopefully she'll perk up, she looks like a sweet girl.

Hi! She is not the only one her age we have 2 barred rocks her age we have 11 chickens altogether and a good size run for them, the problem is she gets stepped on and pushed when all the chickens want to get out of the coop in the mourning they start stepping on her because she is very sweet and docile, we let them out as soon as the sun comes up. Thank you so much for helping!

Some are more docile than others.

Sounds like you may need a bit more space if she's getting trampled in the coop in the mornings.
You could place her in a cage/kennel every night to help protect her from the stampede, then let her out once everyone has come out of the coop.

I'm gonna try that, thank you so much!

I would provide her an extra feeding dish

My chicken is acting very strange, idk if it's because its underweight or being bullied but it's acting very tired and weak we tried to feed it sugar water through a straw, but it won't take it it's been laying down for hours and it's scaring me, does anyone know what to do?

Update she is acting like normal again once we brought her in and gave her food and water for herself

Perhaps treat her for cocci? Do you have corid?

Glad to hear it! So glad you got some good advice from Wyorp! Post again if she has any further issues.

The pictured bird is a young male, most likely a buff orpington.

she is around 4 months

our big chickens won't let her eat

she was bullied so much it lead to her not being able to eat

the problem is she gets stepped on and pushed when all the chickens want to get out of the coop in the mourning they start stepping on her

Update she is acting like normal again once we brought her in and gave her food and water for herself

Glad she's doing better.

Photos of the poop?

Hopefully you can find a solution to the bullying issue.
If the big birds are keeping her from food, then provide multiple feed and water stations.

If too many birds are an issue, then reducing the number of birds you have for the space you have can also be helpful. Sell, give away or process extra birds.

Don’t keep her away from the flock long. At least place her back with them in a dog crate with food and water. If she is being bullied, you need to spend time with them. Protect her and make sure they have plenty of feeding and water places.
