What do you mean? Like don’t give to her or just don’t give to all chickens

Correct...I'd tell you to stop feeding it period...to all birds.

What I'm saying is scratch grains are like junk food to chickens.
Think of it as candy or chips.
You only want to offer it once in a blue moon not daily or weekly.

What I'm saying is feeding it can cause your birds to be overweight AND cause them to not get a balanced diet... Which leads to exact problems like you're seeing.

Oh and to help you understand my problem with medicine... I can’t take her to a vet because 1 it closed and 2 it is really expensive and I would have to get my parents to help pay

She is happy and back to herself!!!

Fish mox is an antibiotic. You can get it at TSC. Recently they renamed it so it might be called FishBiotic.

It’s fine. I probably won’t be able to help much in the next few hours... I’m going to clean the chicken coop, sorry.

She is happy this morning. I am getting her some yogurt that I get them when their calcium is low. They won’t eat egg shells and oyster shells.
