Lethargic, sleepy chicken

[Kiki]

Her head nodding has become less stronger. She has not drank or eaten anything today, and only pooped one more time. Her beak is filled with very sticky spit, and tons of it. We are honestly considering culling her. How long should I wait before I do?

Don't wait.

You may want to consider going ahead and putting her out of her misery so she won't suffer through the night. But do what you think is best. So sorry.

Is she still with us? It could be infectious coryza, which can sometimes be treated with antibiotics.

Could it be sour crop?

Could it be sour crop?

Does her breath smell bad?

 

[Panicky]

We put her down yesterday. It was clear to see that she was in pain and wouldn't get better.

So sorry for your loss.

 

[CluckNDoodle]

I'm so sorry for your loss. You did everything you could and she knew she was loved until the very end.

 

[RhodeIslandRed5]

So sorry for your loss. But you did what you could.

 

[micstrachan]

I’m so sorry.
