My chicken is sick

[Udeagbala]

My chicken looks as if all is not well with her. But I don't know what to do with her. I have been mixing antibiotics in her water source but she still looks like this. She feeds well and take water too.

Folks are going to want additional information about this chick so they can be more of help.

Where are you located? Besides staying hunched over like that, is that chick producing runny or bloody stools, breathing heavy, sneezing, etc? What antibiotics is she on? Is she the only chick like this?

The chick is sick, and she needs to be moved to a warm area. If you have other chicks, and you think moving her might stress her out, you can make a no-touch but-see pen, but you really want the bird in an enclosed area where feed and water are near, where she doesn't have to fight for resources. Try adding electrolytes to her water, or drip a drop of sugar water along her beak often to keep her hydrated. You can offer warm soupy feed, and mashed scrambled eggs as well.

A common illness with chicks that age is Coccidosisis, which often causes a hunched-over appearance, lethargy, blood stools. That might not be her problem, but for the heck of it to rule it out, you could try dripping a few drops of Corid along her beak.

I agree with the above, and the chick looks like it could possibly have an advanced case of cocci, though the 'eating and drinking fine' part puts a puzzle angle on it....

The best thing you could do would be to take it to an experienced vet, is that a possible thing?

What is her breathing like? Is her body moving up and down as she breathes?

How old is she?
