My chickens is dying! Help

[ilovmychicks]

She's going on three years old she is a Rhode Island red no runny nose no sneezing she's just laying on her side I can't tell if her legs are paralyzed because she won't get up what does leg paralysis mean? Is it possible that she can come out of this? And how do I know if there would be an egg stuck in her that's a possibility.

Can you take her to a vet? If not, can you put her in a warm room?

Hun I wish I could afford a vet...normally I could but an emergency came up last week and it financially killed me.but she's on my front porch and it's 85 here

I've lost so many chicks already and I still have not learned enough to help you. The one thing that I haven't heard mentioned is if her body temperature is cold from the night outside maybe she needs to be put under heat lamp carefully, making sure you give her water not to dehydrate with yes electrolytes like you mentioned. Their body temperature should be from 103-107. If She's an air conditioning or if it was rainy or moist or cool last night maybe that will help. That actually saved one of my escapees from this stupid premier one fence that isn't working for me the other night. Found in the morning after a rainy night only three months old.

No its 85 here and only 70 overnight last night

When tips died did they lay on there side and breath heavy?

 

[ilovmychicks]

OK i just noticed, I tried to stand her up and it does look like her legs are paralyzed! What causes that?

 

[lilmillefleur]

maybe it's mareks disease...
I am no expert on this kind of thing so the best thing I can say is to end her suffering. She will thank you for it.

That was my first thought this morning when I seen her but I just feel like there's something I can do to help her

Have you checked her for lice and mites? How thin is she?
