That is very possible.

Warm place to be safe and away from others until you know for sure.

I'm gonna give her a shot of Tylan...I can't just do nothing and that's what it feels like I'm doing. Do I give it sub q in her neck? She really seems to be fading fast. I have to do something!

I don't know about shots, I haven't had to give any to the chickens yet.
I hope someone else can help with that.
Good luck and let us know how she does.

this is her son, does anyone know what this is cause this is the 2nd time it happened, this silk is my fav so id liked to know if we can prevent it and stop it now, what do we need???

Try giving her a piece of bread soaked in olive or veggie oil. If there is something stuck in her crop that may help release it. I don't think the Tylan will help at all and could actually be worse for her.

If you do give her the antibiotics be sure to give her probiotics so she can get the good bacteria back into her system. I wish I could help you out on the shots but not sure how that is done. Pretty sure it's just under the skin in the breast area. Iwill do a quick search for you.

I'll go try but she won't eat. Drank a little water from a dropper. Turned her beak away from egg and yogurt

She wouldn't have anything to do with the bread. I held her and tried to get her to eat some with no luck. She's standing up with her head down and trying to sleep I guess. Her head keeps jerking, what could be causing that?
