Please help. Chicken acting sick

[tillyschick]

I'm gonna give her some outside time in a bid since she isn't so lathargic. Let her roll around in the dirt some

 

[tillyschick]

I've been watching her closely. The first thing she did was take a little nap outside and just a minute ago she got up, ate some oats and drank some water by herself! First time in 2 days!

 

[tillyschick]

Still kinda tired. I've been dripping water on her beak all day. Ate a few more oats. Finally popping some. It's is super stinky!

Steam is a last resort and you have to be very careful not to burn the chicken never do it over the stove or anything boil the water take it out to the coop the cold air out side will help with the steam and the water will cool quickly. LAST RESORT ONLY!!!! its better than takin a chance on losing the chicken or braking the egg. NEVER BREAK THE EGG

Woke up to a very happy chicken. She greeted me and immediately ate. When she got up, there was an egg! Woohoo!! Still watching her closely and making her drink, but I feel like she isn't on deaths door steps right now. I really though my she was a goner on Saturday.

Yay!!!!!
Tell her I say great job and nice egg!
Yay! I knew she could do it!

 

[tillyschick]

She is acting so much better!! I've been watching her for 2 hours now. Not lethargic at all, pecking around with the others, eating and drinking! I'm still keeping rooster away so she can rest.

 

[sassysarah]

Good job!
You are a great chicken mommy!

 

[TwoCrows]

Yay!! I hope she continues to improve and makes a full recovery!!

Probably should have looks at a chicken diagram first. Whoops! It sure is deceiving feeling. Guess I'm kinda back at square one I know it's not bubble foot. I did check for that.

So I'm left with a very sleepy chicken who isn't eating or drinking.

Don't feel bad, took me a long time to figure out that is was the gizzard.
