OK- I have a sick chicky. I am very attached to this one and would really like to save her. Please help me.
She is a 4 1/2 month old Blue Laced Red Wyandotte named Dove. She has had a few health problems this summer, mites, but I took care of those. Someone pecked her in the eye and it got cloudy for about a week, I though she'd gone blind, but it cleared up. She is also very under weight & boney.
Earlier this week she started limping, so I brought her inside and put her under a heat lamp. I can find no injury. She has been inside for 3 day and has stopped eating, her crop feels empty. I have tried enticing her with numerous foods but she just isn't intersted. I have been feeding her chicken broth through a syringe. Her poop is runny and yesterday I noticed a few flecks of blood in it, but none today.
Can anyone help me or offer suggestions of what I can feed her to give her some energy and fatten her up?
