Bordercollie22: Sick chickens are sometimes very difficult to help because most people simply don't know what's wrong with them. If you know some old timer from back on the farm ask him/her. Since you are there, and the rest of us aren't, figure out to the best of your ability what the symptoms are then go on line. If nothing shows up CALL A LOCAL VET AT ONCE. Even if you do not know one someone will give you some help on the phone. Remember that time is critical. CALL, DO NOT E-Mail. They won't laugh at you just because it is a chicken.

Someone earlier gave me a great link to help diagnose illness in chickens. It has a nifty table that describes symptoms and what diseases are associated with them. It also gives treatment advice. Hope that helps!
