Please Look-Pullet Near Death

[coffeemama]

Well they get time outside so she eats, and she is one of three LF in my flock of bantams, so she gets to eat before them usually. It's just so strange that she is all wobbly and all. She's better today-well not dead which is where I thought she was headed yesterday. She is standing a bit, and will go out to the brooder area in the coop with the little Dom cockerel later today.

treating with antibiotics when you have no idea if there is a bacterial infection or what kind of bacterial infection is inappropriate and irresponsible. this is how we cause antibiotic resistance in bacteria as well as throwing antibiotic residue into the environment and our food chain. I know this comes across as very strong, but I really feel many people use antibiotics irresponsibly, I wish people could not go to the feed store and buy quite so many things without knowing more about the drug and how to use it, and if it is appropriate to use it at all...

How cold is it where you are? You mentioned they get better after being brought in and warmed up. It could be something as simple as they are getting too cold. Do they have a warm place to go during the day/night?

I think I would try and get her in a warm place where she is separate from the others for a while and give her food and water of her own..
some extra goodies wouldn't hurt..yogurt, cooked egg..vitamins.

were you able to check the crop?
