Good morning all.

I've got a question...

One of my pullets came up sick this morning. She was kind of rumpled feathers & lethargic last night, but this morning she won't wake up and when I force her awake she can't stand up, she just plops back down and closes her eyes I tried to give her some water, but she wouldn't take it.

No bloody poop either.

Anyone have any suggestions? I can treat cocci...but beyond that, I'm pretty much stumped.

In case you haven't yet you should post this is the emergencies and sickness section. You will get lots of ideas. sorry your girl is sick.

Hi everybody! Just found this thread and am so enjoying looking at all of your beautiful birds! We have only had our orps (bantams) for a short bit, but they are quickly becoming a favorite. We currently have 2 blue roos, 3 blue pullets and 2 black pullets. We are hoping to get some of them in the shows this spring.

Here are some of my babies. Would love to know what you think of them!

They are beautiful. I am wanting some blue but the larger size.

Yeah, I already had it up there, but nobody is responding....I figured I'd ask here as well.

have you tried some save-a-chick? You might have to take and force some down her. she might have worms as well. That is about the extent of my knowledge. Sorry.

Your birds have some beautiful feathering. They look so shinny and healthy.

Is your pullet laying? If she is laying, when did she last lay? Could she be broody?
Have you isolated her?
How long has she been sick? What are you feeding?
Have you done an exam? Does she have lice or mites?
Has she lost weight?
Have you checked the coop? Could something of gotten at her?
A bird that is this lethargic is critical. You have not given much information.
You can pm me if you have additional information.
It is not advisable to give drugs to a bird you have no clue what is wrong.

She's not laying, she's only 10 weeks old.
She's in her own tub in the garage under a heat lamp.
She started acting lethargic last night before I put them in the coop.
She has no signs of lice or mites, plus they get sprayed with flock protector weekly.
She has not lost any noticeable amount of weight. Still feels heavy when you pick her up.
There's nothing in the coop, and getting into the coop is 100% impossible at night after I lock them up.

More information:

They are all still on medicated chick start and grow feed, so I don't think it's cocci...they actually had it before, complete with bloody diarrhea, but it cleared after a week on sulmet.

I didn't post any other information because I don't HAVE any other information...she's not standing, puffed up, and sleeping all the time. The husband wants to cull her, and I don't know what else to do to save her...

I don't understand why my freaking birds keep getting sick. I told my friend how often I clean my coops and what I do with my birds and she laughed, told me that her hens are lucky if they get their coop cleaned monthly...but still, my birds are the ones that keep getting sick...even though I do everything in my power to keep them healthy.

This is not the thread for this conversation, however we will get to the bottom of this. You have MORE information to give and you have given me good additional information that is going to help. Move to the other thread please.

WRV.....sorry to hear your girl is sick. I have a great site for you to look at.... www.hencam.com/faq/
If anything try some Epsom salts/water by mouth. Read the med. sheet
