I moved her to a spare rabbit hutch this afternoon. As soon as I put a spare waterer in for her she proceeded to drink for five minutes straight, maybe some of my mean guinea fowl wouldn’t let her eat or drink? I really don’t know. I’m going to check to see if she’s egg bound ASAP.I would have agreed....
Except for the fact that it is supposed to be a 10 month old chicken.
Those scales look very flaky and old for a 10 month old.
So though the scales do not have the typical raised edges... I wonder if it is an early case? Or.... why else do those scales look so old? Not sure... can't think of other causes.
Also, 10 months old is not a normal molt age.
And a lethargic chicken is usually a chicken thinking about dying.
I would put her in a small crate with food and water, and see if she improves.
It has been years since I have had feather footed chickens.This isn't normal for feather feet? Most of my feather footers looked like this, but have always kept a close eye and haven't ever seen issues.
No problem! Foolishly, most of ours have feather feet and we live in a very rainy area. Constant mud toes.It has been years since I have had feather footed chickens.
So... if you have them, they look like that, and it has never gotten worse... then yes, it must be normal.
Thanks for chiming in.
It's fine.It’s alright, just though you could help
Do not make your bird vomit. It's best to get it to pass out of the body naturally with some treatment.Because she vomited up the liquid, do I need to be massaging it out of her crop? Although I’m really terrified she’s going to aspirate if I do that. She’s not doing too well, I’ve got her wrapped in a towel and she’s just sitting floofed up with her eyes closed.
What do I need to do? I read the article and unfortunately I don’t have any anti-fungal cream right now. Since she’s at the vomiting stage I don’t know what treatments to try.Do not make your bird vomit. It's best to get it to pass out of the body naturally with some treatment.
