Ribh's D'Coopage

Oh that's sad Ribh. I hope she recovers. Do you know what's wrong with her?
No. She's stopped eating. Not drinking much. Diarrhea. Sleeping all the time.She didn't come off the roost with the others this morning & I don't have access to a vet. She's sort of collapsed all spread out in my lap. i'm devastated. I've worked such a lot with this particular chicken.

Oh Ribh, I feel for you both.
The diarrhea could be due to the heat.
Do you have electrolytes? Honey, water may help at a push.
 
No electrolytes. I haven't been able to buy them. I've tried a number of times so as to have them on hand. :( She is drinking a little sugared water. She had a mouthful of scrambled egg. I'm not very good at this part of chicken keeping. I so wish there was an experienced keeper round here whom I could go to for advice but the chicken keepers I know are of the *it's only a chicken* variety.

I had a feeling it was Tuppence. So sorry Ribh. I'm glad she's taken some scrambled egg and sugar water. I wonder what ails her. Really hoping she pulls through. She's been slightly off her stride for a while.

It's difficult to tell from the picture but is that her crop bulging out at the front?
