Rooster in Critical Health

[The WinterWolf]

is she walking? does she have a poopy butt? if no to the butt then check for bumps or large lumps under the legs.

The word "Vet" has been mentioned at least a dozen times in this thread.
Pushing a child to push Mom to go to the vet is not right.
We don't know their situation.
Mom is involved in the care of these birds, the child mentions that as well.
They are asking for our suggestions, so let's try to be civil and not cause undo stress with pressure/shaming.

Oh and it's not both birds. The rooster died pages back.

OK.
Here's what I would do. It sounds like her crop may not be emptying. Do keep in mind that often there's more going on and the bird is suffering from an underlying condition.
Since you did have some yeast(?) canker(?) issues in the past. Then I would treat for sour crop.

You can find Clotrimazole (Athlete's foot cream) at the dollar tree, dollar store or walmart.
Get some of that. Give your hen 1/2" of the cream twice a day for 7 days. In addition to the cream, give your hen 1 tsp coconut oil twice a day.
Don't massage the crop. Don't vomit the hen.
Make sure she's staying hydrated. You can syringe fluids and wet food into her or if possible, tube feed her. Links and photos to follow. .

I gave her miconazole since one of my hens had sour crop a BIG soft ball and she got cured with it. Twice a day 1/2 an inch. We only did it for a few days since we where giving quite a bit of meds

can she not hold her head up? is she on her side? also isolate her.

She’s by herself on a cage

I respect your opinions greatly, but I disagree with you here

How much does it cost you at your vet's office to diagnose and treat your birds?
Maybe you can afford it or you can finance it, but some cannot.
Some will not.

ok, in the house?

She has a poopy butt she would have died if it was egg bound by now since the my can only last 2 days. She walks but after walking a bit she lays down and stands up to keep walking where she’s going

Then re-treat. She was not "cured". You didn't finish the course.

You are giving too many treatments all at once and not following through.

You have info on how to proceed with this. Good luck.

a poopy butt?! get to the sink or faucet and get that poop off!

Yes thank you I feared if I kept on giving her way too many things she would have been worse

Not pasty butt like only on her feather her yellow whiteish poop comes out normally and fall in the ground I can still see her vent by moving the feather down a bit
