Sick Chicken - Help Please

sorry for your loss

Thanks everyone. I do feel bad whenever one dies because I feel like I screwed up with my lack of knowledge. One died from choking, which now I know was too long of grass. Then a dog got in our fence and got one. Now I have them locked up in a run all the time. Then one was gagging on something, but we saved that one. Then one broke a shell inside and I saved that one. Then they started eating their eggs and we finally got that under control. Then this chicken. It feels like I suck at this. 3 chickens dead in 2 years seems like a lot.

Theres nothing you can do to prevent all that happening. That is purely bad luck

Don't beat yourself up. Things happen beyond our control. We all have done things we wish we could reverse. But we have to forgive ourselves and move on. I am sure you gave her a great life. But it was her time to go.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I have had two birds in the past 48 hours with these exact symptoms and I am dying for more info on what to do. Mine are only 12 weeks old. Unfortunately we lost one this morning before we noticed the second sick one. I vomited this one hoping to buy her some time while I find her a cure.

Sorry for your loss. You should start your own thread, you'll probably get more help that way.

Did your chicken recover? It's seems to be something wrong with the crop or a stuck or broken egg that causes that. I had a girl have a broken egg act like that. Soon as I got the shell out, she was back to her normal self. Sorry I didn't see this sooner.
