Sick Chicken?

What’s causing the tremors? Dehydration?

It's quite possible. They don't like to eat much when their crop isn't functioning like it should, and they aren't getting the nutrition they should as well.

I don‘t know what is causing the tremors but fluids and electrolytes could help if she is dehydrated from the food and water not getting digested.

I got some electrolytes from the store, but when opening the box I saw it was expired but I put some of that in their water before returning the bag.

I also picked up the miconazole cream today, and thankfully, she ate it! I put about a quarter of an inch of it on a spoonful of mashed bananas.

I did massage her crop this morning before noticing some liquid coming out of her mouth, but I feel better now that she’s eaten her medicine. I’ll continue that medication for a week

You can use Pedialyte or Gatorade or even make homemade electrolytes. Add 1 tsp of sugar and a pinch of sugar to a quart of water. If you have salt substitute a tiny pinch of that will add potassium as well.

Matilda is doing so, so much better!! Obviously, she isn’t healed yet. But she is moving around a lot more, and she’s eating better. I’ll continue giving the medication for that full 7 days, and maybe tomorrow I’ll put in that homemade electrolyte. But I believe she is on the road to recovery and will make it just fine.

Thank y’all so much!! Without your help, I don’t think she would have gotten better. Thank you!!
