Sick chicken

[mdenney]

Imhave a 3 month old chicken that has a swollen mouth and can not shut it, any ideas what this is?

. You really should post this in the Emergency section. Is she showing any other symptoms?

 

[mdenney]

How do I post there? She is almost unable to drink, needs a dish she can totally submerge. Eating however is a huge problem. I am using sugar water for now. These are my first set of girls

If you go to the forums tab at the top of the home page there is a drop down menu. If you put the cursor on 'raising back yard chickens', to the right you'll see a bunch of categories including an emergency one. Hope you chicken gets better!

Hi and from Ohio. So glad to have you aboard. Could have be stung by a bee. I hope you find a solution.
