Sick white Leghorn

[Lovemygirls98273]

I have a year-old sick white like a ward who is not acting right. She's very lethargic her face is slightly blue and she's not a fast like she usually is. I am currently giving her a bath with Epson salt and putting olive oil all over body to try and help if she has anything stuck in her. Can anyone tell me how long to treat more mites and what this hair hall ball looking thing is in her wings?

I'm not a vet but make sure to warm her up and maybe give her something with protein. maybe a nice warm scrambled egg to get that protein boost. I can't really say much more because I don't wanna steer you the wrong way

I have no clue, but I'll bump this up for someone more knowledgeable to see. She really does look miserable in those pictures, poor thing. Is there a wound under those dirty feathers?

The "hairball thing" appears to be a wound. How long has she been this way? When was the last time you treated her for mites? Worms? When was the last time she laid an egg?

Does she have those hair ball things under both wings?

I had put her down tonight .... I've treated all my chickens for mites a month ago and some seemed like they were getting runny noses so I gave them recommended medicine from a farmer friend. This chicken seems to be the only one that had a ton of mites in her and after I tried giving her a soap bath then epson salt bath to see if there was a blockage she became 100% worse. All my other birds are healthy looking and have no mites. I'll change everything out again tomorrow. I'm not sure what went wrong. The hairball things were under both wings. She hasn't laid a egg in 2 weeks and neither have my other girls but my farmer friend said it's probably because of the time change, tempature change and possibly the medicine.

I'm sorry for your loss! You might want to worm them too.

Thank u... ok I'll look into that today!

My other white Leghorn looks healthy and I can't see any parasites on her but she also has that hair ball looking stuff under her wings. I can't find any information on it
