questions:
- What type of bird, age and weight? 3 chooks : Fayoumis, Plymouth Rock, Isa Brown all about 4 years old. The Plymouth is unwell. They all are on their roosts during the day.
- What is the behaviour, exactly? Sitting most the day and maybe she’s a bit more pale than usual but I could be imagining that. She also smells bad.
- How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms? I notice a few days ago
- Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma? Not visible
- What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation? Not aware
- What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all. Water & feed
- How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc. slightly runny and stuck on her features around exit
- What has been the treatment you have administered so far? We cleaned her
- What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet? Love to treat ourselves
- If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help. See below
- Describe the housing/bedding in use: They are in a metal coop, with straw bedding or leave and a large run with greenery.
- General health: We have been using Diatomaceous Earth Powder, insect powder and avi vital in their water as we have been treating mites. There are also brush hanging around that we haven’t been able to move on. The Isa Brown has blood on her comb. They are all not laying anymore.
