The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[jenniferlamar70]

I just finished treating for cocidosis for all of my chicks and today my Chocolate Orpington can't stand or walk properly and is breathing heavily. She drinks and eats well there's no impacted crop or poopy butt. I just started antibiotic just incase respiratory I have no idea what's going on maybe she injured it but I have no idea how to address that.

She's also panting

What kind of antibiotics are you using? If panting it's most likely respiratory. Can you hear anything when it breathes? Can it not stand or does it not want to? Go to your local tractor supply or feed store and pick up some oxytetracycline and start that right away. Also some save a chick vitamins or vitamin treats also help. Do any of your other chicks show any symptoms also how old?

Ok I'm not at home I'll try that the second I get there I'll txt u how it goes I have noticed her crop isn't emptying

 

[cmccullough1390]

So far all the same she seems to be calming down but can't keep balance or coordinate her neck still giving antibiotic and vitamin. Gonna let her crop empty before trying to feed

She's doing a little better she's still not able to get around but she is now eating eggs and I caught her eating chick start on her own. She still needs a little help with drinking and I'm giving vitamins for a boost with the antibiotic she's much more restful and alert rather than out of it

Cocoa is going to spend her first night back with her little buddies she's the biggest but she's restless in her isolation. She's only slightly wobbly but is eating drinking on her own and cuddling her "sisters"

These silly girls are suddenly obsessed with the AC unit! They're starting to get some buff spots on their chests and faces. I think it makes them look neat.
