i wanna be a cowboy, baby ( HELL YEAH )
Hi, I found one of my salmon faverolle pullets ( 21 weeks old ) with twine off of one of the hanging feeders around her feet and sprawled on her side yesterday morning. Where she was at one the floor had to be where everyone was at the door waiting to be let out, so I have no doubt she was stepped on quite a bit. I thought she was dead at first because she wasn’t making any noise until I picked her up and she made these soft “eeerrr”s at me.
When I picked her up, I noticed she was awfully skinny, so I think there might be something else going on too. I brought her inside, put her in a spare brooder tent ( literally a kids pop up tent, lol ) and gave her food & water. She’s eating & drinking on her own ( she’s laying down and eating as I type this ), but it’s not a whole lot. I put corid in her water, because I wasn’t sure if her skinniness was due to coccidiosis?
Anyways, she can stand up and walk around, but she still seems pretty stiff and weak when she walks. Is there anything else I can do for her? I’ll attach pictures of her & some of her droppings, but my phone doesn’t take the greatest pictures in lowlight.
EDIT: Because I ramble: I think there’s something else going on/some underlying thing going on too. I’m not sure what it is
