so one of our chicken we bought recently has gotten sick as some of you know. today she has passed away. I honestly don't know what was wrong with her. hopefully, this isn't a disease because the other chickens that came along w/ her are perfectly healthy, but I'll just have to wait and see. Im really weirded out on how she died, around an hour ago I gave her some scrambled eggs and surprisingly she ate a bit and decided to go sit on a perch, I helped her out since she couldn't jump. my mom came out an hour later to give the chicken medication and the chicken went into some kind of seizure and passed away (might've been the medications fault but we're not sure since she has been getting better when my mom was giving her medication over the days). also, there's something else that is weird, the chicken had a long yellow bald spot on her stomach, my mom said it was some kind of burn? Does anyone know what might have caused this?
 
  • I thought I had seen a post about a burn from an infection, but can't find it now. Some infections can get very hot. If it was along the digestive tract, maybe it was enteritis. I don't really know enough to say. I usually let the state animal pathology lab figure it out.
  • I'm sorry. It is hard to know if a sick chicken will make it. All you can do is try. I think most of us have been there.
