I've posted about this chicken, in particular, a lot, but I still haven't found any answers. I'm going to list her symptoms and what I've done for her to see if anyone else has any clues.
-thin
-lethargic
-very weak, she struggles to pick up pieces of corn
-she cant swallow/struggles, shes not getting food through. (her droppings are small, particularly all water and a little white.)
-when she eats, she swallows several times after with her beak raised,
-one eye is half-closed
-if she eats too much, I can hear her wheeze, and she will regurgaite the food.
-I can tell she wants food, but just can't get it down. It's obvious she's not getting any nurturance and It's hard to get her to drink.
as for what I've done; vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, dewormed, probiotics, and I just started treatment with Tylosin.
I also have been giving her mushed up watermelon and yogurt, but she prefers the watermelon.
I noticed she had some dried blood in her nostril, but it's very little.
(most of the time she's sitting huddled up in the coop)
(Shes not laying, her crop is not impacted nor sour, this has been going on for almost 3 weeks.)
Could this be CRD or something else? none of my other birds are acting like this (to this degree.)
