Ok Since I am continuing from this thread
https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=224551
I am following ddawn, and threehorses advice and making a new thread. SO Here it goes
1) What type of bird , age and weight:
2 brahmas(on banty, on standard), and RIR, and an OEGB. THe oegb was a chick, about 3 months old. THe RIR and Banty Brahma, about 4 months old. THe Standard Brahma, about 9 months
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
Generally what happened was, I went to feed the hens some food, then I saw my OEGB laying on its belly, screeching. I stood her up to see what was going on, however no help...she fell backdown. I tried giving her water, but she refused. I decided to keep her in a brooder, kept her warm and comfy. SHe died a few hours later. THen, 2 days later, the same thing happened to the RIR and the Brhama bantam. Then about 3 days later, my last hen died, from the same exact situation...
3) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.
None, actually, just not able to use their legs
4) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.
Well, before it happened, we fed them corn, but it was cooked, and I doubt that has somethng to do with it...
5) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.
They were eating, before they started falling over, and not using their legs. But when they were down, they didnt eat/drink
6) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.
I remember the OEGB vomiting a week before, thats all, normal poop
7) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?
None actually, it was tooo late
8 ) 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?
N/A, already gone
9) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
No
10) Describe the housing/bedding in use
None, we had a run and a simple coop. No bedding. Very messy, they'ed sleep on roosts.
Hopefully that helps with my dilemma.
Thanks!
