I've got a sick emaciated 2 year old black sex link hen who I am nursing in my garage.
She hasn't been right for a few weeks now. But she did seem to get some color back in her face after worming and treating for Cocci but hasn't made any other improvements.
She is currently on another round of worming and Corid treament.
She stands up tall with her wings down for support. She likes to rest up against a block to help her balance and stay up; she's weak. She can only waddle just a little so she pretty much stays in the same place.
I have water and food right next to her which I have seen her pick at on her own but she really goes at if if I'm holding it for her and talking to her. She's always very eager to eat and drink. I stop holding her food/water when she starts to dose off.
I give her frequent small meals in the morning and evening when I am home from work. I leave food in front of her the rest of the time.
She poops frequently. However, it's on the runny side. I have to scoop out her litter a lot.
My questions is: Do chickens with Mareks still function in almost every way but just can't move? I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong.
