Will Someone Please Help Me?

My chicken is sick. How can I make it better.

 

[geepy]

What's wrong? What are the symptoms? What kind of chicken and how old?

 

[Sunny Side Up]

Give it some soup and give us more details.

If you really need help, give a lot more info and many of the great people on this forum will help. Just watch and see.

I'm not sure how old she is only to be able to say she is just a young chic. She has a hard time with standing and keeping her balance. She is also breathing heavy. She eats and drinks if I put it in front of her. Sometimes she will sneeze. She make a clicking noise with her beak. I'm sorry she's a cornishrock. Please help.

sounds like a respiratory issue maybe?? Does she have any drainage? You might be able to help her w/ some antibiotic in her water. When you say young chic you mean like weeks old or ???

 

[Lilytoes]

Yes, weeks old. I dodn't see any kind of drainage around her face or anything.

Mine was older when it happened but she had a respiratory infection and we got some antibiotic powder from the local feed store and she got better. She was doing the clicking noise and the sneezing and also would shake her head and clear liquidy stuff, kinda like drool, would fling or drool from her mouth! It was bad. She recovered though?? I would maybe call the local feed store and ask them if they have antibiotic or what they suggest. Hope she gets better.

Should she be able to make through the night you think. Because I go a soon as I ca in the morning. Will the rest of the chickens get it?

 

[Theapplechicks]

what mine had did spread. THe others didn't get as bad, but some of them did get it. I would maybe move her for tonight and just keep her warm. Even if the others don't get it, if she's that weak they may peck at her. ???
