1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) cochin standard 3 weeks she is a runt don't have weight
2) What is the behavior, exactly. she is not moving around anymore try to stands up but needs to use wing to stay up. so she quickly drops back down, still eats and drinks but won't go far to get them
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms? couple days
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms? no
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma. no but i think its leg got injured but no physical signs other then won't put weight on it
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation. she's a runt in a brooder with 3 other cochins and 3 austalorps whom are a few weeks older, they like to play and the runt might of gotten landed on or otherwise injured from the other chicks rough housing.
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all. drinks water if near by and eats chick starter feed when near by. i have also been feeding her some scrambled egg yolk once a day. in hopes the protein will help her heal
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc. completely normal
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far? I've seperated her and moved her into the house so the rough housing brothers and sisters don't hurt her again. and so she doesn't have to walk far for food and water.
10 ) 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? i intend to see what i can do to help speed up her healing.
11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help. i don't think its needed but ill capture one if needed
12) Describe the housing/bedding in use, pine shavings big brooder box, now separated in a cardboard box with pine shavings
anything i can do other then just make sure she's eating and drinking? is there some sort of device i can throw together at home to help her out? should i be adding anything into the water? is there anything else i should be feeding her?
she moved around just fine before this. and I've looked at the leg it all looks fine and you can even touch it without pain screams. but when she puts weight on it she doesn't like it at all. stretches out her wing and after a min just sits back down, she will move to food and water in a short burst but its a bit frantic and you can see it causes her pain. after the burst shell just sit there and not move again.
