Young chicken limping and not eating or drinking.

[blakeee]

I haven't seen her poop yet. I'll go outside and see if there's any where she has been laying.

Shes a pretty bird i can see why you wouldn't want to lose her..if shes eating and drinking water those are good signs...Is she pooping?

I can't see any poop where she was laying but it was in dirt so it could be covered.

I'm in Australia so it's a little difficult for me to find treatments that are used in America and other places. What does it mean if she hasn't pooped?

I buy her food from a local feed store. They don't have a lot of stuff though. I think I'm going to call the vets. They might have something I can give her.

Thats probably a good idea..you can put a little sugar in the water it will help give her a boost also maybe give her some scrabbled eggs for extra protein mealworms are a good treat to.What do you feed her?

Okay, I will put sugar in her water. I'm giving her pullet grower and a seed/grain mix. They have free reign of the yard so she eats many grubs too.
