help!!!
Our take
 | Help! My chicken pop tart started showing weird symptoms today. One of her eyes will not fully open and she is wobbling and unable to walk straight. On top of that she is unable to eat (she tries but then drops it) but is drinking normally I’ve added probiotics and recover 911. I’ve noticed some drooling and also a small bump next to her nose which may be hard to see in the picture. I want to note that I bought her and her sister through an add on craigslist. After the 30 day separation for my original flock, i finally integrated them and they started showing signs of Coryza which then infected my initial flock. I’ve given them antibiotics for the past seven days to alleviate the symptoms and it helped all of my flock it seems. ***I do not plan on introducing any more chickens or selling my chickens given their sickness and I am not culling them unless they appear to be in extreme pain that I cannot fix.

- Help diagnosing sick chicken!Hi there, I found some green droppings that have been in my chicken coop for the last two days. I found out today who it was as the poor girl is puffing up a lot and is lethargic. I started her out with an Epsom salt bath while I did some research. I observed her crop was quite hard and started to massage the area while I put her into a brooder for some isolation. It did seem like I helped some stuff move along since her crop is no longer hard, and she has since had some more green droppings but is still puffed up. I am not so sure she has sour crop after all if she is able to pass droppings? .I am not sure what to do at this point but am concerned she is in trouble - any help would be much appreciated! I don't want to lose her :(. submitted by /u/Numerous_Actuary2770 [link] [comments]
- Update on sick chickenSo a couple days ago I made a post about my chicken being possibly sick but I wasn’t sure. So far she’s still alive and she’s pretty alert. She eats mushes poultry feed and drinks water, but she can’t walk. She also has a tough time trying to balance, like I notice we have to put her in a certain position for her to stay upright. When she tries to adjust herself, she uses her beak to kind of drag herself, if that makes sense? She still goes to the bathroom but she’s always sleepy. I don’t know why she can’t walk yet, I felt her legs and they are still warm. When we try to get her to walk she just cries and tips foward. It breaks my heart seeing her like this. Can somebody please help me find out what’s wrong with her? I’m trying to help her the best I can but I’m not sure how else to help her. My parents don’t know either and they kind of gave up on her but I haven’t. Please help! Ask me any questions and I’ll answer to the best of my ability. submitted by /u/Frosty-Drive3282 [link] [comments]
- Need help! Posting for my mom who doesn’t have Reddit8 year old Barred Rock. We found her still perched on the roosting bar this afternoon. My daughter went to check on her and she flew down then wobbled then loafed like this. I checked her legs and her feet they look fine. But I did discover she has pasty butt and is missing some feathers on her back side above her vent. She's still laying eggs, dining and eating. Isolated and does have a stinky smelling poop. What could this be and how do I treat it? I don't want to lose her she was my first chicken I got with my original flock. Her name is Poppy. submitted by /u/SpacialTsunami [link] [comments]
