Help!!! Urgent!!
Our take
Oh no, feathered friends! It sounds like your little baby partridge cochin is in a bit of a pickle. Arriving healthy with her lady pals, she seems to be moving at a snail's pace today, though thankfully she’s still drinking water! You’ve got her on a solid diet of unmedicated feed with probiotics and electrolytes, which is egg-cellent. Plus, no pasty butt is a relief, but keep monitoring that little vent! The slanted brooder could be a factor in her sluggishness, so consider adjusting the setup if possible. With your attentive care and support, this little chick can get back to her cluck-tastic self in no time. Let's rally the community for some extra tips and encouragement!
 | This little baby partridge cochin arrived with two other ladies yesterday. Everything was fine yesterday. She still can walk around and drink water but she’s really slow. Vaccinated for mareks disease. Using nature serve unmedicated feed with probiotics + prebiotics. Also have one waterer with water and the other with electrolytes (strong animas first peep) No pasty butt, although I’ve been having to clean the three of them off yesterday and today as some was forming. But vent is clear! Also, brooder is on a slant. The back of it is very close to the ground. [link] [comments] |

- Update: Chicken still sick, can’t walk or stand. She can perchMy poor Pickles went to the vet, laid an egg, (I thought she was egg bound), she’s been getting around the clock care in quarantine, but she still can’t walk, she can perch on a dowel, but that’s it. She is eating at least one scrambled egg a day, not really drinking but if I string water over her beak she drinks. Her poops looked normal this morning, yesterday they were mixed, some normal, some watery. It’s been 6 days of this. WTH?? This is her little set up. Any ideas? submitted by /u/LemonyFresh108 [link] [comments]
- Help baby chicke nI volunteer at a place that has baby chicks, and the main bird volunteer is out of town and one of the babies is not doing well. This morning I found it on the bottom of the container with all the other baby chicks and it looked like it was dead, but it was moving a little so I gave it some egg yolk and Pedialyte mixed in a dropper and held it near the heater (not too close!) alternating betweeen heating it and heating it, for about 90 minutes. It had a lump on its chest, which I just learned is a crop. I had to leave for a while but is there anything I can try to purchase? I usually foster puppies and have lots of experience with sick puppies but none with birds. Please be kind - I am not knowledgeable but willing to read or learn to help until tomorrow when bird person comes back. submitted by /u/EmphasisFew [link] [comments]
- Please help!!My favorite hen peachy isn't feeling good. Her tail is bobbing and she's a bit lethargic. I examined her a bit and her crop is small and hard, she also started struggling to breath when I picked her up and tried to get away (this is the most cuddly chicken I've ever had she ADORES being held) I put her in the garage with water and the Internet told me not to give her solid food for 12-24 hours so I crushed up a boiled egg (without the shell) and gave that to her. I saw someone say online to feed a chicken with a bad crop some olive oil and massage the crop so I might try that tomorrow. I'm very worried about her she's one of my best friends honestly, she was the first chicken to ever run to me for cuddles instead of me having to chase or pick them up lol. submitted by /u/AdEnvironmental4177 [link] [comments]
- Is this chick alright?This batch of chicks hatched late February and are around 7 weeks old. I dont live at home but i come every weekend to take care of the animals and make my moms life a little easier. This is also our first batch of chicks ever (we’ve had chickens for over 11 years 😅 we got new hens last December after the old ones passed away) and they all seem to be very healthy except for this one. Its been about 3 weeks since i noticed her struggling to keep her balance and when she fell she sometimes had a hard time getting up and needed a helping hand to get up, she walks slowly and carefully, shes almost always shivering and is under the heat lamp the most. She does drink, eat normally and her poop also looks normal. And recently she hasnt been falling as often but she still seems to be really cold and we’ve done pretty much everything we can to make it warmer for her. submitted by /u/Separate_Regular259 [link] [comments]
