hotdog Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hello everyone. I hope someone can help. One of my chickens has been unwell since the weekend. She started off looking fed up with a drooping tail and hunched up. She was still drinking but not moving about at this stage. I brought her inside on Monday. She is still sat, tail down and fluffed up. She has a very red 'undercarriage' and looks rather bald underneath. She has has an upset tummy - white and dark green poo but this seems to be getting better. She sleeps a lot of the time and isn't moving around at all. I'm syringing probiotic yoghurt and water down her regularly and she will drink when I put her beak in the water. She has been wormed recently. Any ideas anyone ? This seems to be going on for too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Have you checked for lice and mites? What wormer did you use. It might be worth doing again using a different one. Have you listened to her chest by placing an ear along her back? Is it rattly or wheezy? TBH as she has been ill for 5 or 6 days and has not shown signs of improvement despite your best efforts, I would take her to the vet.

Biker Betty Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 This is going to sound like a very funny question but is she walking like John Wayne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
