tidygirlsuk Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I've been chook watching a lot today and all seemed well. After I had my evening meal I looked out and my Pekin Cockerel was on his back and very wet from the rain. I thought that he was dead. I went out and he was still moving. I picked him up and wapped him in a towel and bought him in the house. He is eating from my hand and drinking. The only visable symptom is that his body feels thin. I did health checks on all my birds last week and he wasn't this thin. I've put him in sick bay. What could this be ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Has he been wormed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidygirlsuk Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 I wormed them at the start of the month but I have had concerns that not all of them are eating it. My cockerel lets the girls eat first. I was thinking of changing to a wormer that you can add to water rather than a pellet wormer. What do you think ?

Chucky Mama Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 oh no, I am sorry to hear this, I have only just seen your post . He may have been poorly and the wet pushed him over the edge maybe with hypothermia. What is the wormer that you have been using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
