Nature Chick Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi everyone A friend of mine has a girl who is under-the-weather and we would really appreciate some advice: Buttercup was a bit slow this morning coming out of her house and is now drinking lots and seems to be doing very watery droppings We think that her crop is quite full of water (this is over the 'phone to a worried chickie mum!) Any advice would be gratefully received - I can supply some ACV and Nutri-drops but any other tips would be good. Thanks S x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 It could be any number of things really. Is she laying? What is her vent like? How long has she been ill for? She sounds like she may be best of taking her to see a vet to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nature Chick Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Thanks Chucky Mama My friend said he only noticed her looking uner-the-weather this morning and that she had a clean bottom - I will ask him to call his wife back to check on eggs/vent etc. I should have added that Buttercup is an ex-batt.

Nature Chick Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Buttercup's mum is going to take her to the vets asap (hopfully this evening) but I am going to pop round and give her some nutri-drops to try and give her a boost.
