Smart Feeder - Light sensor values

[siamang2]

Hi,

Charlie is only 2 years old, a Lohmans Brown hybrid and until this morning was full of live running around the garden, chasing the new girls and eating lots of food.

Today she wont come out of the eglu, is all hunched up and isn't interested in flapping or anything when I pick her up.

She has also had yellow diahorrea.

 

I had another chicken who exhibited these syptoms in the summer who died overnight, I just thought she had a softie but it turned out to be something more.

 

Is there anything I can do or I should I just let nature takes it course?

[The Dogmother]

You really ought to get her to the vet pronto.

 

Do you have any Avipro or similar? If you do, then drip feed it into her beak for as long as she will take it.

If things haven't turned round in the morning I would take her to the vet she may have a broken egg, infection or something that can be helped. I wouldn't just leave her to suffer.

[Powerlady]

Agreed, she needs a vet asap..can you get her in today? Fingers crossed she will be ok.

[BocBoc]

How is your girl? Did you get in at the vets?

[siamang2]

I took her to the vets, however she was very weak and on the way there she suffered a heart attack I think because there was a bit of commotion in her box but when we arrived she had died.

 

I asked the vet to do a post mortem as this is the second chicken I have lost in this way in the last two months and I would like to know if there is anything I can do if it happens again.

 

Sad times.

The vet just rang and said she had egg peritionitis. He said there wasn't much yolk but definitely signs of peritionitis and no signs of any other infections. He did said there wasn't anything else I could have done to have helped her.
