52fish Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Would welcome suggestions.... One of our Faverolles has a runny bottom and either can't or won't get up. It's currently "slouched" in a corner and refusing to move. Would comment suggestions on what to do. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uma Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Hi there, Have you had a look at her vent to see if there is anything stuck there? How is her tummy feeling-does it feel like it is swollen/could be peritonitis? How does her crop feel? Has she been eating and drinking? Can you get her to a vet?

Luvachicken Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Hope your chicken gets well soon. Going to the vets is the right thing to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gongladosh Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Good luck, though sadly I would be suspecting Peritonitis, poor thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uma Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Good luck for the vets! Do you have any poultry drops? If so I would give her some of those which can really help. Uma x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky Chooky Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Poor chook. How did you get on at the Vets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueChick Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Check out my post on lame chicken/calcium deficiency if the vet rules out anything more serious. My ladies couldn't get up and had very runny poos - I gave them extra bird grit and limestone flour and it jus cleared up the next day like magic. Hope this helps.
