No other younger ones are exhibiting anything wrong? I'd almost have though coccidiosis but it's odd for an older chicken to get that, especially if a younger one didn't have it to spread. Her poops have been okay? Have you ever wormed them? I never have mine but if it's not coccidiosis...

So pretty. It'll be interesting what it looks like as an adult! You'll have to update us!

I would give her one of your Calcium +D pills. Try give it to her whole by opening her beak and setting it in her mouth. That will cause contractions so if she's got another egg also bound, she should expel it. If she doesn't, it won't hurt her. I hope she improves!

It's probably coming out of her vent due to the extra liquids in her. I would keep up the electrolyte water for another day and keep her at room temperature.

I would first give your hen one of your Calcium +D pills. Try get her to take it whole by opening her beak and setting it in her mouth. That will cause contractions so she should expel the egg or what's left of one. I would also give her a soak in warm Epsom salt water. That too may relax...

Fox can jump over 6' fences, but not get through a 3"x3" hole. They could if it was 4"x4". Mink or weasels could though.

If it's Cocciodosis, they can die quickly from that, so I'd stop the vitamins and give Corid. You can always make up the vitamins afterward. I'd give probiotics afterward too.

Hi, and welcome to BYC!! :frow You can feed baby bird or baby parrot food. Harris is the brand of baby parrot food we used. Did the Vet put her on E and selenium or scrambled eggs and B-complex? I hope she recovers!

No problem, many of us have been through these things and learned as we go. Just FYI though, a swollen eye isn't a symptom of coccidiosis either, but at least they got through it. Terramycin is for eye infections and that's what many of us would have suggested, after rinsing it with saline...

You've done some great improvements there to combat the raccoons. Do you have a camera on your board on the ramp? I think that would be funny to see the first time they touch that ramp!

Poultry Cell is one of the best, if not the best. You could stop the Corid as I'm not sure who told you to start it. It doesn't sound like they have coccidiosis. That's when they stand around listless, head down, with their wings out a little bit, and sometimes have blood in their poop. It...

I'm sorry, what is turf? Plastic grass comes to mind. You didn't mention what you're feeding them. If 12 weeks old, they'd still be on grower until they start laying/crowing.

Exactly what you said. Vitamin deficiencies can lead to all kinds of issues. Perhaps antibiotics may be needed if it is indeed a respiratory infection but most of the time my birds get over it themselves. They've had a sneeze or two here or there and I just give them vitamins and they get...

It's good she's on an antibiotic as aspiration can cause pneumonia. I don't think there's much you can do as she should absorb it in time and she should be fine. If you want to attach a video, you have to post it to another media place like YouTube, then copy the link here. If you feel she...

Sorry you lost your pullet. :hugs Are your chicks on starter/grower feed? It sounds to me like vitamin deficiencies are occurring. The rooster booster is a brand name. Which product are you using? We use Poultry Cell mostly, sometimes Nutradrench. Are all these chicks having issues 12...

Yes, it's very normal. Even after they are dry then moved to the brooder, they sleep a lot especially the first two days. At first, you'll think they died because they spread out on their bellies flat, so you'll look in the brooder and see all these flat bodies.

You don't need to change the temperature but I usually do take it down to 95F from 99.5 as the brooder starts out at 95F so it'll be the same. That's up to you. Most don't, but I leave mine in there longer than most I assume too. Pasty butt occurs usually because they get too hot. Make sure...

You don't need to turn them once in lockdown (the last 3-5 days before hatching). 62 isn't too bad. If you want to raise it a little, get a paper towel wet with distilled water, put it in like a shot glass, and set it in the corner of the incubator (out of the way in case they start hatching.)

I'm sorry nobody has gotten back to you. I've had a couple of chicks in the past with leg issues and with vitamin water (Poultry Cell) and either binding or a "shoe" made from cardboard have fixed them. If it's let go too long, it may not be able to be fixed. How is she doing now? If still...

I would try posting this in the Florida thread. Maybe someone there can help.
