She was pretty much the same. No worse but no better. I kept changing the water every hour or two to make sure it stayed cool and I put it inside the coop by her so she wouldn't have to walk much to get to it. I'm hoping it's just a pulled muscle or something and she'll be okay.
This is spice. She is an 8 month old mixed pullet. Yesterday she showed no symptoms of anything and then today she is unbalanced and panting. I first noticed something was up when none of the chickens were outside on this beautiful day. It's sunny and 80 degrees for the first time in a while! So...
Once she does pass definitely send her out for a necropsy so you can find out what they were. But for now maybe take her to a vet? If not just plenty of fluids and make sure she's comfortable
Raccoons can also behead chickens. I had one open the latch of my coop some how (I have trouble opening it some days) and beheaded one of the three chickens. It ran off with another and the other one just had its neck broken. So so so sorry for your loss I hope everything works out
I got my first eggs yesterday too! The brown one is a store bought egg but the two blue ones are from my Aracauna mixed. Not sure which one laid them but I'm happy. They are just under 5 months
I believe it's a hatching deformity. I don't really think there's too much for you to do. I'm not too seasoned so I'm sure someone has better advice but I would just keep it warm and make sure it gets plenty of food and water. Does it act any different from the other chicks?
I had 3 beautiful silkie pullets. I was super attached to them as one of them grew up a lone chick and then I hatched out two more. One of the two got a pretty bad case of wry neck but after a few months of constant care she finally got better. I finally moved them out to the coop and everything...
