[31322]

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
Rhode Island Red, about 1 year, same weight as others.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
Sitting. She is eating but I'm not sure about drinking because I have a nipple waterer she would have to stand to use.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?
Going on day 3.
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms?
No
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.
No
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.
No. I keep to a routine and a schedule. All the chickens' activities are the same every day.
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.
Eating. Not sure about drinking.
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.
Watery. No blood. No stringy things, just grainy beige which looks like her food.
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?
I haven't done anything hoping she would improve and not wanting to make matters worse by guessing.
10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?
I can't go to a vet because of the Coronavirus. I am 71 and at risk.
11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
I will try to take photos in the morning.
12) Describe the housing/bedding in use
Clean pine shavings. Every morning I remove all waste matter from the bedding and apply a fresh top layer. The coop and run are also raked clean every morning. PLEASE help. I love my chickens and they give me much joy.

Can you remove her and separate her where she cannuse a water bowl and try to get her drinking. If she hasn’t been able to reach water for 3 days, she is surely dehydrated. You can also give her water mixed into her chicken feed in a small bowl. Does she hold up her sore leg, or is she putting some weight on it? An injury may be possible, such as a sprain. Is there any redness, green bruising, or swelling of the leg? Are there any scabs on the foot pad that might be bumblefoot? Was she vaccinated for Mareks disease?

I did an inspection and she is egg bound. I put her in a pop up run with food that I enriched with calcium by grinding some calcium pills, adding the powder in and lightly mixing it into some food with enough water to get it to stick. She had a 15 minute epsom salt bath in very warm water. She is eating and drinking. At various points in the afternoon she was standing up. I will repeat the full treatment described here tomorrow. Please let me know if there's anything I missed. (There is no prolapse.)
