I hope so. Frank had a problem with worms and I treated them all. He seemed really sick after the treatment but came around again and has put some weight back on.

That's great that Frank recovered from the worming. Fingers crossed that my sick chick will recover too. She's now standing unaided, but eyes closed and head tucked.

Please let me know if you think I should skip a day with the worming. Today will be Day 3.

I would if it were me. She could be having a bad time with it.

Many thanks KB. I may not have to. She was doing so well, but took a turn for the worse and is lying down now, and not eating/drinking. She hates it when I try to syringe liquids in.

Oh dear. Maybe the worms just took too much out of her. Try some yoghourt?

Thanks for the ideas. I have kefir, and scrambled egg would be great too. I did syringe a little pedialyte a while back and she ate a few seeds.......

Oh I'm sorry. You know you did your best for her. Most chickens don't get that. :(
