New chicken in distress

Hi usualy chucks do that when they have an illness or are feeling under the wether  the others will know that she is like this and will have a go more than usual i usualy seperate mine untill she gets better and to prevent anything from spreding to the others,
if she is still eating then give her some chicken spice with her food if she stops eating for while you may have to take her to the vet  hope she makes a full recovery

So glad to hear she is improving. What is chicken spice, and what does it do??

Thanks for that Sassy. Do they eat it readily? Would it be any good to give to my three who are having a sulk due to their cockerel going? See 'concern over hens'. I am still having to lift them out of nest box and this has gone on for nearly 4 weeks now. they aren't broody cos they aren't laying anything. Just being sulky.

Sorry for the long delay but I've had a wicked cold, but the update on Korma's wellbeing is all good.  She spent 3 days in the bathroom listening to Classic FM lol, and I added poultry spice and Vermex pellets to her food and ACV to her water until she was happily rosey away. I then sprayed her with anti-peck and reintroduced her to the others. The next morning I noticed that she'd been pecked severely on her back (with blood drawn) so I sprayed the injury with Lincoln Purple spray and gave her another spray with anti-peck. I also took the ringleader away for a couple of days. Now that they are let out into the garden for most of the day they all seem to get along a lot better. Korma's back has healed and she's a happy chuck now!

Now I have a problem with Jerk, my Copper Black.  I noticed that when I threw wheat down she seemed to have difficulty picking it up. On closer inspection she seemed to be gasping for air. I've isolated her from the others (yes, dog crate, bathroom, Classic FM etc) and she is eating but her breathing has not improved over 2 days. On reading John & Cara Harrison's Backgarden Chickens book I think it may be bacterial so Jerk is off to the Vets. Hopefully he will put her right

I only got them 3 weeks ago, and they were fully vaccinated and I assume wormed as the supplier was very reputable. However the vet is prescribing Flubenvet which I am picking up tomorrow. I've got a new thread regarding this new problem under 'Chicken Chat' 'Sick Chicken - any suggestions?' as the vet wants to prescribe Baytril but I'm not too sure.
