My Journey in Caring for a Sick Chicken

in ASEAN HIVE COMMUNITY12 days ago

I never imagined how much my six chickens would become a part of my life. At first, they were just a few birds in the backyard, but now, they’ve become a daily routine, and honestly, I can’t get away from them. Every morning, I’m greeted by their cheerful clucks and flapping wings as they eagerly wait for their breakfast. They’ve developed unique personalities, and I’ve started to recognize each of them by their little quirks.

One is always the first to run to me, while another loves to peck around for hours in the garden. It’s amazing how these simple creatures can bring so much joy and calm to my day. Despite the occasional mess or their endless need for attention, I’ve come to appreciate how they’ve become a part of my life. Chickens may seem like a lot of work, but the bond we share makes it all worth it.


When one of my chickens got sick, I was immediately filled with worry. It was hard to see it not being its usual self, and I knew I had to act quickly. I decided to quarantine the sick chicken from the others to prevent the illness from spreading. I researched what could be wrong and started giving it the appropriate medication. It was my first time dealing with a sick chicken, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I knew I had to do everything I could to help.

I spent time learning about common chicken diseases and their treatments. I also learned about the different medications that could help my chicken recover. It was a bit overwhelming at first, but the more I read, the more confident I became in my ability to care for my chickens. I made sure to follow all the instructions carefully and monitor the chicken closely.

After a week of treatment, I’m happy to say that my chicken is doing much better. It’s back to its normal self, running around with the others. I’m relieved and proud of how I handled the situation, and I now feel more knowledgeable about chicken care than ever before.

its very nice to have more chicken in the backyard, but it needs a proper shelter, its sad for what happened to your chicken and you learned now on how to taking care of them. I have also native chicken here but they are resilient and resourceful, yet reliable source of food and income.

I need to build a proper chicken coop but am struggling financially. I'm trying to manage costs effectively while ensuring the chickens have a safe, comfortable environment. Additional funds would help improve the setup.

You have a big heart for taking care of the sick chicken but in our belief we dont take care or give medication to sick animals because we believed that it is a good way sickness goes to animals not to humans.

I learned about chicken medication from YouTube, watching various videos that provided valuable information on treatments, dosages, and health management, helping me understand how to properly care for my chickens' well-being.

I understand this feeling. We are also taking care of chickens (we have some), and we always pay attention to how they feel or if they are sick. Keep it up! 👍
