SO MUCH love to you! I am so sorry- there are no words to express how truly sorry I am.

Have you tried holding a warm compress to her eyes or gently rinsing them with a saline solution? If it's just one hen, it might be a combination of trying to recover from a disease (resting a lot) and an environmental irritant. Best...

I am sorry your hen is ill. At this point I think you should search the threads for more of the egg bound treatments, including what to do if the egg has broken inside of her... with eggs that massive, it sounds like it could be a...

Wow, congrats on the good news. If you ever figure out if she was bitten or what, please update this thread!

I'm sorry for your loss! Is there any way the chicken could have gotten a hold of moldy feed or something else "off"? When I hear "flopping neck" I think of botulism (in spoiled food), wry neck (lack of specific vitamins), or a...

Oh, how awful. I've not experienced it first hand but I found this thread: http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/201071/help-pullet-almost-drowned-what-do-i-do   I'd say give her time for the air sacs to dry out and for the shock...
