Thanks for the information everyone. I've wondered about internal laying issues, and she may very well have them since she hasn't laid in so long, but her abdomen isn't distended like it usually is with internal laying. It's still a good possibility. She may very well have worms then. I don't...

My hen took ill last night. She was huddled in a corner of the coop with her eyes closed and feathers fluffed. I took her inside and got her to eat and drink a little bit. She had yellowish-green watery poo all night but ate a little oatmeal this morning. I checked her crop, and it was very...

I'm sorry to hear about your rooster. It sounds like it's going to be really hard to get him to drink. The only other way to get water down him that I can think of is to dribble it down the side of his beak. You won't be able to get him to drink much, but at least it will be something. Can you...

Quote: Thanks, I hope so too! I'll be careful. She's one of the calmer hens, so I should be able to pull the plunger back easily without her putting up a fuss.

Quote: Thank you for the dosage, I will try and do the full 4 days. The hen in question hasn't laid for over two months, has a very red, swollen abdomen (relatively hard, not squishy), and has recently developed breathing problems and has become increasingly lethargic. After doing some...

I ordered some Pro-Pen-G Penicillin the other day and wanted to know what dosage I should give an 8 pound hen. The bottle says 1 mL per 100 pounds body weight--this is roughly 1/10 a millileter for an 8 pound chicken. Does this dosage sound correct? Also, for how long should I give it to her...

Quote: UMMMM. Is this their very first experience with roos? If so.......overly tightly wound spinster virgins? Sorry, couldn't resist. I got nothin....... Never run into that one before. It's a possibility, I suppose I've been trying hard to remember, but now that I think about it I don't...

Quote: Okay, if you're sure. They're yours if you reconsider. we could have them settle some were, like in a mountain Hm, a mountain would be nice. There's no water there.

Quote: What?! That's too bad, I know a lot of people enjoyed that thread. Quote: Thanks, BirdNut. It's just not like me to leave people hanging in the middle of something, which makes me angry at myself. Thanks for asking, I'm doing great! Busy, but great. I'm finally getting to study...

Quote: Hey chickendiva How've you been? Hm, that's a very good question. If people are still interested I can keep it open--I can find some time to squeeze in the contest judging.

Quote: Sorry, MH! I see you have a golden-feather membership now, congrats!
