me too. I had spent so much individual time with her over the last 6 weeks it feels like I lost my little buddy.

thank tho so much. I will post the findings.

yeah that’s what I understand. thank you for sharing all your knowledge with me! it helped keep her going a little longer. I am bringing her in for a necropsy and really curious as to what the findings will be.

thank you! it’s alright. I think she was suffering for a long while (and hiding it for a bit) and it was just her time.

we got her into the vet. they gave her fluid and antibiotic injections. not 10 minutes into the car ride home she seized and died. I fully expected her to die at home today, but I didn’t expect THAT right out of the vet’s office. RIP Midnight.

thank you. I don’t have any antibiotics here. I’m trying to get in touch with a vet that could see her today. I was able to get her to eat a bit of yogurt and electrolyte water, that was it. yeah she looks terrible.

I didn’t know about that. she is no longer active though. laying in one spot with eyes closed and beak open panting with each breath.

this lady had a thing in early June for about two weeks where she was lethargic, pale comb, not laying, sort of acting egg bound. @azygous walked me through the calcium protocol for egg binding which was a great help. I never did see an egg while she was separated. she seemed to bounce back and...

fecal was negative no parasites no eggs. it’s 4pm, I just got home after a few hours out. her crop feels empty and her comb is starting to look pale. I saw her eat this morning, but obviously she’s not eating enough and something is still ailing her.

thanks for this info. I saw her eating some watermelon and pecking at the wet mash I gave her. the fecal sample is in so I should have at least some more info tomorrow.

I got in touch with a local vet, they will run a fecal for me after I drop off a sample today.

how is that done? I took her out of the run and got her to eat a bit of yogurt with electrolytes again. she hopped off my lap and just moseyed herself across the yard back up to the coop. now she’s laying there looking not great. she pooped on the way. I have the pen set up for her in the garage...

she had a pretty normal day yesterday out with the flock, now this morning we’re back to this. she still hasn’t laid and now this morning she hasn’t eaten. ugh I wish I could help her

ok, thanks for this. wow nine days! I just decided to bring her back outside so she can get the flock interaction and hopefully regain her place as top hen. I saw her eat and drink and peck around a bit, and she’s perched alongside the others in the run as they like to do every morning. I’ll...

there are some fresh poops, but no egg!
