Her crop is good, it does empty every night, poop seems to be normal. I have notice she doesn’t do it every time right now, before antibiotics she was. And before her comb was pale, now it’s nice and red.
Okay, I have a hen that’s been having water come out after she drinks, she’s laying, eating, doesn’t act like she sick at all. I thought maybe a bacterial infection, so I put her on antibiotics for 10 days, no sign of her doing it, now she’s been off antibiotics for 5 days, and I noticed she...
So last night one of my hens was having a late egg lay before dark, and I noticed she was eating her oyster shells, which is normal, she did drop her egg last night on the coop floor, but this morning she still wasn’t herself. I felt her crop and it’s gritty, not super full, under half but I...
Yeah I’m hoping so also, right know she seems back to normal, and is interested in nesting, but not like she use to be yet! I’m watching her like a hawk and making sure she gets everything she needs. If she lays that would be wonderful for her, me I’m okay if she doesn’t, I know the people I’ve...
Yes, she was laying these pus eggs all day, after day 5 on the antibiotics it was only morning in her nest. So far none has been seen in nest, and through out day! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that she keeps excelling and keeps eating well. It was a lot of work, took a lot of extra time, but...
so I found out my girl JoJo had Lash! Was very fearful of the out come, they say 2% chance of curing it! When I found out the first thing I did was get her on antibiotics (enrofloxacin) 10 days, noticed she wasn’t drinking water so I made her drink many times a day out of a sryringe (vitamin and...
Thank you coach 723 I will try that, at this point I will try anything, she does eat a little still, but mainly bugs and worms and soft veggies, like cucumbers and corn and watermelon, to me anything is better then nothing. Thank you Little Creepers, prayers always helps.
She is 2/12 years old, the last time she layed was 3 months ago, she started molting, which was just here and there, so of course I assumed that’s why she isn’t laying. He didn’t do any testing, I’m from Moses Lake wa, and vetsthat know about chicken a next to nothing, he did think by her fecal...
my hen JoJo has been sick for weeks, she’s lost a lot of weight, took her to two different vets, she been on antibiotics, first I thought maybe worms, nope, then an impacted or sour crop, nope, know I’m wondering if it’s her gizzard, I’ve been doing olive oil two to three times daily, she...
my head peck hen Sassy was found in the run late this morning, dead on her back, rigamortis already set, no signs of animal attack, (run is completely safe) no neck broken, nothing, like she just fell over backwards and passed away, she has been fine, eating, just finished her molting, and she...
So I have a hen that started molting the first part of June, she’s 2 yrs and it’s her first molt, she’s not losing any more feathers but she is taken a really long time to grow them back, she didn’t get bald or anything, mainly the feathers underneath she lost, so my question is she is walking...
I just changed all the straw and I keep clean pine shavings in there also and I sprayed down the whole coop with vinegar and lavender oil 3 weeks ago, there coop is 3 ft off the ground and attached to our shed. I did check to see if there were mice holes through the straw but didn't see...
