I have tried so many things, but ours is on a slope. One would think that the water would run down, but noooo, it is a nasty muddy, mucky mess and anything that I put down runs down and compromises the strength of the walls. I'm at my wits end trying to figure something out.

The necropsy report came back: Bird had infected ovary and bacterial peritonitis. So I am assuming that the broken egg inside of her cause the infection.

I will share the necropsy report when I have it back. Thank you all for your help, support, and sympathy.

Since I am NPIP certified, they will do the necropsy for free. I will keep her cold (not frozen) and drop her off tomorrow morning. :'( She and her sister were our last addition to the flock (other hen a rescue hen). They were hand raised and their names were Sam and Ella (say it fast)...

She just passed. :'(

If she's going to pass, shouldn't I at least try? Or is it just too late? Dang it, I hate that she ate yesterday morning and then crashed so fast.

She opens her eyes, but can't really stand. She lays back down and closes her eyes.

She is on a heating pad now and I'll stop the bathing. I have no idea how to tube feed. I do have tubing in my first aid kit, just would need to know how. I have the calcium with D. However I do not have Baytril. I do have Tylan 200 and tetracycline Hydrochloride Soluble powder. Would either of...

My one and a half year old ISA was fine Sunday. Monday evening, I found her in a nest box. I thought she had gone broody, so I picked her up, but found her tail feathers down and no eggs under her. I came back an hour later to give her some Nutridrench and Pedialyte. When I picked her up, clear...

And this is what happens when you leave the treat bucket lid off....

I stumbled across this thread this morning because I have a hen with a swollen abdomen. I have been reading for hours and have learned a lot. My hen is not a hatchery hen that I know of. We got her at an auction last year. She is a Kelso game hen who was giving me maybe an egg a day. One of the...

This is hard for me too because it is sooooooo much corn! But for such little benefit in protein, I don't see the risk being worth it.
