This has been going on for a year. When she’s standing and during the day she is fine. They all have been on tylan for mycoplasma. For a few years. She is seven, not laying eggs. She has been confirmed to be done for good. During the day she eats, chases, treats and is her feisty self.
Only at...
Hen that’s been sneezing, and breathing heavy. She was eating until this morning. Now she won’t eat even mealworms. She is drinking normal, flew out of my arms and ran from a rooster. She has a weird sound when she breaths in. Almost sounds like a raspy whisper. She is six and crown, wattles...
Sorry. What I meant by done laying is henopause. It’s been confirmed. Light combs keels too close for an egg to go through, etc. her abdomen doesn’t feel squishy but when she gets stressed it gets hot and firm where her stomach is. Before giving her tylosin, she did have mucus in her poop. Her...
Six year old hen that is done laying, sneezing, raspy breathing, breathing heavy. The breathing heavy mainly happens when she lays down, only sometime while standing. They were diagnosed with mycoplasma at two years old but symptoms only started showing a month ago. Or at least I hope that’s all...
I have a hen who looked healthy but hasn’t eaten too much. She’s six years old. This morning I found a soft shelled egg (that the chickens already devoured) with this bloody stuff in it. I have gotten soft shells before, just not like this. She still eats some treats and applesauce. I gave her...
So I'm thinking it was mainly constipation. Gave her applesauce and gatorade, the next day she started to slowly get back to her normal self. I have yet to see her poop but It may just be a timing thing. She ate some treats, drank a lot of water, and even started pecking the others again. (She's...
Yes I do have one an hour from here. It cost $150 just for the visit, the hand up her traumatizing her (I'll never forget the wide eyed look), and the medicine. With everything I'm dealing with right now, I would not be able to afford that type of thing.
Okay. Just making sure. Obvious some stuff is digesting but everything else seems to be going wrong so I wanted to be sure that it wouldn't be an egg thing.
Thank you. My mom was a nurse. She had copd and emphysema and got double pneumonia. I'm just mentioning that cause I find it ironic. But yeah I was thinking that but didn't want to assume and make things worse.
I'm also wondering if it could be stress related. Tonight I saw her poop a little but I can't tell if she's losing weight or just feathers. I've been spraying them with mite spray but don't see any. She also finally laid down on the perch. Near where her keel is has feathers missing and around...
Yes I did for a week. And he said there was barely yolk left in there. After a week of giving her the meds she started acting weird. I thought she was egg bound but clearly not. She either lost weight or feathers but just ate some corn and stopped. She drank a bit too but not much.
Hey guys it's me back with ANOTHER issue with the SAME hen. A couple of weeks ago she had an egg break inside her no shell just a little fluid. Went to the vet, got her some meds. Started doing well the 5 days ago stopped eating and drinking on her own. Yes, I didn't the whole egg binding check...
SORRY FOR THE LONG POST BUT ITS URGENT. NEED HELP. So, I had a hen who had an egg break inside of her last week and took her to the vet. He gave me antibiotics to give for 3 weeks and meloxicam to give for 5 days. The meloxicam was up Monday. My mom had passed away so I couldn't keep her...
