Updating for educational purposes maybe. Mites are gone. Head isn’t swollen anymore and the scabs are looking ready to fall off in maybe a few more days. I’ll be out of town for a week so my friend will be taking over the hen’s care. I am concerned how her eyes turn out once the scabs fall but...

thank you so much! You absolutely rule!

😢 I hope I can help her but there are 0 vets that specialize in poultry medicine in my area.

Hello folks! I made a post a few days ago and I didn't have a ton of information to go off on since it was my dad's hen and I only visit once or twice a week. Previously, I wrote about the hen's head being swollen, one eye being shut completely, and bleeding ears. She was still eating and...

Hi everyone! I’m sorry I don’t have any photos of our poor girl since she belongs to my parents and they don’t know how to text anything, but I’ll do my best describing the issue. I visited my parents yesterday and her face was in pretty bad shape. They said it started three or so days ago on...

Thank you, I’ll try that. She’s so stubborn I hope this helps.

A lot of these answers are not helpful at all. I mentioned that I can’t hold her tight in any circumstances because she will start wheezing.

Hi everyone! The heavy rain in California did a number on two of my hens. The vet gave me antibiotics in pill form and anti-inflammatory liquid. One of my hens is pretty easy going and took both meds well. I just syringe feed it to her slowly on the side of her beak. She’s doing great now. The...

Update! So yesterday I rushed her back to the vet because she had bloody stools. The vet took stool samples for testing and gave me more antibiotics and to continue with anti inflammatory meds. Her poop looks way better now, a bit runny but that’s expected with the medication, and is eating and...

love you guys! will do

Yes probably. I’ll let her sleep poor girl probably didn’t sleep a lot the past few days too.

hello everyone so I took my hen to the vet on Sunday because I noticed that she was having a really difficult time pooping and it was becoming harder and harder for her to push out anything solid. The vet today said that the stitch was too tight and he recommended to take it off because the...

Gotcha! I’ll go back and post the update there. Looks like she’s getting sleepy. Is that good?

Oh my God thank you Aaron! Yes she’s eating and drinking up a storm. Yet I’m still concerned. I have her in the small crate I’ve been monitoring her in since Thursday night and she gets to eat all her crumbles without bullying her flock lol. She does have a follow up with her original vet who...

Hi everyone, so I made a previous post about my chicken having a prolapse after an extraction of a bounded egg. So to backtrack my vet did surgery on my hen, but I think the stitch was too tight. She did tell me to takeoff the stitch if she couldn’t poop anymore and she did struggle quite a lot...

Thank you so much! I hope I won’t have to do that at all and she can make it till monday

OMG thank you so much that’s really helpful. She did instruct me how to snip the stitch and was extremely helpful. So far Things are looking good there’s no egg, I accidentally did keep her in the dark for a bit just to keep my cats away from looking at her all the time. So I think that worked...

Hello everyone! My little blue old english hen is about 3 years and she’s not the most active egg layer. Recently though she had low calcium and the vet found a soft egg stuck inside. She took it out, gave me antibiotics and anti inflammatories and things were looking good. The next day she had...

thank you 🙏 I’ll keep an eye out and hopefully they get better. This mama hen is not the best but she tries lol
