Thank you.💕🥺 I'll definitely have to look in to that! We're headed to Tractor Supply later this week for some cattle panels. I'll look into it to have on hand. 😁 That's a really smart idea! I have a pill crusher that might work to crush the calcium citrate pill that has the vitamin D3 in it...

Thank you!💕 It's sad seeing a little creature be in pain. Especially one that you've watched grow up from a little fluffy chick.🥺 I definitely miss my Leeli, but I'm glad she's not in pain anymore!❤️

That makes so much sense! I always felt so bad for her because she would seem so confused and crying like she wanted help. But I guess she is just very happy. Haha! The Salmon Faverolle have a bit of a different voice too, so it sounds more complainy. Now anytime she screams like that I'll...

Mari layed an egg yesterday and her poo seems fine today so that's good! She has always complained a lot when she needs to lay an egg or she's hot or she's not happy. She was kinda making her "crying" noise with her tail down. She lays thinner shells in her eggs to, so I think she struggles a...

Alright! I watched a video of a lady doing it and so I tried that. Mari (the hen) gave me a hard time but then I got the hang of it and successfully gave her two pills! ☺️ I let her back outside now and I'm keeping an eye on her for a bit since she was panting inside. My mom went back out to the...

Hello again, @azygous! I'm not noticing any symptoms in one of my hens except for her tail is a bit droopy. I want to give her the calcium citrate pill to be on the safe side. You had mentioned you were going to post your favorite tutorial about feeding chickens pills. I'm not sure if it's on my...

We buried Leeli today in the backyard. We layed her in a little box and put a big stone above after we buried her. Leeli was such a sweet hen. She would ask for hugs and would cuddle under my arm. This bright and cheery hen will certainly be missed. 💕 July 19th 2023 to April 9th 2024

Thank you so much for your kind words! We've learned so much from these people kindly giving advice. I certainly hope that people can learn from this thread as I did.

Okay! Thank you so much! I was wondering since it was a huge pill but I won't be worried anymore. I'll give it straight to them! You have no idea how much you are helping. I'll definitely be careful to do it properly if I ever have to use a syringe again. I don't think I could have gotten...

I just realized the article that most helped was the one you had written @azygous. I was so busy I hadn't looked at who posted it, but I am so grateful for it. If it weren't for that article I wouldn't have asked my mom to get the calcium citrate at the store! I'm so thankful for your answers...

Thank you so so much! I don't know what I would do without this advice. Next time I see a hen acting at all the way she did I will give her the calcium citrate as fast as I can. Do you think it would be better for me to just feed the large pill to them whole? Or would crushing it, soaking it...

Thank you so much for your helpful reply! It means a lot to my family and I to know people are here to help and encourage us. That makes me feel a lot better that the supplements were fine. I'm glad it didn't cause anything bad.

I had also given her one drop of this in her Tums. I have one more question. We had gotten a huge 76 gram double yoke egg the other day. I wasn't sure which hen it was. It's possible it was hers. Do you think that this could have triggered an issue? Like maybe if it was her huge egg she used up...

Thank you all for your comfort.💕 I agree, I think she was so exhausted that she was even to the point she wouldn't even stand up to throw up. Then instead began to choke because she had no energy left to expell it from her mouth. Even after she layed the egg she didn't really change and perk...

Unfortunately Leeli passed away a couple minutes ago. She was fast asleep and suddenly woke up and began to throw up a lot. I think she may have choked on something when she threw up. I'm not exactly sure what happened or why. We tried everything we could. She was such a sweet chicken and I'm...

Yes! We'll definitely still keep her inside and monitor her. 😊 That's very useful to know about the poo to keep an eye on. Thank you so much for the information! I would have had no clue about the antibiotics. You have no idea how much this helps! 😭

Great! We'll do that! Thank you so so so much! I've been crying at the thought of losing my sweet little hen😭. I'm so glad for the help and encouragement! 💕

It's very squishy. It's definitely soft shelled. I'm so happy she layed it. What might the yellow stuff be if the egg it unharmed? Is there still more of the possible second egg in there? I'm confused because they have free choice microna poultry grit calcium and oyster shells in the run. So...

SHE LAYED AN EGG!!!!!!!! Thank the Lord!!

Thank you! Yeah she drank all of it thankfully!
