egg bound? although laying hybrids can have many issues when they are over 2 years old. I think you are doing what you can. you can try to give her some yogurt for calcium and good bacteria.
how long has it been since she has laid an egg? Try giving her 1/2 a tums crushed in whatever she will eat, if she is egg bound calcium will help, so long as she is pooping that is goodYes, good idea. I have some kefir. I often give it to the chooks. The volume of fluid she is pooping is scary. I'm hoping that somehow the swelling is draining, but she looks so miserable,
Come to think of it, the fluid almost has the consistency of raw egg white. Maybe she is sort of egg bound after all?
Sorry you have had no answers. How is your little one? I know there are many opinions on this, but if the chick is not for a show flock, I'd give it a hand. If it doesn't make it, at least you tried? Hope all is well!
I'm sorry you are having trouble. Have you asked the folks on the incubating and hatching section for help? I would offer more advice, but I just really don't know.He got out but lost a few feathers. I'm not sure he'll make it.
It sounds like you are taking good care of her. A swollen hard abdomen can be an indication of internal laying/reproductive disorders like Peritonitis, Ascites, Salpingitis, cancer or tumors.Very swollen, Hard, Hot Abdomen UPDATE
Gave her Calcium/magnesium/zinc (only source of Calcium I had and apparently magnesium can help chooks pooh)
Still giving her colloidal silver 3 times a day.
Has shown interest in eating and definitely eaten some mash and seeds.
She tucked into a load of kefir (excellent source probiotic similar to live yoghurt)
She is drinking heaps - her water has added cider apple vinegar.
She has covered my living room floor with lakes of pooh.
She is looking more lively.
Now downstairs with the flock.
Moving slowly, but showing an interest.
Abdomen still very swollen but maybe not so hard.
