    Found 2.5 year old olive egger deceased in nest box

    The user name is because I had a rescue duck first. She was all by her self. Now its just the 11 hens and they aren't free range because of abundance of Hawks and other predators.

    Found 2.5 year old olive egger deceased in nest box

    There was bleeding but no signs of pecking. No eggs, and no sign of a lash egg. I feed them Kalmbach 17% protein layer feed as well as a separate dish of oyster shells and they get egg shell with hard boiled or scrambled egg a few times a week. The other hen who had the partial prolapse and is...

    Found 2.5 year old olive egger deceased in nest box

    Last night we found out 2.5 year old olive egger deceased in the nest box with what appeared to be a complete prolapse of her vent. She had been dealing with what I thought was vent gleet for a few weeks, and hasn't laid in a few months. I could feel no eggs in her. She was eating again and...

    2 year old olive egger prolapsed vent please help

    Shes a very sweet girl. She likes to sit on my shoulder while I clean their run. Thank you for the advice about the mineral oil! I will pick some up today and keep trying. I just hate seeing her so miserable. I also am sending a fecal sample in today too. Just to be sure all is well with that.

But both times after just a few seconds she strains and stands straight up in penguin stance until she forces it back out. She is extremely thin I can feel her keel and I don't feel any eggs or...

    2 year old olive egger prolapsed vent please help

    Thank you for the article. I will get some coconut oil right away thank you for that advice. I don't feel anything at all, and I was actually able to gently hold my hand against the tissue and the prolapse went in, but then she strained and it immediately came back out. I am giving her calcium...

    2 year old olive egger prolapsed vent please help

    After her last soak these fleshy pieces came off. There is no odor, but the other hens has a very foul odor and I'm wondering is she has vent gleet and these aren't related.

    2 year old olive egger had bruised vent and some bleeding. Not herself

    This is my second olive egger in just 2 weeks that has had a vent issue. I am not sure what's going on. They are in a flock of 12 hens, no rooster. They are all the same age. I've never had any health issues with them at all. They don't free range. Last week the other olive egger had a prolapsed...

    Could my duck have bumble foot?

    Sorry should have clarified, but yes, she's a house duck. We found her abandoned and now she is imprinted on us. Maybe it is the floor cleaner, I use swiffer wet jet daily and steam the floors weekly. I have been rubbing neosporin on the bottom of her foot but I will try the coconut oil. Thanks...
