    Seeking guidance for lethargic hen w/green poop!

    With that said though, so far my other girls have seemed ok, thank goodness! 🥹 I know they may have Marek’s and eventually it may catch up with them, but at least for now they seem ok! I’ll just love them for the time I have with them 😌

    So sorry for the delayed response here! I hope your chickie is ok? 🥺 Sadly the necropsy results for my hen showed that she had Marek’s disease 😔

    Regular sized eggs plus one tiny one?

    Interesting!! I haven’t heard of a fairy egg, so I’m curious to look that up. But I’m glad this is kind of a thing that just happens sometimes. Thanks for your thoughts, @Fluffy_Butt_Hutt and @Ridgerunner ! I appreciate your input 😊

    Regular sized eggs plus one tiny one?

    Any thoughts on why one of my hens randomly laid a tiny egg? I have 4 hens—one recently passed from Marek’s disease 😞, and one has also stopped laying. One of the ones who is still laying laid this tiny egg today, which is abnormal for her. The sizes are normally very similar each day. Could it...

    Thank you. And yes, I think I will go ahead and treat the others for lice/mites, just to be safe; thanks for confirming what I was thinking! And yes, I ordered a necropsy to see whether whatever was wrong with my sweet girl will affect the rest of my flock..I’m so anxious that it’s going to be...

    She didn’t make it..I had to put her down this morning, and the vet is going to do a necropsy to see whether the other chickens are at risk. Thanks for your support and advice, @Eggcessive , even if my girl didn’t make it 😔 I’m just grieving and processing now..

    It didn’t go well giving her the dose 😞 She fought so hard that it made it really difficult to give it to her, and now she’s coughing off and on and I’m wondering whether we got some in the airway after all. 😔 My neighbor and I tried so hard..I’m not sure whether the chicken is going to make it...

    That makes sense! K I’ll just add some to the syringe to get her some liquids! Will report back once I’ve given her a dose!

    Seeking guidance for lethargic hen w/green poop!

    Oh missed that thread so thanks for reposting! I’m not sure how much she weighs, so maybe I’ll just start low. And I was thinking of just diluting the poultry cell in the syringe with some water to make sure she’s getting water since she’s not drinking much?

    Ok I’ll try the poultry cell! I’m thinking I may need to syringe feed her the poultry cell, and I’ll add some water to it, since she’s not drinking much. (I’m nervous about it, but I think it would be most effective, and I’ve watched lots of videos and looked at lots of pics to make sure I get...

    That’s so helpful! Thank you, @Eggcessive ! I’ll try to give her some more water now! And I’ll do the same with the eggs and wet chicken feed too. Right now I just have a bowl of it sitting out for her, but I’ll do smaller fresh batches! And I’ll get some b vitamins too! I was wondering about...

    Update: she ate some eggs again this morning, but she looked so so tired, like she kept almost falling asleep as she sat there. I’m wondering whether she’s hydrated enough? Any thoughts, @Eggcessive ?

    Ok, it’s looking like there are lots of posts on this site about vitamins, but I haven’t seen anything yet about a general multivitamin of some sort? Recs?
