    URGENT - Crop issues it has been over 2 weeks and chicken is getting so light

    Summary so far: We think that she is acting more energetic and the poops have definitely improved since before we started the antibiotics. We are hopeful, but still understand that with the small penny sized lash egg and the fact that we waited so long to start the amoxicillin antibiotics, the...

    Wyorp Rock, Yes, they have access to grit and also oster shell for calcium. Yes, but only using the 1 dose every 10 day method, we need to do the whole flock again with the once every day for 5 days. Or use a different 1 dose de-wormer. Update May 10: Gave BB 250mg amoxicillin in the...

    URGENT - Crop issues it has been over 2 weeks and chicken is getting so light

    Hi Wyorp Rock, Thanks for the response and extra details. I did not think about the "lima bean" being a lash egg or similar related thing. I thought it was just impacted or undigested food, but that makes more sense. 3/9 update: Morning crop still hard and full Chicken still has energy...

    My hen was attacked by a hawk, I need help determining if intestines are exposed where skin is missing. (graphic image)

    We are not putting ointment on her anymore. We are just monitoring the last wound spots for now. So far she is getting along well and the ointment was making her feathers sticky and matted down. We do not see any signs of infection and healing is still going well. She is back to normal in the...

    Update, she is doing well. We think she is eating and drinking on her own now. When we check on her there is fresh poop to be cleaned. She is very energetic and a bit belligerent now. She demands to be let out and wants to go home! Still keeping her isolated till the butt wound is less of a...
