    Chicken with large mass on belly

    UPDATE Hi All My girl is still hanging in there. She's eating well, drinking and pooping fine. She is standing much better than before. Unfortunatley the mass is still there but doesn't seem to be preventing her from standing or moving around. Something new that I have noticed is I believe...

    I'll try mixing it with her feed. She didn't really care for it on it's own, perhaps she'll like with her feed. Thanks

    I gave her some yogurt and she seem to really like it. She ate about 1/2 to 3/4 of a teaspoon. Had some water and talked a bit. I'll keep trying the yogurt. Thanks so much. I feel somewhat better that she ate a little something not sure if we will make any progress but I'll keep trying.

    Chicken with large mass on belly

    Thanks everyone for your thoughts and suggestions. It's so hard not to know what I can do for her. My animals are like my kids (the furry kind). I have 6 dogs, 2 chickens, 1 cocktail. I also worry about my other chicken that now is alone in the coop. Since I work during the day it's hard to...

    Chicken with large mass on belly

    It seems to be larger than this morning and inflamed, she's lost all her feathers in that area. It's soft but not mushy. I don't beleive she's eating anything at this point but feel she must be drinking otherwise she'd be extremely weak and she very alert.
