    Slow/Sour crop

    Yeah seems hard to get just right for them. I was able to get monistat cream(they were out of stock of the suppositories) and have been dosing her with that twice a day(cannot do more due to work really). She believes I have risen from the depths of you know where to torture her with giving the...

    Slow/Sour crop

    I would rather not as I don't have experience with it and worry about her aspirating. She was having horrible waste before.. think this may have been why I initially brought her in(did not know at the time and was doing ok after several days). After a little while she felt so much...

    Slow/Sour crop

    Thank you- I thought the same about it but I don't have any experience treating it. I do not really want to induce vomiting due to that-just feel very hard to have them vomit and not aspirate. Hard to get the timing just right I feel like! She probably has something else going on as well as she...

    Slow/Sour crop

    I have an ISA Brown hen-almost 3 years old. Brought inside a few weeks ago with unknown issue- has recovered well with some tlc until now. Believe she has a very slow/sour crop-it is very large and very squishy. She had fluid coming out of her beak when I put her on her side for a few minutes to...

    Ill chicken-shaking head sometimes, sounds a little wheezy, mostly urine only output

    Well I feel like the worst person ever...put her on her side to put ointment on her feet...more fluid came out and turned her upright so she could breathe..then after she stood a second it was like she vomited(I know they can't) but a bunch of fluid came out and I am worried she aspirated. 😭

    So she was doing much better and was going to put her back with other chickens. Her feet were a little irritated from flat floor of crate(have newspaper etc down of course) so I soaked them in epsom salt water and applied bacitracin with her on her side for a few minutes. Today I put her on her...

    Should I try the Baytril?

    Ok thank you. Will have to see if I can feel one of the others also. I wasn't sure if could be the lettuce or not. She is not eating or drinking enough. She did eat more today when I saw her after work so maybe feeling slightly better. Don't think her stomach seems enlarged.

    Her lower belly feels tight, not puffy. Pics attached of droppings. Green is lettuce from today I assume. One is dried more...and one she had just gone.

    Ill chicken-shaking head sometimes, sounds a little wheezy, mostly urine only output

    I was afraid of that since I have read that hens that are very productive layers have more issues as they get older. Is it all hens or just the ones who lay more than most others? I feel terrible for her. I will feel her when I get home but I would say she feels normal in front but would...

    Hi all. I have an ISA Brown- almost 3 years old who I originally thought might have a prolapsed vent from how she was acting. She was roosting on floor of coop-first night thought maybe she had straggled in too late and didn't get up when she had enough light left. I have brought her in- no...

    Prolapsed vent

    Yep, doing all of those things well and definitely ornery!! She just paces in the crate unless she is eating or drinking. She is so over being inside. Her breaks in the yard are not enough for her and she misses her sisters. How do you usually do your slow intro back? I have a couple ideas I may...

    Prolapsed vent

    Here are a few pictures. Top part sticks out more than bottom part.

    Prolapsed vent

    Will see if I can get a few good ones in a little bit. We are both over her being inside lol

    Prolapsed vent

    Top part of her vent still has not recessed any. She is getting stressed being crated. Ugh.
