    Pnemonia

    It's better to have loved a hen and lost her than to have never loved a hen at all. Thanks so much to all of you for your help and concern. It means so much. Poor Annabelle died this afternoon so she is no longer suffering. She was such a special and one of a kind hen that touched my heart...

    I am going to have to try the coconut oil and massage again tonight as I am at work now. It still feels very doughy.

    I agree. She is so very weak at this point. At what point do you know it's time to stop the suffering? Nothing is improving and I don't know that she can last the 7 days it will take to treat a yeast infection. I wish I had started that a week ago. 💔 I feel like the trip to the vet and the...

    I read where you give the miconazole orally. What is the best way to do that exactly. I'm imagining a mess.

    Thank you so much! I completely agree about the vet. I felt more assured because he was familiar with birds. He raised chickens at one time and currently has a parrot, but still...I absolutely trust this group more. Having had 2 other hens with sour crop, this is different. I'm not saying...

    I saw that it was for skin infections too and wondered, though in other places it was listed for pnemonia. Thanks for the info about doughy crop. I will try the coconut oil!

    Thank you for your reply! Yes, her crop is still doughy. The vet didn't seem concerned about that. Said it was from the pnemonia. I am concerned though because I know it isn't right even if it is caused by pnemonia. I worried that she had aspirated too and that is how she got the pnemonia...

    Pnemonia

    Thanks for your replies! I first thought it was a sour crop and spent a couple of days massaging and trying to get something out of her. I had done that with a couple of hens before, but had no luck with Annabelle. It just feels doughy though which is different from other sour crop hens I've...

    My favorite hen, Annabelle, had pnemonia. I noticed last Monday she was a bit off and by Tuesday I moved her to the basement. Wednesday night morning we called out vet. I had never had any of our chickens to the vet before, but Annabelle is extra special and I wanted to take her. Our vet, as...

    Oh, and btw, she was walking like a chicken, just in slow motion.

    Lethargic chicken...what's wrong????

    Thank you boskelli. My poor girl is getting weaker now. She was out walking around Friday, ate a few bugs, and a worm. She was moving slowly, but she was moving. Saturday morning she could not stand up. She spent most of the day with her wing out and her head tucked under it. :(. I'm...

    Lethargic chicken...what's wrong????

    Hello, I have an almost 3 year old Buff Orpington hen that has been moving slowly for probably 3 weeks now. She looks a bit pale, walks slowly, hasn't laid an egg, and has really dark sticky poop that has to be cleaned off her back end. It looks normal on the poop chart...no visible worms...
