    Show me your solutions for a muddy mucky chicken yard!

    I have tried so many things, but ours is on a slope. One would think that the water would run down, but noooo, it is a nasty muddy, mucky mess and anything that I put down runs down and compromises the strength of the walls. I'm at my wits end trying to figure something out.

    Hen going down hill fast after thinking she was egg bound

    The necropsy report came back: Bird had infected ovary and bacterial peritonitis. So I am assuming that the broken egg inside of her cause the infection.

    Since I am NPIP certified, they will do the necropsy for free. I will keep her cold (not frozen) and drop her off tomorrow morning. :'( She and her sister were our last addition to the flock (other hen a rescue hen). They were hand raised and their names were Sam and Ella (say it fast)...

    If she's going to pass, shouldn't I at least try? Or is it just too late? Dang it, I hate that she ate yesterday morning and then crashed so fast.

    She opens her eyes, but can't really stand. She lays back down and closes her eyes.

    Hen going down hill fast after thinking she was egg bound

    So I mixed 1.5 tablespoons of the tetracycline with a gallon of water, how much do I giver her? Also, I crumbled up the human calcium, do I put that in the water too? I've been giving her the liquids with a syringe, but I may have gotten some in her wind pipe this morning :(

    Attaching photo of what I have. I also have something called Carnivore Care that is used for tube feeding in raptor rehabilitation. I know she's not a raptor, but could it help? Attaching photos of what is in it.

    Hen going down hill fast after thinking she was egg bound

    She is on a heating pad now and I'll stop the bathing. I have no idea how to tube feed. I do have tubing in my first aid kit, just would need to know how. I have the calcium with D. However I do not have Baytril. I do have Tylan 200 and tetracycline Hydrochloride Soluble powder. Would either of...

    Hen going down hill fast after thinking she was egg bound

    My one and a half year old ISA was fine Sunday. Monday evening, I found her in a nest box. I thought she had gone broody, so I picked her up, but found her tail feathers down and no eggs under her. I came back an hour later to give her some Nutridrench and Pedialyte. When I picked her up, clear...
