Yikes! That might be what’s happening. Is there no way to tell if she’s laying internally or prevent it?

I went to get a video of her breathing, but she wasn’t doing it now 🤷‍♀️

She is only in the nest box an hour or so/day. This has been going on with no eggs for nearly two months, can they lay internally that long? No outward drainage, but I'll try to go get a video of the raspiness. Thank you!

Hello, I have a lavender orpington that is about a year old. She stopped laying eggs about 2 months ago, but was very consistent until then. She sits in the nesting box every day, just no eggs. She also has raspy breathing that I've treated with Vet RX off and on. It gets better, but always...

Thank you for replying! She hasn’t molted, the weather has been Kansas summer weather, there are 4 other hens with her and then the 4 added pullets. The other hens are laying fine. For a while, well the pullets were still under 20 weeks, I gave them all starter/grower feed. But for the past two...

My lavender Orpington is between 1-2 years old. She laid about 4 eggs a week, then stopped for the past 3 months when I added pullers to the coop. I thought she’d eventually get over the upset and start laying, but she hasn’t. She has always had a raspiness when breathing and sometimes she gets...

Fluffy the frizzle

Thank you! I read to put a crushed garlic clove in her water for A natural antibiotic. She would probably prefer the sugar water! I’ll try that instead.

Thank you for that advice! I’ll definitely look at Tractor supply tomorrow. So, you think it’s an obstruction and not vent gleet? Her vent is contracting a lot, too. And, she isn’t drinking. How do I get fluids in her?

This is my first experience with this. My young hen ( she just started laying last week) has blood, gunk, smell, and what looks like egg white coming out of her vent. I found her this morning after she had laid a bloody egg. I have her isolated now and soaked her in epsom salt (with lavender is...

Can anyone else verify these two (both about 13 was old) arecockerels and not pullets?

Ok, thank you! That was great advice!

We are still looking for a home for the 2 cayuga ducks. Are you still willing to take them? I'm pretty sure we have one male and one female. We just can't keep them in the suburbs where we are. I could meet you in Springfield or possibly Nevada, MO if you could get up that far?
