    I did something really stupid re: sour crop

    I Would not turn her upside down as you can kill her accidentally. It happens. I would go to the health food store and get a really high quality probiotic and mix it with plain yogurt and a little olive oil. If she won't eat it give it to her via syringe very carefully. You can then massage her...

    I did something really stupid re: sour crop

    She made it! She seems to be out I danger. She is eating on her own and drinking as well. She even laid an egg last night! I truly thought she was a gonner. Here is what I did: Scrambled egg with kefir mixed with a very potent probiotic from a capsule with olive oil and today a little coconut...

    Mama hen with single duckling - is she showing it food/water?

    Thanks for the reply. She is super attached to her mommy hen. I have them on non-medicated organic feed and I supplement them every day with egg yolk which I understand has the needed niacin. She is developing quite well. She is a call/runner cross..

    Mama hen with single duckling - is she showing it food/water?

    Thank you both. She is being a great mama. The other hatchlings did not make it. Two died trying to hatch and the rest just never hatched. I put three ameraucana bantams under her at night and she took right to them. Now I have a single duckling. Not sure what I am going to do with him/her yet...

    I did something really stupid re: sour crop

    Well the punctures were very, very tiny. But the bleeding beneath thre skin really freaked me out. It was so full of air I thought for sure it would deflate. I do think it did deflate a little but I hope I did not destroy her crop. I am just so worried right now.

    It was in her shoulder area and very definitely coming from her crop.

    I did something really stupid re: sour crop

    Well, it was actually her crop i was seeing but it seemed like it was on her back because it had become so bulbous. It was actually her very inflated crop if that makes sense.

    I did something really stupid re: sour crop

    Hey there. I came home today to find one of my little hens with this big bubble on her back. I brought her in and tried to do some research but I was panicked and so ended up doing something stupid. I tried to puncture the bubble to relieve the pressure. I used a sterile syringe and poked a few...

    Mama hen with single duckling - is she showing it food/water?

    Hey there! Been a long time since I have been here but I am needing help. I have a little Cochin Banty that has been sitting on duck eggs for a while. One of them hatched early, about 26 days I believe. The others have not hatched yet and today today is the 28th day. I have been leaving them...

    swollen back-end, ascites? peritonitis? **Saw Vet - Post #4**

    I would definitely keep her in until she is completely healed.

    Help! Two have died, third is on it's way out the door!

    How is your brooder set up? Could they be too hot or cold? Sometimes a few just don't make it and you never know why. Vry sorry!

    Feather eating?!?

    This happened to me. I stopped it by giving them extra protein like tuna, hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese and yogurt. I also put a product I got from Murray mcmurry called Avia Charge 2000 in their water. Worked wonders!

    My chicken is really poorly, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    If you see worms then I would think that is absolutely what is causing this. It needs to be treated asap. Do you have a farm store near? They usually have wormers there. She needs something immediately. Also you need to bring her in and get her warm and in a safe, quiet place. If you don't act...

    Chicken just sneezed this morning

    I have heard good things about vetrx (from the link above). But if she was eating and stopped to sneeze that many times I bet she inhaled something up her nose and just needed to sneeze it out. I wouldn't worry about it unless she keeps doing it. I recently had a problem with sick hens. One had...
