    Help! Chicken with... something... coccidiosis? She is reluctant to stand/walk but is curious and ea

    I just checked her belly... does seem swollen. Its the only part of her body that has much "meat" left to it. I felt it the other day when I thought she was egg bound but she doesn't have any masses. If anything it almost feels lumpy - maybe a broken egg? But she has lost so much weight, it...

    So it doesn't sound like she's just weak from the meds. :( I'll see how she is doing tomorrow and have to make a decision from there. Could this be EYP?

    Help! Chicken with... something... coccidiosis? She is reluctant to stand/walk but is curious and ea

    Can worms cause neuro issues? I can go to the store tomorrow to get some. How quickly should I see improvement if it is worms? My husband doesn't want to give her more than a few more days of sitting in her own poo :( poor thing. What kind of vitamins should I be putting in her food? Do I...

    Could it be the deficiency even though there haven't been any changes in diet? Is severe weight loss align with that kind of deficiency? We have two other girls who seem unaffected but I do not think that any of them had a Marek's vaccine. There haven't been any new birds or any changes except...

    Help! Chicken with... something... coccidiosis? She is reluctant to stand/walk but is curious and ea

    On Monday I pulled one of my girls inside. She was standing with what looked like an egg bound stance and was closing her eyes. I gave her a warm bath but it didn't seem like that's what was wrong. (She hasn't been laying for over a year - she had an issue with soft shells at one point and just...

    Help requested: Hen Intestine or Oviduct possibly Protruding?

    What happened with her? I found that my Swan princess seemed egg bound last night. I gave her a hot bath this morning and she started almost coughing. Each time she did she was also pushing and seemed to be pushing out her intestines (as there was poop coming out of it, that's what I assume it...

    Nits.. Lice? Mites? Or what??

    We originally found nits then some lice. Everything I've been reading says that you only need to treat the host for a lice issue. But now I'm second guessing it.. Could I have both nits and mites? I know we need to dust again at least once- but I've read so many opinions on how to treat coops...

    Nits.. Lice? Mites? Or what??

    A week and a half ago one of my girls broke her beak. In the process of looking closely at her I noticed that she had some white stuff on the feathers around her neck. I proceeded to check the other girls and found that my black australorpe had a few small clumps around her vent. Of course I...

    My Isa Browns beak!!

    It fell off completely? Is she filing her beak and still eating fine? My girl's beak has split further and I think will eventually fall off as she files it down. I'm not really concerned about it anymore since she is eating fine, isn't getting picked on and seems to be filing it and taking care...

    My Isa Browns beak!!

    You said hers was split at the tip - I ran into a similar issue yesterday. While cleaning out the coop, one of our girls got spooked and ran, repeatedly, into the wall even though we stopped and gave her some space. Later on while she was roaming the yard I noticed her beak bleeding. Turns out...
