    Need Advice After Necropsy- E Coli, Salpingitis and Peritonitis

    I do not have a rooster. I will call this morning to see if they will give advice on my flock. I will research the options you suggested as well and start a treatment. How long after antibiotic treatment before the eggs are safe to eat again?

    Need Advice After Necropsy- E Coli, Salpingitis and Peritonitis

    Thank you for your reply. They only emailed me the report on the bird I sent them (Bluebell), no recommendations on the rest of the flock. I will call them tomorrow to see if they can advise me on my other girls. Bluebell only showed symptoms of something not being right the day she died. (One...

    Need Advice After Necropsy- E Coli, Salpingitis and Peritonitis

    I have a small backyard flock of 12 birds. I've had 3 die within the past month, so I had a necropsy done on the most recent loss. The results came back positive for E Coli in the oviduct and coelomic cavity. She had Caseonecrotic salpingitis and peritonitis most likely caused by the e coli...

    Help- egg bound?

    So sad to report that she did not make it through the night. I’m a little shocked. She was still eating and drinking last night. She never did poop so maybe that’s what caused it. She also has never laid a egg and all her chick mates started in December. Maybe she has something wrong internally.

    Help- egg bound?

    Thank you for your reply. I crushed up a Tums tab and put it in her food. (I saw the recommendation online). I will try soaking her again and palpating her vent.

    Help- egg bound?

    My Cream Legbar is about 34 weeks old and still has not laid a egg. Her comb has finally darkened up so I have been hoping for a egg from her daily. The past few days she has been standing like she needs to poop. I’ve just been keeping my eye on her. Well today I noticed she was not hanging out...

    Hen- standing still often, small hard crop- HELP.

    Bluebell seems to be doing a little better today, but still resting quite a bit. I felt her crop and it is back to normal squishiness. She did not want the electrolytes I was offering. She pooped and it looks very strange. Maybe it’s what was impacted? Here is a pic.

    Hen- standing still often, small hard crop- HELP.

    I fed them some hard boiled eggs and she did come to eat some. I soaked some small pieces of bread with coconut oil and a little calcium and fed them to her. I gently massaged her crop again, although it is soft now. She seems like she is slowly perking up. I saw her poop and she is preening...

    Hen- standing still often, small hard crop- HELP.

    I just did the coconut oil treatment. It worked very well. I put her back in the yard. She is still acting uncomfortable. Does it take a bit for them to feel better? Here is a pic.

    It is still hard this morning. I will start with the coconut oil and then massage. Thank you again.

    Hen- standing still often, small hard crop- HELP.

    Thank you very much! I will go remove the food and water from the coop so I can be sure she hasn’t had any. Fingers crossed this is all it is.

    Hen- standing still often, small hard crop- HELP.

    Hi, I have a year old hen who I noticed is spending most of her time this evening standing around. When I went to investigate I noticed her crop feels like a ping pong ball. She was clucking to me and has bright eyes. She got up on the perch to sleep but just looks scrunched up and...
