    Impacted crop or mass?

    I have an injured hen that I brought into the “hospital” coop last night. Her neck is in bad shape thanks to a rooster who had it out for her. While holding her to clean it, I noticed that she has a large mass in her breast area, sort of below and to the side from where the crop usually is...

    Help understand progression of wing injury?

    I now have 16. 7 came from the local hatchery where my 2 deceased, Marek’s positive, girls came from. The other 9 are my oldest girls and they all came from my pet chicken where i requested vaccinated chicks. I was told my dead girls were vaccinated, though. I talked to the vet at the...

    Help understand progression of wing injury?

    Well, I do believe I am dealing with Marek's. It's odd because she did better for 2 weeks with the droopy wing wrapped, but I came home yesterday to her fallen over on her side with her feet out, which is how this started 2 weeks ago, and the other wing is hanging. She stopped eating yesterday...

    Runny green poop AFTER worming.

    She pulled through! At the peak of whatever this was we went on a trip for 7 days and i expected her to die when we were gone. I tube fed her consistently for a few days before we left to get her as strong as possible. This was in March and she's back to normal. She still rests more than the...

    Help understand progression of wing injury?

    I have had it wrapped for a few days and she’s been in the hospital coop alone. I unwrapped it tonight and it flopped back down. It makes her gait a off bc she has to step over it. I can’t imagine what would’ve caused this. They had not free ranged yet that day and my coop is secure. She does...

    Help understand progression of wing injury?

    I don’t see anything that looks off. She’s eating and drinking but the wing hangs fanned out and drooped. She is standing. Should I wrap the wing?

    Help understand progression of wing injury?

    I am out of town this week and relying on pics from my husband. Elsie has been fine until yesterday when my husband said she could not stand. I have included a pic of how she could not support herself for a few hours. This morning she was standing and holding her wing like it was injured - she...

    Sudden death after rough week - thoughts appreciated.

    I’ve had a rough few weeks with my girls. 2 weeks ago I had to cull a pullet who tested for worm overload and MS. Another hen who is 5 immediately began a croupy cough and I cleared that up with some TLC. This whole week I’ve had another in the hospital crate with green poop and no appetite...

    Runny green poop AFTER worming.

    Update: She continues to barely nibble at her special mash and I haven’t seen her drink. I was syringing water but moved to crop feeding so she wouldn’t aspirate. We’ve done 3 crop feedings of water, poultry cell and baby bird food. She had 3 normal poops yesterday but this morning they were...

    Runny green poop AFTER worming.

    She free ranged yesterday but rested more than the others. There were a few mites on her vent to I bathed her and put her in the sick bay. She didn’t drink very much if any on her own today and might’ve pecked at the rice - but only a tad if at all. I’ve given her 3 syringes of water / yolk...

    Runny green poop AFTER worming.

    Ordered and it’s on the way. It won’t get here until next week, which of course we will be out of town. Hopefully she’ll pull through until we get back and I can tend to her closely. Right now the only antibiotic I have is tylosin.
