    impacted croup

    I have a brown Brahma bantie hen who was looking fluffed up and she did go a little runny poop and I put her in small cage with heat and water and food just to observe her and today her croup is hard as a rock.

    Aracona laying hen has swollen abdomen and hot

    thanks for all your help. She seems back to herself and the abdomen has shrunken and hopefully this will be gone by the weekend. She is acting normal and eating and pecks at me when I go to pet her. She seems to have her spunk back. Thanks again.

    Well I soaked her for 15 minutes and brought her in the house to get her really warm. She stands like a pengiun poor thing. She seems to look like she is breathing harder than normal. I will leave her alone this evening then maybe try again. thanks
