    Walking Like a Penguin but no egg stuck in vent

    I have just had to cull my beautiful Golden Wyandotte hen this evening after a full month of attempting to heal her. Not antibiotics, not worming, not warm baths, not probiotics, not seaweed vitamin supplements helped. She became our pet, because she no longer scratched she was given full access...

    Walking Like a Penguin but no egg stuck in vent

    Today my 12 month old Wyandotte came down unwell - swollen abdomen, moving and standing in an upright posture, like a penguin. Comb and eyes look fine. One bowel motion in five hours bit dry but no blood and not runny, and has only drunk sparingly. There is no egg inside the vent which I checked...
