We have bought some chick grower to crush up for her and mix with an antibiotic we also just bought so we are hoping maybe the antibiotics will do something.
If not, I’m still staying hopeful, I just don’t want her to be in pain that’s all. :(
She doesn’t have any signs of blindness. Her head goes up and down all the time and she can’t see where she’s walking, she tracks around the fence line.
She just can’t pick up solid seed and pallet, she slops up the soaked watery seed and weetabix we give her
She’s losing her depth perception. We believe she can barely see out of one of her eyes and the other is worse. I think this may be a reason to why she can’t pick the food up properly..
We do have that available in our area. But she’s been eating and drinking really good now, even the seed but it still has to be soaked and soft.
Do you think if it was water belly she wouldn’t be eating/drinking? I’ve read they can but they don’t consume a lot of it, but my hen has been eating...
We’ve been mixing soaked seed into the mixes of foods we’ve been giving her. She always has access to clean water and ect. She just doesn’t eat solid food even when we soak the seed, it just seems like she can’t peck it up
Her last egg would have been around a week ago. She eats and drinks perfectly okay, we’ve been giving her soft weetabix and scrambled eggs mixed with vitamin water.
Everything I’ve read is if she had water belly she’d have laboured breathing and blue comb because of the lack of oxygen. However...
I have an older hen and she’s been very lethargic the past week. I’ve given her epsom salt baths for two days now and she’s walking around for a little bit. I’m so stuck on if she has WATER BELLY or EGG-BOUND.. she’s showing all symptoms of egg bound except it says they can barely survive 24-48...
