    Sick chicken, cheesy poop, prolapse when pooping

    Thank you, coach723. We have already buried her in the yard - it was best for our kids. Since I suspected that she didn't lay eggs, I'm going to assume it was a reproductive issue, rather than a virus. The other three seem to be in excellent health and spirits. I will keep a close eye on...

    Sick chicken, cheesy poop, prolapse when pooping

    Last night she wouldn't let me give her the antibiotics, and I didn't have an assistant at the time. Ill try again this morning. She hasn't made the coughing type of sound when drinking since before she was drained, so I'm glad about that. I'll be sure to check the crop. She did eat dried...

    Wow, Hen Pen Jem, thank you so much for all the great info! I will do as much of that as I can, for sure. I had thought about aspirin as I had read a bit about it, but didn't think it would help. Luna has done really well with the baths, thankfully, and I think I've come up with a good method...

    Anyone have any experience with using Oregano Oil to treat infections in birds? Someone suggested it to me.

    Sick chicken, cheesy poop, prolapse when pooping

    So I found a reasonable vet and took Luna there today. They removed 150 cc's of fluid from her abdomen, and her breathing is easier now. Vet says it's likely cancer or broken/internally laid or some other egg issue, neither has a good prognosis. When my 11 year old daughter, a cancer...

    Sick chicken, cheesy poop, prolapse when pooping

    The stuff in the poop does look eggy to me also. So, I haven't been feeding her much because she was straining when pooping and I was hoping she'd be able to empty out. So I'm not sure about emptying the crop. She has had Styrofoam in her crop for a very long time, fyi. Her abdomen does feel...

    Sick chicken, cheesy poop, prolapse when pooping

    Thank you Wyorp Rock for responding. The couple of times I gently pushed IL the prolapse back in it was squishy, nothing hard inside that I felt. Would I need to insert my finger inside to check for eggshells? The prolapsed tissue always goes back in after she's done pushing, so I don't...

    Sick chicken, cheesy poop, prolapse when pooping

    I need help! My 13 month old chicken, who I suspect does not normally lay eggs, has been sick. I noticed she was prolapsed when trying to poop a few days ago. I separated her, brought her inside and am keeping her in a dark cage. She isn't able to get much poop out (is straining, not being...

    Little Bullies. Help!

    This is great information, thanks so much! One of my 4 pullets (the one I thought was the dominate one of the group) was pecked by another one today after they had a scare, and was bleeding on the back of her neck. We took her out and planned to keep her separate for at least the night, but...

    Best source for plastic hardware cloth?

    We just got 1/2" hardware cloth from Amazon.com. It was less expensive that Home Depot and Lowes.
