I was mortified about doing it so I broke it into fours but I got them in. Now to wait and see what she does. I also had her soaking in a Epsom salt bath before hand so she was nice, relaxed, And wrapped in a towel.
She felt all around didn't feel a lump per say but I checked again after you asked. It feels round just under her wings... like it could be an egg. It's day 3 now... so she should be laying today anyways right? I don't have tum... I can run to the corner store and get some. I have calcium...
Thank you. I don't know. I've only ever treated my chickens for round worms in the past because I had noticed them in their poo. I don't think her symptoms line up with worms but im new to all this. My other chickens behavior has been normal.
She is puffed and closing her eyes. She's been like this for two days now. Initially, i thought she was egg bound, because before she started acting lethargic and puffed up, i saw her in the brooder box. Also about a week before she was acting lethargic and layed a shell less egg and afterwards...
I know this post was from years ago, but the way you described the situation with your chicken is whats happening to my 1 year old EE laying hen. Almost to the T. Do you remember what electrolyte stuff you gave to your hen?
