    Suprelorin implant (Virbac) stops hens with egg peritonitis laying anymore

    Hey Dee, Good move id say! The implants may be costly but its well worth it for the results. I found about 1 week after Ethels implant she was a bit off her food (likely due to her sickness tho) so i spoilt her for about a month after and tried to encourage as much eating as possible. Though i...

    Suprelorin implant (Virbac) stops hens with egg peritonitis laying anymore

    Hey Vicki, I was unaware about the sizes available! I was told Ethels would last anywhere between 6 to 12months. I will have a look through her records to see if there is a mention of size and get back too! Cheers Jess

    Sick laying hen - egg bound maybe??

    Thank you :-) i will give it a go! Do i feed her the calcium first and then try the warm bath or wait until the following day for the bath? ( sorry for all the questions) If she is egg bound could it be multiple eggs or once an egg is stuck they stop producing them? Cheers, Jess
