While this hen is doing okay at this moment, her feces were normal until this morning saw this nasty one again. Curious do you think this looks like it has worms in it?
You are a wealth of knowledge I thank you. I researched all morning and I really am thinking EYP with possible Ascites. Thing is, after 2 days of antibiotics, lots of herbs & persistence she is almost back to her normal self. Quite unreal.
Yes, certainly seems full and more squishy then the typical hen where it’s firm but I don’t think it’s been like that for long? This hen has never liked being handled, but she’s also my most active bird. Pretty shocking if it is Ascites that I was never aware. She’s always been smaller or...
She seems to be slightly improving. Has ate a few times today. Curious I am now suspecting Ascites which I feel like would make sense with the jelly like feces? Ive seen something a while back about eyebright and brewers yeast.. maybe I’ll start adding that into the mix.
I do have antibiotic on hand that I’ve been giving her. Besides reproductive the only other thing I suspect is coccidiosis, but I do not think that is it. I asked the vet to do a fecal, but they didn’t seem too keen on doing it without bringing her in for full exam. I will try the tums.
Have a hen who started sitting in nest box two days over the last week with no egg. I assumed possible moulting as she has new pin feathers growing on her abdomen. 2 mornings ago I saw egg content under roost and this hen did not act her normal self, very slow, lethargic. Brought her in, soaked...
Reason why I feel I need to cut; it's come out further in the last day. I'm not sure if it has pulled on it because it's annoying being there?
More pictures added, it's not easy trying to take pics with a poult that does not want to be held :)
Long story short my turkey poult I thought was very ill magically got better after a bone popped out through its chest! There was no blood and the skin seems to be normal around the bone. The turkey now seems to be in zero pain, happy & healthy as can be. I've tried wrapping my head around it...
Agree, just at a loss of what's going on. Was wondering if anyone else has every experienced something similar. Odd thing is they are more active today then the last 3. Some people I have spoken to say cull some say maybe muscle can grow around bone?
I have a 4 week old turkey poult that i noticed a couple days ago wasnt doing well. Very depressed, droopy wings, would just sit under the heat lamp not active like normal. I pulled them out and seperated from the rest. Its been 3 days, Ive noticed tiny bit of improvement, more moving around and...
