    Hen quarantined for 3 weeks (respiratory?) now laying down a lot and closing eyes

    Thank you! I’m actually surprised she has such a serious case of lice / mites. We tend to keep their run, coop, and nest boxes pretty clean and change out bedding and straw biweekly. She’s much improved today! Surprises me a little bit since the only thing I did differently was clean out and...

    Hen quarantined for 3 weeks (respiratory?) now laying down a lot and closing eyes

    Great! Do you know if I can do both Ivermectin pour on AND permethrin dust? I really need them to just go away! Her face/head/beak all smell great! She still faintly smells like the soap I bathed her with last week. So is it OK for me to assume what I'm feeling is not an egg? She wouldn't be...

    Hen quarantined for 3 weeks (respiratory?) now laying down a lot and closing eyes

    Yes, I checked her crop first thing this morning before the sun came up. I woke her up to evaluate her so it was definitely first thing. I think I psych myself out because at first it felt half full. But about 30 minutes later I felt again and it felt empty. 🤷‍♀️ She did eat and drink a little...

    Photos of her left nostril before and after cleaning. It took me about an hour to get it all out because it was so impacted. The right one wasn’t nearly as bad. It looked bad at the beginning, but there wasn’t as much waxy stuff as the left.

    Hen quarantined for 3 weeks (respiratory?) now laying down a lot and closing eyes

    11/10 update: She was perched on her food bowl this morning when I went in to wake her up. To me that’s a good sign that she wasn’t laying down in the same spot. Her left nostril has some dried blood in it. 😔 I must have injured her when I cleaned it out last night. Still not interested in...

    Hen quarantined for 3 weeks (respiratory?) now laying down a lot and closing eyes

    Thank you so much, Crazy Maizie! I hope we can get this figured out. Wyorp Rock - Thank you for your reply! It’s hard for me to say when she last laid an egg since I have 13 hens and they all share four nestboxes between them. 😕 She hasn’t laid since she’s been quarantined. My first thought...

    Hen quarantined for 3 weeks (respiratory?) now laying down a lot and closing eyes

    Hello! I'm a newbie here, but have read the forums for a few years. I just started raising chickens (mostly silkies) as a hobby about 6 years ago. We currently only have hens. The hen in question is about 4 years old. We got her as a 2-3 day old chick and were told she's a silkie, but she...
