    Hi there Another Kiwi joins the flock :)

    she is definately looking perkier this morning but still no pooing. given her yoghurt and warm water with rice bran oil, and she looks like she has passed some gooey green stuff, not sure if poo or vomit.

    Hi there Another Kiwi joins the flock :)

    yes exactly. I spoke to one of the girls I work with today, and she suggested moving them as well, so Im hoping that having them in the new paddock will make a difference

    Hi there Another Kiwi joins the flock :)

    Update: Today I rang another vet who suggested it could be a bacterial infection, My original vet finally rang me after I left message after message, and said that the autopsy on the previously deceased chook showed she died of pancreatic cancer, and she also may possibly have had a bacterial...

    Hi there, Good thinking! I have actually moved the chooks out of their usual pen tonight, and have them in a separate yard with a smaller roosting coop. I see another one has the runs tonight :( I have put garlic water in with them so will see how they are tomorrow.

    Hi there Another Kiwi joins the flock :)

    Hen vomiting

    HI KiwiChook, Interested to see how you are getting on. I have lost 3 of my girls in the last month, not sure if it was some sort of virus, but the vet was useless. The last one I ended up euthanasing. I live rurally and of course people look at you funny if you take your chook to the vet. After...
