    Egg bound chicken?

    No fluid from the vent. I didn't really feel an egg. I don't have any calcium tablets or tums. I have some other antiacid tablets with calcium carbonate. She may get too stressed if I keep her away from the other chickens. I have not seen any thin-shelled eggs in the coop.

    Egg bound chicken?

    I just gave her an epsom salt bath. She had watery diarrhea afterward. She seems a bit worse now and is moving around less. I have not seen any soft shell eggs in the coop. I did not feel any egg in her.

    Egg bound chicken?

    Today one of my chickens has been walking with her tail to the ground like a penguin. She is still moving around but she is panting heavily. Is she egg bound? I am not sure when she last laid an egg. How should I treat her if she is egg bound? Should I soak her in Epsom salt water? Any advice...

    Chicken with ascites. Please help!

    Thank you for your reply. I think she is a little over two years old. She used to belong to my neighbor so I don't know her exact age. She is an amberlink. I dont have any way to end it quickly for her. She is still walking around, eating, and scratching some, so I just want to make her...

    Chicken with ascites. Please help!

    On Sunday I first noticed that one of my chickens was looking a bit bloated. By Monday her abdomen was very large and she was struggling to breathe. On Tuesday after some research, I determined that she likely has ascites. I watched some videos on how to drain the fluid. I used a large syringe...

    Chicken with bloated abdomen

    I don't think I have any gloves or lubricant around here. Her abdomen seems more full than If it were a broken egg. Should I try soaking her in Epsom salt?

    Chicken with bloated abdomen

    I am not sure how I would check her for that. I don't know when the last time was that she laid an egg. Is there anything I can do for her to make her more comfortable?

    Chicken with bloated abdomen

    Around a day ago I noticed that one of my chickens has a bloated abdomen beneath her vent that feels like it is full of fluid. She has been having very watery diarrhea and is breathing heavy. Today her abdomen feels a little bigger and she looks painful. She will still eat and drink and her comb...

    Sour Crop Death?

    Yes, I am beginning to regret making her vomit after reading more about it. I did not know what else to do, she was already in bad condition when I found her, and her crop was very swollen. Also, after I found her in the coop I put her outside the coop to see if she would walk and she started...

    Sour Crop Death?

    Yesterday morning when I went out to my chicken's coop I found one of them laying on the floor. I picked her up and she was breathing with her mouth slightly open and her crop was very large and squishy, it felt like it was filled with fluid or gas. I thought she might have sour crop and I had...

    Chicken making honking sound when breathing.

    Her breathing was pretty quiet when I got home. I saw her eating some seed but it seems like her crop did not fully empty from the small amount of bread I gave her this morning. I brought her inside and she ate a small amount of rice and a bit of tuna. I also gave her some lactated ringers...

    Chicken making honking sound when breathing.

    I did not seem any lesions but I will try to get a better look in her mouth when I get home from work tonight. She will occasionally shake her head but no more than usual. It does not seem like her crop is completely emptying. She was still making that light honking sound this morning when I was...

    Chicken making honking sound when breathing.

    When I got home she was in the coop and she was not making the honking sound. I brought her inside and offered her some peas and rice. She did not want any peas but ate a few grains of rice. I also offered her some bread and she ate some of it. I also gave her a little bit of olive oil again and...

    Chicken making honking sound when breathing.

    My chicken is around 10 years old. It is wintertime and she has not been eating much, she will not eat her hen food and will only eat certain foods on her own. She had even started losing weight. I have been hand feeding her more food like egg and peas by pushing small pieces into her mouth and...

    Cat Attacked Chicken Leaving Puncture Wound

    Would you recommend giving oral antibiotics, or should I only go that far if I begin to see signs of infection like swelling, redness, and discharge?
