Some Apple cider vinegar in her water will help with her digestive system. It kinda clears them out if there is bad bacteria in their system. I put it in all water feeders so both of mine have even if only one of them was unwell. Hope she is brighter today x
I wonder what's upsetting her. Have you seen her droppings recently? I guess with 12 of them it's difficult to know who has done what... I'm no expert and I am sure others on here are far more knowledgeable so apologies I can't offer anything insightful... I truly hope she perks up. Keep us updated?
Hi there, thought I'd let you have an update - we took our girl to the vets and they put her to sleep this afternoon. Almost certainly due to internal laying. So sad. I don't really know what to do with myself. I'm also worried about our remaining hen, as she is now all alone... I've read a lot...
Hi again Eggcessive, after reading those links, I think a trip to the vet might be the kindest next step. If it is peritonitis then it sounds like she is in going to have been in a lot of pain. My poor girl :-(
Thanks again,
Liza
Thanks Eggcessive.
I will have a read of those. She is still pooping, all very watery, most white with some very clear lumps, she passed something earlier that was skin coloured, rubbery and about 2 inches long. She's still eating and drinking but has spent a lot of the day stood is the same...
Hi there,
Hoping for some advice regarding my poorly hen. I am based in the UK, and have 2 beautiful marans. They are happy, healthy girls most of the time. They are 4 years old and are called Audrey and Marilyn.
Marilyn has never been a reliable,consistent layer, has been known to lay...
