Ok
Ok to be fair I'm going to hold off on that until it gets to a point that she's obviously suffering. She isn't necessarily unhappy especially since she gave me such a positive response to food recently.
Actually I did see her finally poop. It was about th size of a penny and it did some light sierra brown fecal matter. It was still watery and had some eurate. She has finally eaten for me as well. Not even an hour ago. I offered her a fresh raw egg. She took that with some dry chicken feed mixed...
I habe a black australorp named artemis. She went broody over some unferile eggs this summer. She laid on broke eggs (the smell was awful), no eggs at all, I had to block coop access from the flock so she would eat something, I always had to manually put her outside. It took about 3-4 weeks for...
I previously posted about my 4 year old black sex link hen, Nymphadora. She has the following information and sypmtoms:
-small poops (only very watery eurates)
-swollen/watery like abdomen (near the abdomen and vent) (not egg bound I checked her vent)
-lathargic, will fall asleep anywhere
-crop...
I believe I made a made a mistake on her breed. She is a black sex link. Not a red sex link. I am staying to think she has a bowl obstruction or it might even be cancer. I first thought it was just depression from molting. Some chicken I heard become depressed during molting. But I knew it had...
The one thing I have noticed that concerns me is she isn't defacating much. There is some hardened decides that was once runny near her butt feathers. The last time I saw her poop in front of me was when I let her outside Monday evening. Her crop feels mushy and I can feel it's grainy like small...
This is what I did when I had a chicken with sour crop. I loosened his crop with water and I made her regurgitate. You have to make sure they don't aspirate. They can't cough because they don't had a gag reflex. I expelled all the yeast and infection and feed her yogurt and powerade. Yogurt...
My red sex australorp has been acting off since I came back from vacation. I left for three days to go to Pennsylvania. I made sure my flock had chicken feed and fresh water. When I can't back to of my chickens are in full molt, but are as bright and spunky ever. But my dear Nymphadora isn't...
She isn't laying as much as she used to. She sometime has spells of her twitching her head,.like she has something in her throat that is preventing her from breathing. She doesn't gape like it's gaperworm. But it's kinda like when they get something in their nose, like water
So I've talked about my 4 year old tetra brown, mable in the past. But today I have become extremely worried about her condition. She's been having this labored breathing, she has more trouble during very humid days. She is very lathargic at times and has a limp in her right leg. Today I noticed...
