I woke up to a standing chicken yesterday and today! You can see the smashed B-vitamin tablet on the cucumber in the photo below. Miracle vitamin! Seriously, she's getting stronger and stronger. I took her outside for a field trip with her sisters yesterday, and the low hen (Owlette) went after...

Thank you! This is so helpful! I really can't thank you enough for everything. <3

Here's the worm I saw in the pic...

Thanks for the additional thoughts! Day 10 update: We started CEH cream on her legs yesterday after her epsom salt/CBD footbath. I rubbed some triple antibiotic ointment on the sores first, then the cream all over both feet and legs. Things are looking much better (the yellow tint to her skin is...

And today's pic. <3

Relatively fresh dropping from this evening at bedtime. She's still hanging in there, and fairly perky still. No change from yesterday. Tonight's dinner included a scrambled egg, some wet crumbles, Nutridrench, CBD oil, VetRX, and a Super B Complex tablet. She was skeptical, and kept shaking her...

Thanks for that info about B complex vitamins - I will get some tomorrow. Her poop is very liquid - dark green mash-consistency in lots of clearish liquid. I'll try to get a picture tomorrow. It makes the most pleasant (hah) sound when she poops. ;) I believe we called them "hershey squirts"...

I'm going to try to provide as much info as I can using the questions from the pinned post - just wondering if others have suggestions for what else to do to help my hen. Sorry this is so long! Thanks for whatever insight and thoughts you might share! 1) What type of bird , age and weight (does...

Well, she popped the superglue the first time around. So we cleaned her up again, trimmed a few more feathers, and glued it again right before bed. She was calmer the 2nd time, and I think I got the area dryer, i glued a larger area, and it was dark when we finished so I set her right on the...

By the way, that video was what gave me the confidence to even try!!! I had just read other advice that said not to stitch or glue, that they'll heal on their own. Thank you for sharing the video. Our surgery was almost identical to theirs with a slightly smaller incision.

Thank you both for your replies. I did try liquid bandage, which is supposed to be like superglue but safer? But clearly it's not strong enough. At this point is there any hope with superglue? Or should I learn to suture? And, either way, do the edges need to be reopened/re-cut for them to...

I have a 1 year old hen who had an impacted crop. At first we weren't really worried about it, it's been going on for a month or so. And it always seemed to settle down on its own. But on Friday last week she started getting very lethargic, and went downhill from there. We can't afford vets for...

Beauty is so precious! I can't get enough of her ears. <3

Hi Neighbor! :frow I'm just up the road near Sun Prairie! I love your cows and kitties and chickens! We got our first chicks from Abendroth's in June - and got our first eggs this week! Keep the pictures coming - I love 'em! 😍

Welcome! I just joined yesterday! :)
