    Pale Comb and Lethargic chicken

    She died of fatty liver hemorrhage. Rest of the girls are on a strict diet now, treats only once a week. Not including fresh fruits and vegetables. Sorry your girls aren't doing well :( heartbreaking honestly. Rats are no joke, I have lots of traps around my run under milk crates whenever...

    Pale Comb and Lethargic chicken

    So this morning my 2 year old Easter Egger was slow getting off the roost. I noticed she is very pale and lethargic. She was fine yesterday. she was also panting. It has not been overly hot in CT. Brought her in, did a check for mites and lice Nd found nothing. Gave her a dropper full of...

    Year old Hen diagnosed with Egg yolk peritonitis

    She had her second birthday this week. Has put weight back on and hasn't had a reoccurance yet. She lays sporadically but not with any regularity. Appetite is good, poos look good, and behavior is normal. I know the likelihood is high it will happen again and she may not make it, but at...

    Year old Hen diagnosed with Egg yolk peritonitis

    So another update ... she is doing great! I didn't mention in the first post that she was prone to either extra calcium on her eggs or a thin shelled egg from the beginning. Knock on wood we haven't had a softie since. So I am hoping that means her system responded well to antibiotics and...

    Year old Hen diagnosed with Egg yolk peritonitis

    And she is back to laying. We are going to keep a close eye on her. Hopefully it.was a one time thing but from what I have read, it usually isn't. Seriously the only reason I even noticed the swollen abdomen (she has a Seriously fluffy butt) was because of the hard molt. So I have learned...

    Year old Hen diagnosed with Egg yolk peritonitis

    Luckily it did help our bird. She hasn't laid since however. Between the really hard molt, winter months, and her being ill I am not surprised. Just hoping it doesn't happen again when she goes back into lay

    20 week old silkies

    35 weeks and no crow or egg :lau Had to trim her poof because she liked matting up her fluff in mud. Weather here in New England has been screwy this year. small comb and small wattles still. Have caught her walking around the coop during daylight hours so maybe soon!

    Year old Hen diagnosed with Egg yolk peritonitis

    She doesn't seem to be uncomfortable at all (well considering she does not like being in the ICU cage but we thought we'd keep her there at least for the night and tomorrow so I can get 24 hours of antibiotics in. Chasing her through the run to get her to take her meds when she is sloughing off...
