Hello.. it has been awhile since I have posted here ... a raccoon got into my coop last night and hurt one of my birds.. she is alive... it looks like it ripped the feathers and skin off the entire back of her neck.. I cleaned it up.. put some neosporin on it and gave her some...

Update: She is alive!!! Took almost a week to break her fever but she is all better. She hates me now but I am happy.. thanks for all the help guys. :)

Thank you. I will have to go looking for the oils I only have sandalwood oil. Going to the feed depot today to hit them up for some electrolytes.

No. Her abdomen and everything feels normal. She is just hot and has the runs. :(

Thank you.. I might keep bathing her in a cool bath. Might help bring her temp down and she loves soaking in the water.

Thanks.. someone said ibuprofen when one of my babies was hurt.. I will switch it up to aspirin . I have not taken an exact temp but since I thought she might be egg bound I can tell just by touching her and feeling for the egg that she is on fire.

Hello. I posted a few days ago thinking my hen was egg bound but I am not sure any more. She is about a year old. The first day we notice her acting strange she was sitting on the ground..wings droopy.. and did not want to walk or stand. Did all the fun stuff for trying to help with an...

Starting to think maybe she is not eggbound. She is pooping now and it is watery green/yellow color and she still has the fever. Still giving her ibuprofen and she is drinking and eating fine. Anyone know of an illness that it might be? Eggbound is still in my mind but it has been 3...

Update. I greased her up again and she has fever now. :( gave her a bit of baby ibuprofen and a nice soak.. tucked her in for the night.. now all I can do is pray she passes it in the night. Oh and I did another feel for the egg and I still can not feel anything. :(

Okay.. great.. thank you for all the help and advice.. I will keep working bv with her and keep my fingers and toes crossed.

Thank you for the diagram.. so when feeling for an egg from the inside I should feel with my finger going up instead of feeling down?

No.. she is not broody.. I have had a few hens get broody.. and she is no showing signs of that. :(

I have been soaking her but I live in Florida and if I cover her up she will probably have a heat stroke.

I did the finger feel when I was using some lubrication. She was not happy about that. I did not feel an egg.
