    🚨Help! My chicken is acting weird & maybe egg-bound? Video posted

    Update: I gave her an epsom salt bath and lubricated her vent with coconut oil. I didn’t feel an egg when I felt her stomach or her vent. She is in a dog crate with food and water in our basement for now. She didn’t do any of the deep breathing/stretching from the video when in the bath. Any...

    I don’t, but I can get some. Do you have a recommendation on which kind? I am near a North 40 store or I can order on Amazon.

    It looks like she taking big breaths or stretching her back. I don’t notice a change in her breathing when I hold her though. She sits a lot and walks like she is stiff. I tried to take a video—is there any way to post it on this thread?

    I have a full-sized hen (I just adopted them a couple months ago and have no idea about the breed). I want to give her an epsom salt bath to ensure that she isn’t egg bound (she’s been acting funny). I have four little kids, so I need to be able to leave her in the bath while I take care of my...

    Chicken attacked by dogs

    We went down to the crate, and she was laying on her side with her legs limp. We took the bandage off, and we used a syringe to give some sugar water. Her tongue moved some, but she’s pretty non-response, even when we bring the water to her beak. She can’t hold her head up, and she has blood...

    Chicken attacked by dogs

    Thank you so much 🩷 really moved by you taking the time to respond. When we clean her up and apply more ointment, I’ll leave the bandage off. She has the white trailing down her back feathers (that’s what we cleaned off with saline spray yesterday). Any idea what the clear, water-like fluid...

    Chicken attacked by dogs

    We adopted 7 hens (no idea how old they are). Our dogs attacked one and tore all the feathers and skin off her back—from the base of her neck to her tail. She has very small clump of tail feathers left. It doesn’t look like her back was punctured but that her skin was torn (she has a large flap...
