    Hen has pecked her rear to pieces

    Also, the vent hasn't been affected at all. Very clean in perfect shape, hasn't started laying yet. You can see the vent in the closer up pic

    Hen has pecked her rear to pieces

    Hello!! Thank you for answering so quickly. Trying to get thoughts together as I wait for pics from son and hub. She was wormed a month ago and sprayed coop and hens multiple times for mites. She's clean. About 2weeks ago we noticed the freah wound and gave her a epson soak, then watched to see...

    Hen has pecked her rear to pieces

    My 9mo Welsomer hen has recently started first pulling her feathers and then pecking her rear under her vent. It was a bloody mess. I brought her in, washed her butt several times a day, used the rinse off antiseptic, hen healer, neosporin, made diapers from fabric like upside down aprons with a...

    Two Hens - lethargic, green poo, labored breathing

    Thanks alexisrambles and Wyorp Rock, I appreciate the kindness! The preliminary results from our Buff Rock came in and they wrote "the abdomen was filled with ascitic fluid and a large number of tumors (apparent estrogen-induced adenosarcomas.)" I knew about Marek's related tumors and had...

    Two Hens - lethargic, green poo, labored breathing

    The second spray of Martin's Pen & Poultry luckily got rid of any remaining mites, and yep, dewormed their flock before this round of illness. Unfortunately the second hen, a Buff Rock named May, died Friday(12/6) afternoon. I'd been checking up on them and she had a sort of seizure, loss of...

    Two Hens - lethargic, green poo, labored breathing

    An update, checked inside their beaks for anything unusual and saw nothing. Still no breath odor, and I started giving them oil, as suggested. For mites - can see them dead on their body, but both still have some around the heads. Lightly treated them again last night. They've got the same green...

    Two Hens - lethargic, green poo, labored breathing

    Thanks for the quick reply, Wyorp Rock! Yes, we used .50% permethrin spray on chickens and coops, .25% permethrin dust in coops. They've been given a daily 1/4th of a B Complex tablet & started nutri-drench last night. Looking at the analysis of Rooster Booster Poultry Cell vs. the B complex...

    Two Hens - lethargic, green poo, labored breathing

    Hey folks, we've got two hens (both 8 months old, Light Brahma and Buff Rock) that have suddenly fallen ill and I could really use some outside help. Quick info...They both are very lethargic, breathing heavy, eyes closed, with green watery poo. Symptoms set in 2 days apart. Both had/have...

    Limping & swelling near eye - 12 week old Ameraucana

    A late update: The necropsy results came in and this was indeed a case of Marek's for both chickens. Our oldest hen passed away last week, too, and we're going to just assume it was Marek's or old age instead of sending for another necropsy. Another pullet (our other black Ameraucana) is showing...

    Limping & swelling near eye - 12 week old Ameraucana

    Unfortunately coming back to update, he died on the 21st. Had a gut feeling about it, so I carried him outside to feel the sunshine—likely more comforting to me than him, to be honest. Georgia Poultry Lab actually came by and picked him up on the 23rd, lots of appreciation and credit to them...

    What to do with early signs of respiratory infection?

    A week ago I posted a question regarding a sick cockerel, who I suspect has a respiratory infection. To sum it up, I initially thought his symptoms were signs of potential cocci + young rooster fights. I began treatment for coccidiosis, moved the other boys to their own coop, left him with the...

    Limping & swelling near eye - 12 week old Ameraucana

    Thanks for the info, Chicken101-07, I'll have to look into Baytril. I'm glad to hear it worked out for you! Good point...I've separated him from the others now, broom closet's got a layer of straw lol. Thursday night we attempted to remove the puss from his eye but it didn't work at all, in...

    Limping & swelling near eye - 12 week old Ameraucana

    Thanks for the link! I've already got Liquamycin LA-200 on hand, but doesn't seem like a bad idea to have Tysolin/Tylan available too. He's still about the same. Eating & drinking very well, giving him a mash and all flock pellets so he doesn't get anything in his nostrils. We may try to...
