    eggbound or not eggbound?

    @coach723, I've noticed that there seems to be a definable difference in symptoms of chickens that die from salpingitis. One group has respiratory or eye issues. The other group does not. I wonder if any studies have been done as to the difference in bacteria/viruses found during a necropsy of...

    eggbound or not eggbound?

    I'm sorry for your loss. Here's a vet's report on our hen that died of salpingitis. The cause of contracting salpingitis is stated to be E. coli.

    Drooping comb and won’t eat or drink

    Continue to post poop pics. The yellow discharge is not a good sign. Look for lash eggs, and check her belly below the vent for swelling. @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive @coach723 Here are three experts that I've alerted.

    3 y/old leghorn with lethargy

    Have you seen any lash eggs? Is her belly bloated below her vent? Take pictures of her poop constantly, and post regularly. I'll post another member, @coach723 , who along with @Wyorp Rock and @Eggcessive have seen this malady before.

    Help me diagnose

    Always take pics of her poop and post. What breed is she? What does she eat? Any changes in her comb? Does her abdomen look distended below the vent? Have you noticed any lash eggs?

    Help, Coccidiosis? Or intestinal shed

    Hey @Eggcessive , the thick yellow discharge in that poop is concerning. Could the bloody looking poop be the shedding of stomach lining?

    Interesting study about internal laying and egg yolk peritonitis

    I forgot to mention, that this study was done on white leghorns. In my reading at BYC, many, almost all, of the cases of salpingitis (reproductive related issues) were seen in hybrid chickens.
