    Blackened edges on comb, very lethargic

    We just had one done in Auburn for $10.00. There are two in Tennessee. This is info from Eggcessive: https://www.metzerfarms.com/poultry-labs.html

    Sour crop

    What breed is she? Has she laid any lash eggs? Does she have any discharge, and what color is it? What does her comb look like?

    Blackened edges on comb, very lethargic

    What color was the discharge? Did you notice any lash eggs before she became lethargic? Can you get a necropsy? That way you'll know what her problem was. I'm sorry for your loss.

    Egg bound?

    What color is the discharge? Have you noticed any lash eggs? Is she a hybrid? what color is her comb?

    Continued poopy butt after illness

    Is there any yellow, puss looking discharge? Is her comb bright red, or turning blueish/purplish?

    Reproductive Problems

    I'm sorry for your chickens' condition. We just went through similar circumstances with one of our hybrids for over a month. Hybrids seem to be the main type getting these same symptoms. We lost our girl, unfortunately, even though we did everything we could do to save her. We took her to an...

    Lethargic 4 day old chick

    Sometimes baby chicks from the hatcheries have failure to thrive. We ordered 15, got 18 from Cackle. Four failed to thrive. Brooders at 100 degrees can be too hot for them, which ultimately causes poopy butt.

    Sick hybrid and what to do?

    Our necropsy report listed a large remnant of a layered lash egg, but my vet's x-rays didn't show anything. Fortunately, we've been blessed with 5 newly hatched chicks from our flock (Barred Rock and Black Laced Golden Wyandotte roosters, Barred Rock, Buff Orpington, Black Americana, Golden...

    Sick hybrid and what to do?

    I forgot to ask, but did you have an X-ray on her prior to her death? If so, did it show the mass?

    Sick hybrid and what to do?

    Thanks Bawkbok, we have come to the same conclusion as you - let no bird suffer. I'm trying to reach the hurdle of euthanasia with as much gumption as I can muster. Necropsy, well that might take more gumption than I presently possess. I have seen a lot of same types of symptoms on BYC, and I...

    Sick hybrid and what to do?

    And just so you'll know, the vet did an x-ray of her before we euthanized her, and there was no sign of egg, egg shell, or remnants of a lash egg inside her reproductive tract. But the necropsy report stated that they found quote: "The oviduct was markedly distended and contained fibrinocaseous...

    Missy was a hybrid, either Golden Comet or Cinnamon Queen.

    Sick hybrid and what to do?

    How is E.coli treated in humans, and is there an agent which kills E.coli?

    Sick hybrid and what to do?

    I will post the final report as soon as they send it. Basically it's fatal, right? And if it's transmitted through the E.coli getting in the reproductive tract, can a rooster be the carrier? By the way, I've been looking at posts on BYC that are similar, and it seems there's lots of the same...

    Sick hybrid and what to do?

    @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive @coach723 @Bawkbok I'm attaching the necropsy report for Missy. I hope this can help someone in their quest to save a chicken.
