    Infectious Coryza: to treat or to let it run its course?

    When we had a severe respiratory illness go through last year, it was a full time job to treat. We had a few that got so swollen we got desperate. I was prepared to try to drain with a needle, but used the Q-tip and removed the junk from the roof of their mouth (run it back to front) in between...

    Weird white clumps on and in egg

    Thank you so much!

    Weird white clumps on and in egg

    I didn't fully consider the respiratory illness being a factor. Thanks for reminding me! Can antibiotics be a cause of egg issues too? I guess I'm just so used to her being so good that it's just extra weird. We are doing the calcium plus D and do have lots of oyster shell available along with...

    Weird white clumps on and in egg

    Sorry, I looked back to get dates straight. We gave her antibiotics for 10 days then started giving probiotics around day 8 and have continued for about 3 weeks now. Should we give her more than one a day? I didn't think about the vent with the gleet. That looks normal.

    Weird white clumps on and in egg

    We have a 20 month old leghorn that's always been a star layer. She had a respiratory thing not long ago though and vet put her on amoxicillan for 10 days. We've been giving probiotics the whole time as a precaution. She hasn't really laid since the antibiotics, but has been acting totally...

    Weird poop

    I think I was confusing, the one with the weird poop, does not have any respiratory issues at all. She doesn't get picked on, but she doesn't really eat or drink while outside either, which is why we brought her back inside. We left her out for about 8 hours and by the time we brought her in she...

    Weird poop

    She was eating well until we put her back outside, now she hasn't been eating as much. She wants and eats a lot of snacks if offered though and is mostly in good spirits. Her crop did seem a little weird for a few days, so that's why we've been doing the metoclopramide and probiotics, but it has...

    Weird poop

    We just seem to be having sickness after sickness here and I'm struggling. We had one pass from something somewhat similar a few months ago, but never figured it out. This girl has watery poop with thin strands of firmer stuff in it (the color is because she had a couple blueberries this...

    Hen gasping for air, no vet available

    We found a video about how to use a q tip and clean the sinuses from the mouth. Pretty sure it saved the lives of a few of our birds last year. You hold their beak open and put the a tip to the roof of their mouth and pull forward. It removes any plugged up mucous and helps the sinuses drain. It...

    Weird posture

    Update for anyone in the future. Vet agreed with a crop issue and confirmed she's not laying yet, but is really close. She prescribed metoclopramide and a soft food diet for 10 days. Hoping that does the trick.

    Weird posture

    Her poop this morning. She ate a bit of yogurt when offered, but she just wants to lay down. I don't believe she has actually started laying yet, as appenzellers are late layers and she isn't as developed as some of the others.

    Weird posture

    We gave her some calcium last night, but today he crop is just squishy. She hasn't eaten since last night, just laid down all night.

    Weird posture

    I have both of these, can I use one of them instead?

    Sick chicken

    How's she doing? We have one like this now that we aren't sure if she is laying, but standing in a similar position.

    Weird posture

    Any ideas why our pullet would be standing like this? She's 5 months and we thought she may have laid her first egg yesterday, but we're not sure. I don't feel an egg, her crop seems normal and her belly isn't swollen. She's kind of crouching as she walks, but doesn't really want to walk much...
