    I’m so happy to hear that your hen did well and is still with you! Ours sadly passed on Wednesday 😞. It’s been a very sad week for us. We lost a different hen on Sunday…. I’m really hoping we don’t lose another one!

    Thank you for posting this. She sadly passed this morning - I'm thankful she didn’t suffer for a long time. I’m really hoping that whatever she and our other hen had isn’t contagious. I wasn’t ready to lose two of our sweet hens this week :-(. Thanks again for all your help.

    Just curious about what happened to your hen? The same thing is happening to our hen right now and I think she is in the process of dying 😔

    We took her to the vet today to see what was going on. She is not egg bound but the vet thought she could have possibly had an internal laying because of the color of her poo. They gave her an antibiotic, diuretic, and NSAID for pain but since we’ve gotten home she has been extremely lethargic...

    This is super helpful. Thank you so much!! I have put her in a dark, quiet room and will check on her again in the morning. I really appreciate your help!

    Here’s a photo - it’s a little blurry and I couldn’t get my camera to work but this is what the area looks like. You can see the redness on her skin. Her poo is very liquid and runny - she hasn’t been able to really poop much since we brought her in the house though. She seems like she just...

    I did that! I soaked it in water for a bit to soften it up and then gave it to her…. We have her in a bin right now for the night. I am really concerned about her though. I’ve done multiple epsom salt soaks now and she actually started preening herself for a bit. I’m hoping that she can relax...

    Ok I stuck my finger up there with a glove but only got to my first knuckle…. I didn’t want to hurt her and I’ve never done this before. I didn’t feel anything but she is definitely trying to pass something now that I did that - nothing is coming out still. I tried to give her some bits of tums...

    Thank you! I put her in some warm water to clean her up and I think I can feel an egg in there. Could she have an impacted egg? I’m gently massaging her abdomen in hopes it will come out…. I really hope she doesn’t die 😭
