    Cloudy water belly

    I’ve never thought about doing a necropsy. I don’t think I can do it without tears clouding my vision. I don’t know what I’d be looking for or what to detect microscopically. If I lose another, God forbid, I’ll take her to one of the two places I can go to. It’s offered free but I would...

    Cloudy water belly

    I’m sorry you had to go through that too. One of my chickens had too much sediment and I couldn’t pull any fluid out. Had the vet try and that’s when I saw the sediment. My second chicken had brownish fluid and it was a bit thickened but I could still pull out about 30 cc. If one died I could...

    Cloudy water belly

    There are two places I can take them for necropsies. If it happens again, I will do that. The vet won’t send them in. I would have to take them. I chose this time to have her watery diarrhea tested to make sure there wasn’t anything contagious that I should be aware of with my remaining girls.

    Cloudy water belly

    I took my girls in to a vet that sees chickens which I was told issues could be genetics, infection, etc but nothing about prevention. I’m an RN and try to fix problems and have been reading until I’m dizzy! I had a chicken in the past with water belly. I tapped her when it was necessary…got...

    Cloudy water belly

    I have had two chickens die within the last 3 months of quick onset of water belly that was cloudy. They got weak, wouldn’t eat or drink. No respiratory issues. I raised them from chicks and they were both about 2 1/2 yrs old. I had their fecal tested to make sure they didn’t have anything...

    Discolored egg tips

    I have a chicken that is laying discolored brown circles at the end of one side of an egg. It’s becoming more regular. Should I be concerned?

    Bumble foot changes

    The perch is more like a rail. Not round. No sharp edges.

    Bumble foot changes

    I’ve been treating my chicken with bumble foot for about a week or so. I thought the feet were healing (She has sores on the bottom of middle toes on both feet), but it looks like the swelling around the scab is getting hardened, like callous’s. She’s not lame and the scabs aren’t blackened...
