I am in California how would you do something like that?

Well she passed this morning, but she waited for me to check on her and say goodbye; took her last breath as I was stroking her head. Attached is just a sample of what I got out of her last night, it turned brown over night but it started a creamy white color and was spongy and flaky.

I will take some pictures of what I got out of her throat tomorrow and post it, so hopefully someone can tell me what it is and how to treat it if any of my other girls get it

so, i checked on her before we went to bed and she didn't look like she was breathing and on her side. I figured since she was probably going to die, I would open her mouth and check it out to give her every effort I could to live. I found her throat and trachea blocked with something creamy...

I cleaned her sick pen up when I put her outside in the shade today, so no photos of her poop, but it was mainly water with a white creamy middle. She has really gone down hill and I think she will be gone by morning, so I don't want to bother her for pictures. She did have a bad smell and I...

I noticed one of our hens not eating and lethargic after going through a broody spell. I kept an eye on her and noticed that she would come running when I gave the other girls a treat, but she would just look at the food and would pick at the food but not pick it up. A chicken farmer in my...

Well, I awoke this morning to an egg; yahoooo! Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. I am keeping her separated fo a couple more days with the additional calcium routine Thanks again, I appreciate it

thanks all, Still no egg-she is eating and drinking and I was able to get a Tums down her yesterday afternoon by crushing and spreading it over a cut up persimmon. I will get some calcium tablets today based on Eggcessive's comment on the taste of the Tums. should I be giving her a special diet...

She's waddling a bit, but definitely better than day before yesterday. She is eating and drinking. Her tail is still pointed down but she isn't stopping just to lay down trying to poop. She didn't like the eggs with the Tums, so I tried crushing a Tums in with some yogurt and laying crumbles...

now I'm wondering if she has ascites, she was swollen when I gave her the last soak. I'm going to soak her in a minute and pay attention if its soft or hard

still no egg today. She seems more energetic, eating and drinking but she is still dragging her tail.

I bake and crush their egg shells and fed her some crushed shell with yogurt mixed in her feed and some cilantro. Do you mean mixing some Tums with scrambled eggs? Her last egg was day before yesterday.

Eggs have been normal and I may have put my finger in about an inch into the vent. I did inject some mineral oil as well

when I let the girls out to roam in the yard, she barely waddled around and wanted to squat down like she was trying to poop or something. her tail his pointed down. After viewing youtube videos of egg bound chickens, she fitted the profile. She is eating today and about 8 months old (Cuckoo...
