    Funny eye colour.

    Infact it looks like she’s always had the colouring. This is her at 7 weeks old

    Funny eye colour.

    The young hen 13 weeks has darkened patches in one eye and half of the other eye. Can see fine. Is it a disease?

    What on earth is this

    Thanks all. I got my husband to put her out of her misery this afternoon. So she is gone now. I knew my efforts would be in jest from all that I read it didn’t seem like the problem would resolve. There would be no way unfortunately for her we were prepared to do the implant and just have her as...

    What on earth is this

    My fears are confirmed this morning. Instead of being able to lay my poor chook has popped another egg inside of her. I think this will be the end for her. Poor love. Nothing I can really do for reoccurring internal laying.

    What on earth is this

    I really hope so!!! Cos I want her to have a happy life, she is more than an egg layer but a beloved pet. Yes, hubby checks with me too over larger purchases even though he is the one that is the bread winner. But sometimes I do feel like he thinks his role is more important than mine and that...

    What on earth is this

    I probably could not love this comment enough. I wish I got paid for what I do! She is still ok today though no eggs from her yet. I only want her to start laying as an indication that she won’t lay inside her again, Atleast for some time being

    What on earth is this

    Yep, never again. I guess you live and learn. And having four hens I don’t necessarily need all the eggs it was more the appeal of it being a garaunteed hen. The first two day old chicks we got were roosters and had to give them away. The next two I got were welsummers ( now 7 months old and...

    What on earth is this

    Well that was an interesting watch. Almost like watching someone get a major zit squeezed on YouTube :sick Looking at that hens belly, there’s no way my hen has water belly. It was never swollen much just red/purple but now nearing back to complete normal colour. (I don’t know why us aussies...

    What on earth is this

    Thankyou, I’m so glad all my efforts so far seemed to have paid off for the meantime. Her poops look completely normal today and the infection looks gone. Eating/drinking/acting well. Still no eggs though.. so am in this state of limbo over what is going to happen next.

    What on earth is this

    I did contemplate that, I guess I hold a lot of emotional guilt over not being at work. I have a baby and a toddler and have been a stay at home mum for three years so I earn very little. I know we are married and it’s not just his money. It would of been easier taking her to the vet instead of...

    What on earth is this

    Yep! I will never get hyline brown hens again. I had no idea that this sort of stuff happens to the chooks bred for egg production. I feel horrible for her. Humans are cruel. If she doesn’t start laying again normally and declines again I will just take her out of her misery. It’s been so full...

    What on earth is this

    Yes I’ve read how people drain it out with the syringe and I feel like for me that is way out of my depth. I don’t think I could do that. I’ve been feeling her belly and to me it doesn’t feel too different to perhaps how I think it should feel. I didn’t give her the frusemide tonight and...

    What on earth is this

    Today I’ve noticed purple/blue in her comb. Now I’m thinking it’s water belly (ascites) and there’s no cure for her :( In fact all prognosis’s look dreary. So yes it’s furosemide, it’s also called frusemide on the bottle ( got both names on it) ahh I gave her the smallest possible dose just to...

    What on earth is this

    She is doing a lot better today. I have taken her out of her tiny hospital coup and out into some sunshine and roaming space. Her abdomen is nearly rid of all red / purple. She is eating drinking and talking again. Her sister is very protective of her, pecking my hands when I was checking her...

    What on earth is this

    Perhaps the antibiotics I am giving her are working. She’s a whole lot perkier today. I’m in Australia so that baytril stuff would take Atleast three weeks to get here. I have her some frusemide last night. It might have worked her poops are a lot firmer today

    Update. She is a lot perkier today eating and drinking. Her poops have firmed up. Getting hopeful for her recovery

    What on earth is this

    The antibiotics I’m giving is one the pet store sold me, I’m sure it’s not even the proper one. Chloretracycline hydrochloride...I’ve messaged the vet ( on their website they state you can do so first before an appointment) asking them for antibiotics but am being ignored. If my chook is...

    What on earth is this

    Thanks, I’m a little mad too. Especially since we caught it early I’m going to be upset that we didn’t take her cos she could of survived ( if she passes away here) . Thanks for the advice. Appreciate it. I havnt massages her today cos I thought she would be sore. But I’ll do that tomorrow
