    Hen down with twisted neck

    I just found my one year-old barnyard mix hen down with a twisted neck. She still has energy enough to flap and fight a whole lot when I picked her up but she looks pretty bad. She definitely can’t stand up or move. It looks like she’s had some loose stools May be a little yellowish white, no...

    Soft-shelled and no-shell eggs

    Update - she is back to her normal self, though as yet no egg. But also no funny poops or other discharge. I'm still going to give Ca+D3 for a few days, but it seems like she has recovered. Thanks all for the questions and recommendations.

    Soft-shelled and no-shell eggs

    Thanks for the further info / links. I'll keep watching for her eggs; I've been giving calcium for 3 days now. I have chicks with the flock, so not feeding layer at the moment - everyone is getting an 18% feed, no calcium added, but there is oyster shell available.

    Soft-shelled and no-shell eggs

    No other lash eggs, no bloating or respiratory issues. I'll see about pictures tomorrow. I turned her out this evening and her energy level seems normal again. I'll separate her again tomorrow and continue watching. Thanks!

    I have a golden commet, probably 2yrs old, could be 3. She seemed a little lethargic the other night, and she had a bit of discharge - mostly clear but a little white. I did an empsom salt soak and not long after she passed a soft-shelled egg. Then I was feeding her some yogurt and she passed...

    Lethargic hen, watery poop with black and white

    So here's the update, but I won't bury the lead - she didn't make it. She had not laid an egg in the time that I isolated her, but I also don't know how regularly she was laying - she was one of my older Golden Commets (I estimated 2-3, but she could have been 4), so I expect she had slowed...

    Lethargic hen, watery poop with black and white

    Golden Commet, 2-3 yrs old I noticed she was lethargic and had a droopy comb Sunday. Gave her an epsom salt soak, isolated her, provided water with electrolytes and oil of oregano. Reduced appetite - shows initial interest and will eat (scrambled egg, corn meal mush) but loses interest and has...

    10wk chick with pulled/splayed legs, curled toes

    This chick got picked up when her legs were tangled in something, and the best I can say is that it must have pulled or torn something. Nothing broken that we could feel, but tender to touch at the top of the thigh. I isolated her and it seemed like she was getting better, but then off and on...
