Thank you so much for your reply! The vet did some x-rays and ultrasound, and it turns out that she has some sort of mass most likely in her reproductive area that is pushing her gizzard and intestines down, that is what is causing the bulge- I attached a couple pictures for you to see...
Hi everyone! This is Stella- she’s 7 years old and a delaware. I noticed yesterday that it looks like her feathers were dragging, and I thought it was from sitting on a cracked egg or something, but then I went to wash her off this morning and noticed how squishy and swollen her abdomen was...
Hello! My 5 year old americauna is making these wheezy sounds and sneezing- I think she has something in her airway as it just started happening after I saw her taking a dust bath in my daughters sandbox- anything I can do? I gave her a bit of olive oil and massaged her throat already
Hi all! We don’t process our own birds but we buy frozen chicken breasts in bulk from a local farm, in the last box we bought all of the chicken breasts have these white spots on them. They were there before we thawed them, i’m taking them back to the shop today because it looks concerning but I...
Hello all! I have a 4 year old blue wyondotte who is looking under the weather- her poop looks as pictured, yellow and watery - is this a sign of anything?
Thank you so much for your response! When cut into it did not smell and cut like a hard cheese- looks like a big Chunk of cottage cheese, when opened it does have layers in it like an onion with what looks like a little hard boiled yolk
Hello! I just found this jelly blob/looks like cartilage that came out if one of my girls when she pooped. She is a 4 year old blue Wyandotte, shes as never had any health issues before . Does this look like a lash egg? Cause for concern? I attached several
Pictures, one before I touched it...
Yes, I have been researching that and I think one of the eggs she laid is definitely a last egg.
I just started her on some antibiotics so hopefully that helps.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
We had that implanted in one of our girls too last fall! We are in Texas and our vet told us it technically isn’t legal for poultry as there have been no studies on it but found some loopholes in the wording which allowed them to implant it. They just made sure to tell us that since there have...
Hello! Our sweet Stella is a Delaware and 3 years old. She had had reproductive tract issues for about 2 years. Her norm is to lay soft or rubbery eggs, usually from the roost bar overnight and I clean up the splatter in the morning. She has been to the vet several times, had blood work and x...
Thank you so much for your response and so sorry for your losses too :/ This will be our first chicken loss so I'm a mess- these girls are my babies and these 2 have been partners in crime for 3 years :/
Thank you for your insight! I think I may just bring her in to hang out before we have to go to the vet tomorrow so she can see her one last time and how sick she is :/
Thank you all for your replies- they do know that she is sick. We have had her inside syringe feeding her since Friday and just bring her out for a few minutes at a time throughout the day
Thank you for your reply- they know she is sick :/ we have been keeping her inside syringe feeding her...
...mate to "disappear"? Of do we need to show her passed body to the rest of the flock so they understand what happened?
Thank you for any input!
**editing to add she has been deteriorating since Friday and has been inside since then with a couple trips outside to visit her sisters a few...
Help please!
My almost 3 year old barred rock was not acting herself yesterday- she was making very raspy sounds so at first we suspected a respitory issue. We brought her inside and put vet RX on her beak throughout the day. She wasn't wanting to eat or drink so I made her some hard boiled...
So strange! But happy she is acting normal! I don't see a reason why it couldn't- ours does after she lays so makes sense.
I wonder is she just had a poop that she was struggling to get out?
I'd just keep an eye on her the next couple days!
