    Sick … :( maybe wry??????

    @Wyorp Rock - she seems to be much better!! Wary of those kidneys, and also that she just seems to be done-ish with eggs? I didn't end up giving her more than 3 pills I don't think. She just got better and better. Now she stands tall. Not full of spit and vim as sometimes, but definitely fine...

    BO gaping - fenbendazole?

    Yes, thank you for asking. I have to get the phone in the meantime I have done the following: Cleaned up the buff orpington, soaked her in epsoms, gave her 1.5 mg. She really settled down, sort of liked her spa treatment drying regimen (I bought a hair dryer recently to defrost a fridge and it...

    BO gaping - fenbendazole?

    I found my old post and @casportpony recommendation that I had followed: 50mg/kg x5 dosing, and that’s what I started. Even though it’s the middle of the day! Her breathing is a little labored but not gaping now! I think I’ll do this with all of them…

    BO gaping - fenbendazole?

    I have the goat formulation (liquid). I have a video can’t seem to upload… But cool she’s sleeping now…. Gave bath with epsom and the reason I was bathing them all is bc poopy butt but prolly they all have worms… :(. In SoCal, it’s hot water runs on the soil and prolly worms just come up too.

    BO gaping - fenbendazole?

    Hi - I have a 5yo hen that’s gaping . I think fenbendazole may not be ideal right? But that’s what I have . She’s 7 pounds (wet). Dose please? Other suggestions?

    Sick … :( maybe wry??????

    Thank you @azygous. How to get calcium regularly into a chicken who seems either not to absorb it routinely or just to avoid it. I keep eggshells and - literally - three forms of Ca out there for them! I've never seen her snooping around and taking the "wild type" but I'm sure she could and I...

    Sick … :( maybe wry??????

    Hi Wyorp. What I feed - what's working well is ScratchNPeck mash in a treadle feeder at will. Then they pick through that for the goodies. Which I presume, like toddlers, is where the nutrition is? So I reserve the leftover fines when I change that and the twice daily give them a...

    Sick … :( maybe wry??????

    Great to know, thank you. But then what would I taper off to as good regular background amount. I think it's long been clear she just doesn't get enough calcium for whatever reason. How much would you give an older chicken for health-maintenance?

    Sick … :( maybe wry??????

    My Spelty is so much better; thank you! She was on a straight upward trajectory and hasn't looked back. She is no longer puffy and swollen, she runs up and announces her enthusiasm for food; she is her old self. Thank you!! I will keep up the calcium. Is it possible to give too much calcium?

    Sick … :( maybe wry??????

    Tomorrow probably ... I'll check whether I happened to get a good-enough one but I'll definitely get one tomorrow. Thank you!

    Sick … :( maybe wry??????

    You're so sweet and amazing to be such a resource, and such a caring one at that @Wyorp Rock ! She seems to be doing better I hope!? No miraculous turn-around. But I got a calcium into her, gave her some vitamin water, and let her zone out in the chicken hospital a while. She eventually stood...

    Sick … :( maybe wry??????

    Ok found this helpful thread from @Wyorp Rock as usual, lol! Going to stuff a calcium, cure-all in her. If her head didn’t keep turning lightly (not violently) sideways I’d believe it’s not so bad but… she’s definitely perked up from her bath, uncurled her feet. …tail feathers straight up. Comb...

    Sick … :( maybe wry??????

    Loving her time in the hospital and the new hair dryer I bought to defrost the fridge has come in handy!!! Also gross white-yellow goo coming from inside, pulsing vent, labored breathing. Thank you for any wisdom!!!

    Sick … :( maybe wry??????

    Hi - my chicken has been unwell for 2 days. She’s now soaking in a warm bath. Lethargic, a little clumsy. Swollen abdomen and swollen crop. Yesterday morning she smelled bad, ok now. This morning her neck sort of crooked like you see I. The picture. But she’s not incapable of uncorking it, this...
