    She had a vitamin B2 deficiency when she was still a chick Both her feet were bent inwards and she was walking on her “knuckles”, if you could call it that haha We’ve treated her with anti-inflammatories, and her feet have mostly gone straight again Unfortunately the left foot never got...

    Hi everyone - just a little update She went into surgery today, and they thought that it was a rotten egg, but turns out that her stomach content went rotton, and there was no egg. Her stomach was full of grass and dirt and so on, which eventually fermented Crazy! So she had her stomach...

    I don't know what to do.

    Wish I saw this thread earlier! Is your chicken still doing okay? The foot going inwards happened to my hen when she was young - it’s a vitamin B2 deficiency. Try to find some anti-inflammatories, and her foot will most likely go back to normal. You could even buy some vitamin B2 capsules for...

    Mortality rate in treatment of egg bound chicken

    That’s exactly what I thought too. But i’m guessing that egg bound hens usually die due to not being able to poop? But my hen is still able to - extremely weird I did try to manoeuvre the egg (or whatever it is at this point) down towards her vent. Her vent does start moving like when a chicken...

    Mortality rate in treatment of egg bound chicken

    Unfortunately this is the only avian vet we have here :hit The thing with this egg - we think it might have been stuck there for quite a while, upwards of a month. The vet said that on the x-ray, it seems like the egg got a crack, and then a “new” thicker shell formed over that part. And the...
