Hi all,
We're the owners of 3 x 2-year-old Rhode Island Reds here in WA.
Of the 3 hens, one has always been on the slightly smaller side (but not by much), and we suspect, not quite as frequent a layer, but there have been instances from time to time, where we've opened the coop to 3 fresh...
Hey everyone,
Yet another chicken dilemma. I just happened to come across one of my red sex link hens looking like she had to poo, so just to see how she's doing, I decided to watch and see what her situation was. I didn't think she was sick or anything but she was just trying to lay an egg and...
So I found this gross rubbery lump in the nesting box. It bled a little when I squished it. It's plausible that it could be a lash egg.
We don't have a roo, all of our birds seem healthy (including our 5 year old Australorps), and we've been feeding them fermented feed to cut down food waste.
I feared the day I would find a lash egg Salpingitis in my chicken coop. Well this morning I found a rubbery mass the size of a redskin potato on my poop tarp. I have 12 hens and I do not know which hen did it! I have a suspicion but not 100% sure.
I called numerous vets, posted on other vet...
Hi all, I have been using backyard chickens for a long to view others posts to try to diagnose my girl but I cannot seem to figure out the specific combination of my chicken's symptoms.
We are in an area without a chicken vet so doing this all on our own so any help is appreciated. She is one of...
...squatting again a couple weeks ago and today I found her in a nesting box trying to lay an egg. I found what appeared to be another lasheggs 😩. This one is much more yellow in appearance than the one she laid last year so I thought I’d post a picture of it on here to confirm it is a lash...
Not sure if this is a lash egg. It's one of my ameraucana pullets, she has only laid 2 or 3 other eggs so far. And then she laid this today. It's not hard, its very squishy. Just look weird and I've never dealt with lasheggs before
so one of my hens laid this link 5 minutes ago. she's been standing in one spot, and then this came out. it's cream colored and slimy looking, but quite frankly I'm too afraid to touch it lol. she's been laying eggs though, and isnow walking around. what is this ?
My 3-year-old Brahma hen, Seana, has been having some reproductive tract issues (funky weak-shelled eggs) for over a year now. Just last week I found her standing in the corner of the coop facing the wall, looking droopy and pale, and having yellow-tinged poops. I brought her into the hospital...
...yesterday and started treating with monistat. This morning I thought things were looking better, but this evening I just found what appears to be a lash egg in her pen. Feels rubbery.
She has been eating and drinking, and really doesn't look off. Any ideas? Will lasheggs create a discharge?
...all young and just beginning to lay. All our eggs have been normal and hard healthy shelled. No one is acting differently but reading about lasheggs is really stressing me out. Could this be a lash egg? Or could it be a hiccup from a new laying hen? Today only one hen laid and it was a...
3 year old hen is lethargic, won't eat. I gave her an Epsom soak, electrolytes & "fire" water. She just pooped and it looks like a tiny lash egg came out w the poop? Can this happen? How should I treat?
Hi, all! I found this gross little nugget in the nesting box today. At first I thought it was maybe a lash egg, but it’s solid bloody tissue. It literally looks like a beet. It does not smell. I know we have several viruses running through the flock. Any chance this could be a tumor that...
I have a hen that is laying these ooey gooey looking “eggs”. From what I have read about lasheggs, this kind of looks like one but not really. I have the hen that I suspect is laying these isolated. I have seen something similar to this hanging out of her vent before and we had to extract it...
Hey, my girl Poppy's been under the weather for the past few days. Yesterday, she stayed put in the nesting box. Her belly was swollen - not massively so, but enough to be noticeable when I touched it - and she seemed like she was trying to lay and couldn't. No penguin walking/sitting, though...
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
French Black Copper Maran, 8 weeks old
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
Seems normal
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?
Pooped this out this morning
4) Are other birds...
Here's a video of when she laid the egg. You can see some discharge, then the "lash egg," piece of shell, and egg white.
I poked it open with a stick.
She was lethargic yesterday after what looked like she had eaten her egg. I didn't catch when she laid it, but I can see her head go out of...
Hello!
My girl's been offer game recently and hasn't laid in quite a few weeks. I found a weird shell in the coop run yesterday... And today this. This is the first time she's laid an actual egg in probably 2 months. The attached stuff is kind of squishy. Anyone seen this? Acting eating and...
I have a hen (1 1/2 year old bantam Cochin) who suddenly last week went to lay an egg, instead spewed nasty green diarrhea, and hasn’t been right since. She has been to the vet twice, worms and bacteria. I worked the flock, she is on amoxicillin. She went back to normal but then down hill again...
