    Water Belly Fluid is Milky Yellow not Clear Yellow

    Thanks for the link. I figured it was a heart problem until I pulled the fluid. Then I thought internal laying. She's on antibiotics and we will keep draining her to keep her comfortable.

    Water Belly Fluid is Milky Yellow not Clear Yellow

    We drained with a needle this morning about 70 mls from one of our Andalusian Blues belly that has fluid in it. All of what I have read and seen on YouTube is a clear yellow liquid. Her liquid was milky yellow, like watered down pale yellow yolk. Can anyone tell me what the difference is and...

    how to nourish hen w/ impacted crop

    If she is sour and you think the contents are liquid enough for her to throw it up you should try again to throw her up. You might have to add some water to her crop like they do in the video. Your are going to have to turn her upside down 3-4 times and massage her crop firmly to get her to...

    how to nourish hen w/ impacted crop

    See how she does after this massage. When they stretch their necks it is because food and fluid is coming up and they are trying to keep it down. I found a great video on youtube "How to clear an impacted crop". They use a chicken that isn't impacted so they don't get her to throw up...

    how to nourish hen w/ impacted crop

    If you decide the crop is getting liquidy you can try to throw her up. I would suggest watching some youtube videos of people doing this before you try it. You need to be sure that they don't aspirate the fluid. Also, when you massage you should be holding the hen with your left hand/arm and...

    how to nourish hen w/ impacted crop

    The two hens we have had hard impactions with are food monsters, so they will keep eating if allowed and the impaction won't stop them.

    how to nourish hen w/ impacted crop

    If it is hard and not fermenting you can just massage her with oil. Do not throw her up unless it is fermenting (gassy, smelly crop smells). Use the mass to help massage. You can squeeze it and try to spread it out a little. I will say that I think it is imperative that you separate her out...

    About to give up on droppings shelf

    I have tried it all. The poop trays I did with sweet pdz. Seemed more hassle than help so I took them out. Now I am back at the liter method with shavings. I keep a separate compost bin for my shavings separate from my house scraps. You can use it in your garden you just have to let it sit...

    how to nourish hen w/ impacted crop

    Always important to offer water. They might not drink it, but it should be offered. I would suggest massaging with oil instead of water though.

    how to nourish hen w/ impacted crop

    We have dealt with impacted crop successfully in a few of our birds. If it is solid (ours was like a baseball), you should massage regularly giving them olive oil a the same time. Use the mass to push and move the blockage through. I would not feed her for at least a day or two until you see...

    Aspiration of Olive Oil

    Yes, and they free range and eat a lot of grit. She is prone to this as it has happened before and massage and olive oil did the trick. I am not worried about unblocking her crop right now as there is progress with pooping, but I am worried about her slight gurggle from the aspiration of the...

    Aspiration of Olive Oil

    My chicken has a hard blocked crop and I have been giving her olive oil and massaging regularly yesterday and today. Today when I got home from work there was some progress. Some pooping and the crop seemed smaller. I gave her a little bit of olive oil with a syringe and was massaging her...

    Tying Wings instead of clipping them

    I think we have decided to clip one of her wings and see how that goes. Her sister who is very much like her but older was flighty when she was little but after awhile got a little fatter and stopped flying. We were hoping she would do the same, but she hasn't fattened up yet.

    Tying Wings instead of clipping them

    Not to her body, to themselves. Bundle them up and tie them. I think this used to be done regularly. Wondered if people do this still.

    We are big huggers. He hold our girls when they are little and most of them are used to being held and loved. Some of the flightier jungle girls aren't as warm and fuzzy, but she is the worst! Doesn't want to be held. Will stand in the middle of three pieces of watermelon being eaten by the...

    Are all Wyandottes Prissy

    I don't mean to offend anyone, but I have a SLW and she is such a prissy princess that I have not really been interested in getting any other Wyandottes. Today I purchases a Blue Wyandotte chick and I am hoping she is not like the SLW. I know I am asking for a lot of hate mail, but I will...
