    Eggbound, thoughts?

    Ok that's what I will do then. Her flock is only 1 other hen. Who could care less if she was there or not. She didn't seem to care at all that she was gone.

    Eggbound, thoughts?

    I have my year old RIR who hasn't laid 1 week. She was showing egg bound symptoms. I couldn't feel an egg, internally, or externally, but I'm a little nervous about pushing to hard as I don't want to break the egg if that's the case. I've soaked her in warm baths, did the steaming (put her on a...

    Lethargic hen, loss of appetite, standing in corner

    I'm at such a toss up with her right now! Today she was up and walking around. Tail up in the air. Seemed normal, and then went back to lay down under her heat lamp. I am lubricaring her vent every day and feeling inside but I don't feel an egg? her abdomen does feel slightly swollen. Also...

    Lethargic hen, loss of appetite, standing in corner

    Horse de-wormer. I was in a discussion a while back, and was told multiple times by multiple people that it was 1 ml of wormer per pound of body weights and that's what I've been doing for two years with no issues? Yikes, hope it's not causing harm. My hen is a little over a year. I notice she...

    Lethargic hen, loss of appetite, standing in corner

    My poor little girl "Red" has been like this now for 4-5 days. I don't know what is wrong with her. She has been standing in the corners all day, very small appetite, but still drinking water. She will not roost anymore, instead lays in crate with hay. It's only her and one other hen. They have...

    RIR hasn't laid in 4 days..acting lethargic.

    I felt around back there, and it felt firm, but I didn't necessarily feel an egg. I soaked her in Epsom salt bath for about 15 minutes because she wanted to get out after 15 minutes, but sat there perfectly through the whole thing on her own...I also put some lube in her vent. But almost...

    RIR hasn't laid in 4 days..acting lethargic.

    My 1 year old RIR hasn't laid in 4 days, and she is a regular layer. She seemed slow and lethargic this morning and was laying in the corner of the coop? Last time I saw this, I had a mite infestation, but I thoroughly checked and no mites! I've seen her trying to lay, but nothing. She has been...

    Chicken standing in the corner of the coop head tucked?

    I have not, I was crying hysterically as I'm a sap for my babies!! My best friends boyfriend said he would bury her for me and so that's what he did. She is buried next to her friend who was attacked by a raccoon

    Yes she has been wormed and treated for lice and mites. Turned out to be ascites. She was drained 2-3 times but I ended up losing her last night

    Chicken standing in the corner of the coop head tucked?

    No, she was not egg bound. She was still laying regularly! She seemed to be doing much better. She went out, free-ranged the last few days, started gaining weight, she started eating again and was doing really well! But I came in last night to find her curled up in her little basket under her...

    Chicken standing in the corner of the coop head tucked?

    Another update: I went to tube her some food when I realized she has a VERY full crop. She drank and ate lots of water and food while I was there! So her appetite is now back! However, and i just now noticed she has a very swollen Abdomen. What are the reasons for this?

    Chicken standing in the corner of the coop head tucked?

    I do see her drinking occasionly. Just not eating much. What do you suggest to tube feed her? Should I give her water through a syringe, and X amount of minutes/hours later syringe feed her with ??

    Chicken standing in the corner of the coop head tucked?

    Update: She still seems to be doing the same. She lost her appetite as of yesterday, but will nibble a little bite or two of treats and then gives up. I'm trying that quinoa rice tonight. It is an excellent source of iron so I'm hoping that perks her up. She has electrolytes in the water and a...

    Thanks!! I just brought her in to the coop. All the girls came in and she was still sitting outside soaking up the sun nibbling on some grass. She is still a little weak, but coming around! I exterminated the coop today!! Literally scrubbed that place top to bottom! All the nesting boxes and the...

    Chicken standing in the corner of the coop head tucked?

    I will p I will give her a heat lamp at night tonight. She has been outside all day today dust bathing and soaking up the sun. She almost seems now to be slowly coming around. She is still rather weak, but looks like things might be slowly turning around for her!!

    Chicken standing in the corner of the coop head tucked?

    as of this morning the coop and hens seem to be mite free! But my poor girl might not make it. She has officially lost her appetite and her legs And body seem very cold to me. She seems more comfortable but I'm just not sure if she will be able to pull through :(
