Hello!
I have a hen (1 1/2 years old bantam Cochin) that cannot lay a good egg anymore. She lays soft shells or just the whites and yolk, and no matter how much calcium she gets it doesn’t get better. She gets very lethargic before she need to “lay” and clearly in some pain, and I just want her...
Hello and first of all sorry for my not good English language.
The story is very very long...
I have a problem with one of my ducks.Female,Mallard,8 years old,weight-2,330kg.The duck had problems with egg yolk peritonitis for maybe 2-3-4years till now,but the problems are not quite big.
The...
Sorry, I wasn't real clear on my response. No Suprelorin is the brand name of the Deslorin implant , I was trying to point out there are other options like pregesterone implants that do the same thing.
The Suprelorin implant shouldn't be the only option if they changed the label on that particular brand. My vet initially used to give my Khaki a progesterone implant of a different brand before switching to the Suprelorin implant by Virbac because I used to be able to get them cheaper online...
Is chicken eggs eatable after Suprelorin Implant wears off?
My Isa Brown hen had her 1st SuprelorinImplants at 3 years of age. It wore off after 5 months, she was back laying massive 6 eggs a week.
August 2024 She got 2nd SuprelorinImplants, today being October 2024 she is back laying egg...
...who is ten years old. She has lived alone since early 2020, and she lives in a hutch. She does not lay eggs any more because of suprelorinimplants that she has to receive from a vet every five or six months.
This week, this hen has started to routinely crow like a rooster early in the...
There are people who would love to have a crowing hen for the novelty but some would like her for the wrong reason ( they hate their neighbors)I hope you can find her a new home if the noise is bothersome .It would be a shame to kill her when so many people would adore her
Short question : has anyone had a hen start laying again a few eggs once the implant wears off, then stop ?
Longer story:
Our hen Laure was implanted on the 17 august 2024 , at only 15 months old.
She had been laying soft shells or shell-less eggs very painfully for a month and we were worried...
Here are the few online information I read.

Well, we are now five months on, and Pluisje's Suprelorin implant has finally stopped working. Unfortunately, she has kicked off her new laying cycle by 'laying' a blob of albumen and blood. I will call the vet on Monday about getting her another implant.
The good: in the five months since she...
I'm not sure if Suprelorin would break the broodiness or just stop the egg laying.

So she has been given eggs and they've hatched and she still didn't snap out of it?
Have you put her in a bin of cool...
If it is a reproductive issue, I will help you. It is unfortunate, but I have been through this many times because I have a rescue with many production breed hens. Despite what some may say, there is a lot of hope and treatments. @Debbie292d, two of my hens with confirmed EYP had pasty butt...
I found this:
Suprelorin is a brand name implantation system for deslorelin acetate. Administered under the skin, this rice grain-sized implantation prevents specific hormones from being released in a hen’s body, which prevents eggs from being produced.
So it would prevent problems such as...
Your last sentences brought tears to my eyes! I feel you are doing the Lord’s work, too, and am so grateful there are people like yourself who dedicate themselves to helping animals in need.
Based on our interaction, I was compelled to find a vet and get her the help she needs before things go...
Hey! I drafted letter to my congressmen and the FDA regarding this implant, and I started a petition on Change.org. I’d love for you to read through it and consider signing.

Got it. Thanks for clarifying! My regular vet is two hours away and wouldn't discuss the other options AT ALL without me being in person. I ended up at another, also two hours away....who did Deslorin. Hopefully can keep that going for now. I wish there was someone within my city but none carry...
I'm sorry that she's starting to have troubles again. Hopefully the Vet can give another implant soon.
Thank you for the update, let us know how she's getting along and if you are able to have her seen.
Here is the search page to look at some articles and there are several people in the states who have gotten them through vets off label for chickens:
