Thanks for checking! She does seem to be getting better...she's been coming out of the coop much more quickly in the mornings and walking around the yard and scratching a lot more. I still think she's worn from her ordeal but seems better.

Well so far she's still hanging in there...she came out of the coop much quicker this morning and was more active in the run. I think she may have laid a shell-less egg out in the run yesterday evening. I put some kefir out this morning and all the hens were working on that including the sickly...

Yeah - sounds like she's been laying under the coop today so I'm afraid we may be in the same boat as your hen. Thanks for the response and sorry you lost a hen :(

Our hen was acting more normal yesterday evening - she was out scratching and pecking with the rest of the flock although she did lay down to take a rest after a little while doing that. She didn't want to come out of the coop again this morning - I'm pretty sure she did lay an egg this morning...

Most of the time it's prohibitively expensive for a backyard flock owner to pay a vet to look at a chicken (that is if you can even find a vet that specializes in avian illness). It's a hard choice but investing $200-300 for a chick just doesn't make sense. That's why these forums are so helpful...

I felt her abdomen yesterday evening and it didn't feel hard...also checked her vent yesterday evening and it didn't appear inflamed. She doesn't seem extremely ill - just enough off to make me concerned.

I have a Delaware hen probably 1-2 yrs old (our flock was purchased together from someone else) and she's been acting sick since yesterday. It took her a long while to come out of the coop yesterday and she stayed in the egg box most of that time. We gave her 2 warm water baths (the second with...

I'm a newbie to the forums so bear with me...I'm posting here since I live in Middle Tennessee. I am looking for a home for a cockerel we can't keep - we're inside the city limits of Franklin, TN and it's against code to keep roosters (that and we cringe every time he crows thinking it's only a...
