Yup. A lovely totally bald area on the chest/belly area. It's been about a week of this. Every time one of us would go in the coop she would fluff herself up and start talking at us from the nesting corner. She ate half the scrambled egg and knocked her food over. Was roosting when I went in to...

Ok. She's separated into an x pen in our shed. She can see the others and hear them. She's certainly very spry once out of the nest...flew out of the pen (4' sides) and we had to put a roof on it . She has a perch and food, water with vitamin power added and I'm going to take her a scrambled...

Oh and def no parasites externally. They were treated in spring as well with fenben and praziquantol.

I think she's an EE/orpx but I could be remembering wrong. Having lost a couple to egg yolk peritonitis in the last few years I've been checking for ascites and haven't noticed any. She def seems to have a yellow pallor to her abdominal skin when I checked.

Sounds like the smell might be necrotic (dead) tissue. Good luck...

Our approx 1.5-2yr old hen has been hiding in the nesting corner of the coop for about a week now. She sleeps there, lays there, spends the day there. We rarely see her out and she used to sleep on-top of the coop roof until this started. She's always been very vocal and bossy. I've checked her...

Here's a photo of her poop she did when I brought her in for a weigh in and mash with kefir She's up 500grams from a week ago which seems like a lot to me unless the tapes (if she actually had them) were really playing havoc on her. She ate half the mash I made and I'm fairly certain I feel...

Hello, I posted a week ago about my 2 yr old EE having green watery stools. We tested for parasites and decided to deworm her and 3 other ladies as we thought we saw tapeworm ova on a fecal float. So she came inside and her bum has cleaned up and is now fluffy when I check her. So far we have...

So she had some normal BM's yesterday and the night before so I opted to move her back out to the coop with the other 3. She immediately reestablished the pecking order and seemed quite happy. Her bum is fluffy, she's scratching and hanging with her ladies but I did notice more watery green poop...

Agreed!!! I'm really hoping this continues!

I haven't given any antibiotics! I was waiting till the kids were in bed and noticed her stools were getting better!

Well...I'm keeping everything crossed, but her stools seem to be thickening up! Still really green, but with occassional bits of brown.

You can still see eggs being shed microscopically.

We did a fecal float yesterday and saw possible tapeworm ova. I'm wondering if it's a lack of eating too. We did have a soft egg laid about 1-1.5 wks ago and have since assumed it was from he. We lost a bird last year to peritonitis, she was definitely lethargic, penguin a stanced and barely...

Hmmm. Ok. I tried palpating for an impacted crop and feel nothing odd. I'm not sure that she's eating her layer crumbles very readily, but she is eating treats.

Please help @casportpony ! I'm at a loss as of what to do next. I don't want to add metronidazole tablets to her care plan until I have your opinion.

I've got tablets kicking around from the dogs and I can get more of those. She's 2kg. 250 once a day or twice and can I crush and make a liquid? How the Hannah do you get one of those down a chicken throat?! Here's a fresh poop...

Here's a fresh one. She's happily eating mashed hard boiled egg with plain kefir added to it currently.

I'm not sure he would have the stains. He's a small practice, one dr one tech. He sends a lot of not most of his lab samples off to be tested.

Do you think metronidazole would be an ok option? Or should I find some penicillin? I've never had to treat one of my ladies before. I have a relationship with the clinic I locum at but he knows NOTHING about avians. Hah.
