Well everyone, she is on the home stretch! She's acting totally normal, eating and drinking, and back in the coop with her sisters full time. She still has a lump on her head, but feathers are coming up everywhere they are supposed to and the skin is growing back nicely. I doubt she'll ever...

Hello everyone, I opted to not cut into her head anymore as I tried a few very small incisions and it was blood, I was unable to squeeze out any puss. I have been letting her be outside in the grass and she shows significant improvement both physically and mentally which in my personal opinion...

That's what I was afraid of as that's what I squeezed out of her eye socket for days. Ok here are some better photos. The feathers in that area just pulled up and off fairly easy in one piece with dried puss that has come out (that is what has been happening along this whole area), so there is...

They just feel like air. I'll wait on those a bit. After all of this time, this is honestly quite overwhelming particularly now that she's acting pretty normal but keeps having more issues coming up. What a learning experience! Her swollen head is really hard to the touch . The sinus surgery...

The string a needle method sounds easy enough. And yes this girl is seriously a fighter. We secured the coop with padlocks, and we move today, so will no longer have to worry about the coon - at least the one in this neighborhood. I'm actually starting to think it was a skunk instead because...

Yes all of the puss is out of her eye, (at least the socket) just in the top of her head I guess but there's no route for it to escape. It's coming through her pores but not quick enough I'm afraid. Unfortunately I don't have a vet here that I can take her to. The bump is just a piece of skin...

She's back on her second round of antibiotics and healing quite well except the swelling on her head is still very large. She is much more active, and eating and drinking on her own completely now. She's cleaning herself and scratching where her scabs are, so I am trying to be sure to keep...

I'm not sure if anyone is still following this thread.. but it's coming up on 3 weeks and Lucy is recovering, slowly but surely. We gave her 4 penicillin shots (1/day for 4 days), and that seemed to help. Her last one was a week ago, last Friday. Her infection is still draining albeit very...

Ul s Inject the Terramycin? I don't have a vet that will see her but I definitely think she needs some antibiotics working from the inside. Do you have a suggestion for over the counter antibiotics that could work internally? I'm really at a loss of what to do. It seems like she's getting...

I think she has Conjunctivitis. She has been on topical antibiotics for 2 days now and her eye is pushing a cheese-like puss out of it, and she is no longer oozing out of her nostril. She will drink water but not eat. Should I force food down her throat? Does anyone have experience with...

I just got the infection out of her eye, or as much as I could see in there. It was a huge clump and she was such a trooper. I then flushed it with a saline solution then regular water. I will try to find some oral antibiotics and the terramycin today. Her eye has already gone down half of...

Hello everyone, Lucy is improving! Slowly but surely. She's much more active and my neighbor had some Blue antibiotics that she sprayed on her for me. Her good eye is back to normal. She has more of an appetite, but still not a full appetite. I do have two new concerns though: The back of her...

Thank you everyone for the responses! As in no quality of life, just right now, it's so sad seeing her in that box just waiting to recover. But if and when she recovers, she will certainly go back to her old ways. She's already letting a little of her old sassy ways come through. Does...

My beloved Lucy was brutally injured by a raccoon 2 nights ago. I only have 3 hens and we heard the commotion and scared it away before it injured my other 2, but Lucy was in pretty bad shape - we found her laying lifeless, noticed she was breathing and thought we were going to have to put her...

Same with my girl...Not 100%, but much better. How do her legs look? Are they more scaley than usual or have elevated scales? She may have scaley leg mites. I would soak her legs in warm water with epsom salt, then gently brush them with warm (non-toxic) soapy water with an old toothbrush...

I had a sample of her droppings tested, and it all came back clear so that made me feel better. I also noticed some black spots on her legs, and I think she may have had a small case of bumblefoot developing. I brought her inside over the weekend as well to keep a better eye on her, and...

I've been watching her and I think she's constipated I haven't seen her poop. One of the girls has tar black droppings though.

My welsummer is about a year old and I've noticed a big change in her lately. Yesterday afternoon and this morning she was standing all puffed up but did not have any other evidence of being egg bound. She ate some yogurt and there was immediate improvement. However after a few hours, now she is...

I have 4 chicks that are around 6 weeks old, and two are starting to worry me that they are roosters. I have 2 wellsummer's, and 2 buff orpington's. The differences in the 2 of each breed is very noticeable.can anyone tell?
