Athlete's foot ointment or women's vaginal yeast cream will do. The way we work things here is to suggest things to treat what appears to be a likely issue since it's impossible to diagnose from the internet. By trying a treatment and seeing if it makes a difference, you will be ruling out that...
Has she started to lay? Have you checked her crop? Do your chickens dig in a compost pile where spoiled food is tossed? What is your location and current weather?
What is your location and climate? Are you in a sub tropical region? Has it been warm and wet?
My first guess is that your chickens are developing a fungus called favus. It can be treated with an anti-fungal lotion or ointment.
She should have 250mg twice a day for seven to ten days. Give her sugar in her water, as well, to elevate her glucose. If you can find Poultry Nutri-drench, that's a great supplement for sick chickens.
Your hen is very sick and very weak. I agree with @Lillith37 she probably needs an antibiotic, a broad spectrum strong one like amoxicillin. Unfortunately, you can no longer buy it over the counter. You will need to go through a vet to get it. You should probably also try to get a tube feeding...
You have a hen with an unknown issue. It will require a couple of days to identify what could be the problem and then more time to treat for the possibilities. You have the option of asking your neighbor if they want to work with us here at BYC or not. If the neighbor is fully on board with...
I'm sad over this news. Yes, you have two choices to find out what was going on inside the hen. First thing to do is chill her body, do not freeze, in the refrigerator while you decide.
Next, you can locate an animal testing lab to get a necropsy or you can decide to open her abdominal cavity...
I would say she's having a problem passing an egg. The poop points to it, the posture points to it, the closed eyes point to distress, and her recent laying history points to it. Give her a calcium tablet immediately. Do not crush it or dilute it. Give whole. Ideally, give her calcium citrate...
Did she aspirate the liquid? Did she choke when you poured it into her beak? Is she breathing with a troubling gurgling sound?
There is a way to give liquids without risking aspiration, but pills can be given to chickens without going to all the trouble of crushing them and putting them into a...
This is a reason why fixing up a safe enclosure within your run is so useful. It protects the injured or sick chicken for a few weeks while they heal. They don't have to compete for food and water while having their own protected space. As seen below, the flock can still interact with a chicken...
It's okay to have your own beliefs. It's stops being okay when you think everyone else must also have those beliefs. Just something to keep in mind when we are sharing our ideas about chicken keeping with one another.
No. Only two ways to diagnose cancer tumors. One is by treating the symptoms to see if they will improve. If they don't, then you would assume cancer. Then, when the chicken dies, opening up the chicken will tell you for sure it's cancer if you see hundreds of chick pea size tumors on the...
It's not pleasant to consider, but he may have tumors that are causing his problems. If in spite of all you've done, he doesn't get any better, tumors could be the reason.
Taken all together, it adds up to a probable stuck egg suddenly breaking loose and sliding out. The crisis may be only half over, however. Often, two eggs back to back are involved. So there may still be an egg that has to come out. To help her get it out, give her a calcium tablet, preferably...
Double the dose of the vitamin E and give it with egg to help him absorb it better. If no improvement, increase the E to twice a day.
If he's weak, his glucose may be low. Give him a cup of water with one teaspoon sugar dissolved in it to drink. If it's extremely hot, add a pinch of salt and...
I use one capsule of stool softener at a time. Try to space them 12 hours apart or one per day. You should need to do it for more than two days. I that fails to break up the blockage, you may need to do crop surgery.
