    Chicken is unwell and has very swollen abdomen

    Red Chooky is still travelling along. She finished her antibiotics 4 days ago. 3 days ago she seemed a bit better then yesterday seems to improve even more, but today she seems to have gone backwards a bit. I got the superlorin injection so will be able to give it to her tomorrow, but I'm...

    Chicken is unwell and has very swollen abdomen

    Red Chooky is still going along ok. She's not great but has improved slightly. I leave it up to her if she wants to spend her days with the other chickens. If she doesn't, I put her in her large coop to protect her. She's nearly finished her course of antibiotics. I'm looking at giving her...

    Chicken is unwell and has very swollen abdomen

    I have good news for Red Chooky - she made it back home! I was so happy to get the news that she was back. She was x-rayed and her abdomen was palpated. They couldn't see or feel anything abnormal in her abdomen. Apparently she has Air Sacculitis and has been given some antibiotics to take -...

    Chicken is unwell and has very swollen abdomen

    Red Chooky is off to the vets for an x-ray and an aspirate of any abdominal fluid. I've said my goodbyes just in case... Her owner is dropping her off. I hate leaving them there with a bunch of strangers doing scary things to them. ❤

    Chicken is unwell and has very swollen abdomen

    Thank you for your kind words, Wyop Rocks. I had heard about the injections, but I was concerned about what might happen if it stops working before she has the next injection and she ovulates. I will check out the links.

    Chicken is unwell and has very swollen abdomen

    It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that Charcoal Chooky went to Rainbow Bridge today. I had asked her owner if I could take her to the Bird Vet quite a distance away as she started to have slightly laboured breathing. I was going to drain her abdomen but thought I had best get permission...

    Chicken is unwell and has very swollen abdomen

    Update: Red Chooky seems to be going ok. She spent most of the day out with the other ladies as it was a nice day. Charcoal Chooky is no better and no worse. I gave her a warm bath and she spent some time in the sun but I put her away when I had to leave as the geese would pick on her. Tonight...

    Chicken is unwell and has very swollen abdomen

    Hi Wyorp Rock, thanks for your advice. I'm fairly certain that the crops are emptying. They are not eating much and they haven't really had much in them the whole time. I'm presuming that because I can't feel much that they're emptying. The swollen, doughy abdomen area I am referring to is at...

    Chicken is unwell and has very swollen abdomen

    Hi ChattyChickens4Life, Thanks for that info. Their crops appear to be quite empty. They are eating but not much. Sometimes they seem to have a small amount in them and sometimes the seem empty. I check on them twice a day at the moment. I should have been more clear about their abdominal...
