I can feel the egg. Her feathers are fluffed out, she isn't moving around like the other hens and her butt is really poopy. I watched a youtube video that said to soak her in a warm epsom salt bath, which I did. She is in a cage in the garage where it is quiet and darker. I put extra calcium on...

He is doing wonderful and enjoying time with his ladies. Thank you everyone so much for the support and care to get him well. It is very much appreciated. BTW he is still an aloof little twit. It is like he never even had any time where he needed me. Ungrateful boy!

I have 5 horses. This is my riding horse, Nino. Registered AQHA gelding, 12 yrs old

I keep my girls in a chicken tractor during garden season. When the sun gets low enough that the roof and nesting boxes of the tractor no longer give shade, I will let them out to forage grasshoppers in the hayfield. (Which is hilarious to watch, BTW) After their fill of giving chase to eat...

OK, it has been 12 days, he is standing up straight, eating and drinking by himself and the wattles are drying up where they've turned black. It is a sunny 28* day with a 10 MPH wind. Do you think it is OK to let him sit outside with his girls for the afternoon as long as theyre not pecking him?

It does smell a little, is that normal, too?

I've been doing what everyone had mentioned. Do I need to get some penicillin?

I put one hen in with him. He was a happy boy.

Oh, yes. His whole depression lifted, he was like a different bird the moment he heard his girls.

My rooster is eating when I help him stand up straight. He is drinking his electrolytes the same way. Finally have normal looking droppings, more frequently, too. His wattles are starting to slough skin and they smell a little. I've been spraying them every few hours with the vetericyn spray...

Yes, I did get the vetericyn, spray him with it but I have to be careful not to drown the poor guy, it runs down his wattles and with his beak between then when he drops his head isn't good.

He does drop his head. I give him a baby aspirin am and pm. Right? He sure loves the cherry flavor!

My roo is doing much better today. His wattle is not as swollen and he's eating hard boiled egg with my help and drinking fluids much better. He will be in the heated shop for at least another week.

We tried.

He can't eat or drink because of his waddles. I have to syringe him fluids.

Can anyone tell me how many mL of electrolytes he needs to keep hydrated?

We tried poking and draining and we actually syringed some out. Poor guy.

The first photo is before draining, the second is after. We got about 3 mL out. Kind of disappointed the swelling isn't gone and he still can't hold his head up.

We need a LOVE button :love
