Well, actually that an odd story. I called this mobile vet (no one in my area would check her)...he said that she wasn’t really ready to be euthanized, so he gave an anti worm med, vitamin shot and took blood. I have had her here, now in a bathroom, force-feeding for three days now . At his...
Hi Ol.....
I have a five (now almost 4) chicken flock and live in Portland, Multnomah County. I have an entire fenced-in yard for the chickens, a coup/house and an apiary. The girls are; Buffy(Buff Orphington/EasterEgger, Dot (Wyandotte), Gilly (Wyandotte) Ruthie (Australorp) and Nellie (the...
Hello there,
Nellie is about four and five years I believe (I inherited her with my house) and I am not sure when her last egg was laid, she has four other sisters. They were not hand raised but she allows me to hold and check her. Her poop is runny and was green but now is yellow.
Hi everyone,
Just an update to Nellie's condition. She doesn't want to be touched, doesn't want to walk outside her cage. She's eaten some slivers of cantelope and one gulp of water. That's it. Is she dying? Can I do anything else to make her feel comfortable? How long does she have?
Well, here's an update. I managed to smear some yogurt on her beak and all of a sudden she stood up and started cackling...She walked out of her cage and devoured a bunch of sunflower seeds. Didn't want water, and after a few minutes, she pooped again and walked into her cage.....chickens!
well, here I am, back from the market... I tried the yogurt, rubbing some on her beak. She tasted it, stood up and pooped. Not wanting anymore yogurt, but maybe later..
I also felt her crop and there was nothing hard or squishy...crossing my fingers
sigh
My lovely Australorp, Nellie, is in a dog crate in my home office. As advised, I separated her from her sisters after she was limping and being pecked about. She hasn't pooped since I moved her, hasn't eaten; this morning I tried to hand feed her fresh scrambled eggs. Was not have any of this...
I became a chicken person when I bought my house...it came with my present flock and was one of the reasons I wanted this house! The 5 ladies are about four and a half years probably, at least I think so. I love them all and don’t care about how many eggs they give me. There are 2 Wyandottes...
First... She is an Australorp not Amercauna... Ok, I felt inside her vent, gently, and there was no egg or any hard object. However, I noticed that her poop was greenish and loose, could this mean something?
I have an Americauna hen who has sprained/strained her right leg and carries her tail feathers down at times. Yesterday, she ate some hand fed scrambled egg, today, she won't. The other hens might attack her at times....I am trying to keep her separated, but there is an entire chicken yard for...
