    ive never seen this disease before (loss of balance and poor depth perception)

    so its been almost a month and overall she has gotten worse, its looking more and more like mareks. so for the first couple of weeks after posting this thread she remained the same, still eating and drinking fine but no iimprovements. in the past few days her legs now barely work and she sits...

    ive never seen this disease before (loss of balance and poor depth perception)

    apology for late reply. to update, she is doing roughly the same if not small improvements, she is still eating and her crop is emptying, and her eyes are unchanged, they look like normal. is it okay if i continue using the avi-vital in her water, its pretty much an all in one vitamin solution...

    Chicks are making rattling noise! Help! Is this bad?

    its very subtle, i wouldnt worry it's probably just mucus in the vocal tract but do keep track of them.

    ive never seen this disease before (loss of balance and poor depth perception)

    so my 4 yo isa brown has recently been acting strange. at first she wasnt actively eating or drink, i had to encourage her to eat by putting her next to the food and water then she would eat, she also doesnt seem to be showing any pain, and clucks like normal but remains rather docile (mostly...

    My hen is sick, egg yolk peritonitis?

    Will do, we plan on going tomorrow to some aquariums and pet shops to find some of these chemicals. Her breathing seems normal, she breathes with her mouth shut and it appears to be at normal pace. We gave her some yoghurt mixed with normal feed but now that you've mentioned it I will look for...

    My hen is sick, egg yolk peritonitis?

    Haven't been tracking her laying status (we have about 15 chickens of which a few are laying hens like ISAs). I realised now that it's her fluffy area that is bloated and not the vent. I have been keeping water nearby and will give her mushy feed and if we can, give her some of these treatments...

    My hen is sick, egg yolk peritonitis?

    She is about four, we haven't kept track of her laying. We've had our chickens for about six years and we haven't had any chook casualties in the past half-a-year or so. We have had a similar case like this with another black hen however; similar symptoms, about five months ago, she slowly got...

    My hen is sick, egg yolk peritonitis?

    I've found one of my hens very lethargic two days ago, other symptoms have developed which lead me to infer that it could be egg peritonitis. She now has a bright red comb that is flopping down, and I felt her vent, it's not necessarily hard but it is definitely bloated and tense, her pupils...

    Sick Choog; white diarrhoea, lethargic and pale skin

    Okay so I have some pictures of her droppings but its all dry, I couldn't find any fresh droppings nor do I have the time. However, I did check between her legs and I found that her vent is quite firm and full, it feels like something rather hard is in there. Also I just checked at the end of...

    Sick Choog; white diarrhoea, lethargic and pale skin

    To answer some of your questions, I live in Brisbane Australia, I've separated her from the flock and she hasn't laid any eggs in her area since. For the times I've checked her crop it has been empty, but she hasn't had much of an appetite for a few days now. I'm now giving her normal chicken...

    Sick Choog; white diarrhoea, lethargic and pale skin

    Glad to hear your hen is doing slightly better, I've heard that giving natural cultures are good for issues like what your chook has, which is why I've started giving my hen yoghurt and sauerkraut and I dosed her water with a generous amount of apple cider vinegar. I'm not so sure about AB's but...

    Sick Choog; white diarrhoea, lethargic and pale skin

    I hope she pulls through, I wish I could help but I'm pretty inexperienced with this stuff. I would separate her from the flock in case it is a contagious disease. My hen is still the same but I think she has also lost appetite; no lash eggs so far. Good luck with your chook my friend, cheers.

    Sick Choog; white diarrhoea, lethargic and pale skin

    Thanks for the insight, I do suspect something along the lines of this with her but I haven't found any membrane or lash eggs drop out so I haven't ruled out the possibility of disease. I'll try the olive-coconut oil and garlic thing you suggested and restrict her protein intake. I assume your...

    Sick Choog; white diarrhoea, lethargic and pale skin

    So yesterday I noticed one of the hens had quite pale skin and she was sitting down. After further inspection she was very fatigued and slow with her movement though her behaviour was the same, she still ate and recognized me like normal, but also her droppings were white/clear and consistent...

    Urgent! Sick chicken with bloated crop.

    This morning I went to let out the chickens and noticed my RIR looking very sick and fatigued, I picked her up and noticed she isn't as alert and concerned about me approaching her. I found her crop to be bloated and spongy but very sparse, as if empty or full of air. I can feel the long bone...
