    Yes, it has been a few days and they are fine! They seem to b okay and they may have built an immunity towards it since I've seen them foraging in the plant for years. Thanks for the help!

    Chickens have eaten Blue Potato Bush

    Hi today I was trimming my blue potato bush and a rather big branch fell off. I cleaned it all up but I forgot to leave out one of the branches which had a lot of leaves on it. After that I decided to let my chickens Forage. They found the plant and began to eat the leaves. I took the branch and...

    Chicken is Eggbound

    I watched the video. I guess if i popped it, does it mean it will refill or not? If it does, I'll pop it again.

    Chicken is Eggbound

    Thanks for the information! I'm planning on draining some of the liquid every time it refills because she will be in pain. This will take a few months I hope. She's doing good now. She's moving around more.

    Chicken is Eggbound

    So, sorry for not updating. It turned out she had water belly. I drained some of it out, and it went away completely. I know it's going to refill in a while and i'll drain it again. Now she seems fine. Also the liquid was clear not yellow. I don't know if that's a good or bad sign.

    Chicken is Eggbound

    Thanks sorry for the late reply. She seems considerably better now. She's pooping everyday but she seems to stay in some places for a long time. I think it might be a little hard for her to move but she can move when she really wants to or needs to. I'll be monitoring her closely for the next...

    Chicken is Eggbound

    Thanks for the information. I gave her a second bath today. Nothing came out but a bit of poop. I dried her up and put her back. There may be some kind of buildup of poop in her bottom. I don't know if it is poop or fat. Today I gave them calcium and tommorow I'm going to put electrolites in...

    Chicken is Eggbound

    She pooped in the hot bath. Her poop was normal. I think she may be constipated. If she's worst tomorrow, I may take her to an avian vet. If she's pooping, I'll see what I can do from there.

    Chicken is Eggbound

    I tried the bath and nothing came out. I felt around her vent and felt nothing. But, she pooped a little bit. But, she hasn't pooped since. I dried her up and put her back in her roost. I put a plate under her spot, so I can see if she pooped or not. I'm praying she does poop and lays soon. I...

    Chicken is Eggbound

    Oh. I did not know that about the salts. I heard they calmed her muscles. I'll follow your advice about giving her the calcium tablet and using the towel. I'll check her vent soon.

    Chicken is Eggbound

    Hello my hen is egg bound. She has been egg bound before and I put her in the bath with salts and warm water. It came out and she was fine. She's egg bound again. I used all the salts from the last time. I don't have any more salts. They are very expensive. Would it work without the salts? Is...

    Help Chicken's crop is large and hard!

    I think this is the case. A few days ago, I bought a flock block. A giant block composed of chicken food and seeds. They loved it and would not stop pecking at it. Also, they may have scratched at the ground when I gave them some greens. it rained that day and the alfalfa must have been wet. It...
