    Possible ideas why my pullet/hen is ill

    I believe we may have found the problem. Mold intoxication. I live in central Florida and mold is a big issue. One I didn’t have to deal with when I had chickens up north and never thought about. Other people here have had a very similar “illness” and it appeared to be that mold was the...

    Possible ideas why my pullet/hen is ill

    Unfortunately you were not on sooner. I have destroyed her remains earlier in the day. (Prevention safety for my flock) From my minimal knowledge of chicken anatomy but slight knowledge of basic anatomy I think she had some kind of fibrosis of the intestine, limiting her fecal release. Food...

    I noticed the thick walls of the intestine and I did open them, there was not any mass (tumor) blocking the passage however it was hard to determine if the thickening of the walls made partial blocking of their own. ( hence passage only of watery with small amounts of stool) The second picture...

    This was my first necropsy so it was a bit sloppy. Hope not to need to do others, kinda stinky even with a mask. It took some courage on my part so I didn’t start for about an hour after. She already had gases. When I pushed in her stomach to cut the skin and air came out her mouth passing...

    Possible ideas why my pullet/hen is ill

    I did do a necropsy on her. I did not see any eggs, the gizzard had food in it so no anemia, lungs appeared ok. Not sure about liver ( not a vet) Her crop had liquid and food reminents but may have eaten when I was inside. I did notice some spots of thinkness in the intestinal wall, but when...

    Possible ideas why my pullet/hen is ill

    I really did try. Poor girl I never lost a hen beside a predator attack ( a dog -once) and well the farmer down the way. My old girls quit laying (age) I didn’t have the heart to butcher them so I gave them to the farmer who had no qualms about it.

    Probably not, since it doesn’t seem like an epidemic If another gets sick I will most definitely. At this point no egg binding that I could feel, crop not impacted, no parasites, other hens fine. Leads me to believe she had a reproductive issue and was finally coming to age. She died in my...

    She is refusing food. So, I offered her favorite ( grapes) with her calcium supplement. Nothing I had to put the calcium in her mouth. I see it very bad if she doesn’t gobble down her favorite treat. She is the lowest on the pecking order and she would run in, wings blazing, rebel in her...
