Thank you very much for your answer. The band is not tight at the ankle. Still I have decided to take it off. Thanks for the pet carrier advice. Today I tried to bandage her joints and it doesn't seem to help. What I have noticed is that one of its legs, the one wearing the band seems looser...
Hello everyone. Let me introduce you to Jimena. She is a Castellana Negra (Spanish breed) and she is between 7 and 8 months old. He hasn't started laying eggs yet, although her sisters started at 5 months old. She is the last of the flock, and it has always been difficult for her to eat, except...
Good Morning. I have 9 hens, including 3 black Castilian hens. One of the black Castilians started laying eggs 3 weeks ago, with five months. Another of the Castilians put their first egg about 3 days ago (there were two white eggs and the two that were still to begin to lay are close to 6...
It's been unpleasant, it's the first time I have to kill one of my girls. It's harder than I thought. I am a soft man. Thanks @Eggcessive for your kind words.
Thanks also for your help @Eggcessive . My little Mori has passed away to a better life. I tried to do the surgery but it did not work out and I had to sacrifice her. It's the first time something like this has happened to me. It comforts me to know that she had a great life. I always say that...
Thanks for the reply @Eggcessive . Seeing that the paraffin worked slowly I thought that the crop would end up emptying completely. Yesterday night I gave her one last small dose. At the beginning of the night, she defecated water, urea and paraffin. Now (it's 7 a.m.) she has done solid poop...
Good afternoon everyone.
I will update the situation of my hen. While the Docusato was arriving - from England to Spain - I have continued to supply her with 5 mls. of paraffin in the morning and 5 mls in the evening. It seems that the cop slowly diminished, each morning was a little smaller...
Good morning to everybody.
I have a hen that was sick with swollen head syndrome. For a week I administered antibiotics (enrofloxacin) for possible secondary infections and I fed and gave her a drink. The inflammation was decreasing and already seems to be fine. She had her eye completely...
Oh, j'aime la France. Chaque année, je passe par la Dordogne, l'Auvergne, l'Alsace et l'Allemagne (je me rends en voiture en République tchèque). J'aime toute la France, mais j'aime surtout la Dordogne. C'est précisément pour cette raison que j'ai commencé à étudier le français il y a un peu...
Thanks for the advice and encouragement. I do not think she lasts long. I think that although we are feeding her, she is being consumed little by little. She weighs very little (skin and bones) and she does not have the strength to stand up. To my great regret, I think it's a matter of hours. :(
Good morning to everybody.
I'm sorry I did not write these days, but I've been focused on saving the hen and I did not want to distract myself. As I had told you, it seemed that she had salpingitis, and so it was.
The same day that I made the photo where something is seen in her vent I tried...
Again, thank you very much for your answers. I got the calcium an hour ago and checked several threads to see what dose I should give her. As it weighs 1450 grms (my little thing is anorexic) I have supplied 150 mgs. orally. Right now it is night and she is sleeping. I hope it helps her.
As for...
I will! Right now I'm busy taking care of one of my other hens, but when I have more time I'l talk about them. Here are some photos: the clearest is called Palomina ("little pigeon") and the darkest Mori. They have one year old and they weigh 3 kilos aprox. as they are really strong hens.
First of all, thank you very much for your help.
Today in the morning I felt that she had the crop with food, so I bought nystatin and I gave her the first dose. But effectively, the problem is another. What I saw in her vent when she makes "effort noise" today took shape: it is a lash egg.
I...
