Update: (I want to do it earlier but I need to wait for my parents to be back from a trip so I can do it with 2 people.)
Today I have drained 2 35cc syringes of clear yellow fluid from her belly, then let her stand and walk around as the fluid continues dripping, it drips even more than what I...
I checked her crop in the morning and it's empty.
She has started gasping a little since Sunday, I can hear wheezing as she breaths, I noticed she had runny nose at Sunday night. I gave her vetRx on Monday and she felt better, the wheezing is gone, but she still gasps slightly.
I think she...
I don't feel anything in her crop. Her abdomen is always fat, if there is fluid in there, it is the same as the size from 2 weeks ago and it didn't get worse.
Is she sneezing at 0:15 ?
Yes, it is like hoarse, and her voice is very tiny. When she is sitting down resting she's breathing heavier than the other hen. I think it might be respiratory illness. I've order Vetrx see if that helps.
Update: She is much better now. I have been giving her Nutri-Drench Poultry. She drinks and eats normally and has gained some weight back. But now she has lost her voice, everything else seems fine.
I notice that she is shaking her head from time to time when she is sitting down and resting at day time. Could that possibly be a sign of having gapeworms? At night she is just quietly sleepy without shaking head.
I think she was kinda overweight, but she had been eating the same and getting the same exercise as the other one. I have been mostly giving them uncooked rice for treat, a little in the morning and afternoon.
Update: She is doing better today. Walk round more often,eat more layer feed. Her poop looks healthier. I gave her pearl parley water yesterday, hope that helps.
Thanks for everyone's advice. They are free range. I have been giving them uncooked rice for treat for last 3+ years, I should...
She has better energy today. Her comb has a healthier color. She is eating some layer feed by herself. I just give her a little rice and mostly tuna/egg/layer feed mix, she likes it. She walks around sometimes, but sits down most of the time.
Her abdomen is always fat, but she has been...
Thanks. The videos should be working now.
Today she is a little better, her comb is not as dark as yesterday. This morning I gave her tiny bit human multivitamins. I mixed water with feeds and she ate some of it. I also gave her some cooked rice, some water rinsed can tuna, she likes it.
Her...
Thanks Wyorp Rock.
I am from bay area, California.
Today she didn't drink much water. Her crop is empty in the morning. She always has a fat abdomen, so I can't really tell if it is bloat/swelling.
Today I gave her cooked rice and she seemed to like it and ate quite a lot (I used to give her...
My hen has been dropping watery poop for last 2 weeks. She doesn't walk around too much and losses appetite for chicken feeds and rice, but drinks a lot of water and still goes crazy for meal worm treats . Some spots of her comb also appear to be darker than usual.
She is about 4 years old...
