Ugh. I'm super jealous. Would have loved to have gotten them. What was their temperament like?

As soon as I got done posting I cut her feathers back there :/ the mkre I read about egg yolk peritonitis, the more I think that’s it simply because of the shell-less egg. I guess i can still try to drain it. I already have all the stuff to do it. I just don’t want to cause anything bad to...

She has taken a turn for the worst. I feel like she’s actually dying with every breath she takes. So she’s pretty heavy on her back end. I lifted her tail to see her bulge is much bigger and it’s not hard but not super squishy either. She is putrid. Her poop is a neon green color . Last time I...

Gotcha. So last night she seemed to be doing better. I put her out with the others. This morning she wasn’t so great and remains in the house. She’s starting to act lethargic and listless. I’ve given her a broad spectrum antibiotic and 1/2 calcium tab. I’m really believing that this has...

No one prepared me for how fluffy a chicken is once blow dried 😍 the bad news is I think I may see what’s wrong, and I really hope it’s me thats wrong. Also, this stuff came out of her bum when I turned her over in her back to feel her belly. I know it’d be rare, but I’m thinking possibly...

Thank you so much! I’m on it now!

He isn’t the roughest I’ve seen but he does get excited. Their backs aren’t bald but they’re missing some feathers. I’m gonna bathe her now, will check back in a few.

She’s sitting on our back porch in the crate, don’t mind the mess in pics, we’ve not had a nice enough day yet to get all the trash cleaned up from winter!

I’m guessing this is the reason I didn’t feel an egg. There is no shell to it. Just membrane. No pieces anywhere. Also this poop is rancid. She still doesn’t want to be bothered. Not sure if she has another one in there or what. I know one day my husband told me that one of the hens had to have...

Thank you for your input!

She just briefly stood up. It does seem as if she was favoring one leg but she didn’t stand long enough for me to be certain. She’s not happy in the crate. She’s wanting out badly. Should I let her go? I’m afraid the rooster won’t leave her alone though.

Her crop feels normal, her breath is fine. What a conundrum. I’m pretty worried about her as there is no way I can just say “it’s okay if she’s lame, she’s happy” because the rooster will give her so much hell.

Oh! She doesn’t want her back end touched. Like her lumbar region. There are no open wounds, and this morning when my husband let them out she was laying in the floor already. Everyone went to bed like normal last night. So if it’s an injury it occurred during the night. I just have a hard time...

I stuck a finger in earlier. Gloved I promise lol no egg. Not that I could feel. She defecated when i did that. She ate some layer pellets and scratch first thing this morning. She does not walk at all she half assed flies. Her feet and legs were the first thing that I looked at this morning...

I will get video ASAP. Her voice does not sound any different. If it were marek’s, we’d have to cull the whole flock wouldn’t we? I’ve never had a case of that before.

Any ideas? Anyone?

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Wyandotte, less than a year old. Weight feels normal. 2) What is the behavior, exactly. She’s sitting on her hocks, kind of leaned to one side. One wing away from her body. She ate a little...

Sorry for the late response. This is what I ended up doing. I was worried that it was gonna get so nervous and worked up from being separated that it would make it even more ill. This morning it’s bouncing around with the others. I haven’t checked the navel site yet, but I think the swelling has...
