Thanks! I just reviewed the two browns and a Speckled Sussex hen that I posted in the past. I should have updated and report. Both of the browns were the ones that laid lash eggs. One of them started back to normal for a little while, then she passed. It was definitely salpingitis. Melon, the...

It has been 4 weeks since Mango (ISA brown, four years old, stopped laying about a year ago) has been separated and staying in the house since my daughter found her standing with one leg, and left leg curled. She had mites but I got rid of them. There is no swelling on the ankle and assumed it...

Thanks! I gave her water with electrolyte and vitamins, scrambled eggs, kale and layer mash. She is eating a lot and looks more comfortable. She has no water belly and I didn't see any mites but treated her for mites just in case. She is about 1.5 years old. She lays eggs but since the sunrise...

My Rhode Island Red bantam hen is going through a hard molt. She is covered in pin feathers and her skin is quite visible. She was in the coop probably all day today, probably trying to keep warm. She sneezed a few times and she didn't look well, so I brought her in. I gave her cat food and...

I was hoping to hear from people but didn't, but she is better! I kept her isolated for three days. I kept her butt clean and applied antibiotic ointment (without pain relief), Preparation H and vaseline on the prolapsed area to keep it moist. The dead tissue peeled off. I pushed back in a few...

Pumpkin, a three-year-old ISA brown, had a poopy butt and looked dirty, so I brought her in and washed her butt and noticed that she has a prolapsed vent. But it is not like the ones I have seen in pictures on forums. I wonder if it is a prolapsed vent or a tumor?!?! She may have had it for a...

Hi again... The sick hen, Melon, got taken by a bald eagle this afternoon while I was gone shopping and my dogs were in the house. I saw the eagle flying away with her when I got home. I saw a lot of feathers, pieces of meat and bones on the ground. I think it got into the chicken garden and was...

Hi. So I checked her inside but I didn't feel anything like an egg. But about an 1.5 - 2 inches lower from the vent, I feel a round think floating. It has been over a week and she is still dropping poops, so I really doubt it is egg bound... It is really round, could be a lash egg... I gave her...

Thank you so much! I haven't checked if it is an egg... I touched under her belly and it feels like an egg but could be her gizzard??? but it is not really the area it should be... I didn't have time to insert and search for an egg today. I will do it tomorrow. I just gave her a bit of coconut...

My three-year-old ISA brown hen has been unwell for over a week now. I first thought she had water belly. Then in the past four days, her crop gets filled with fluid and she throws up all the fluid (it is clear brownish liquid without much smell. It is not sour smell but more like yeast-ish...

Thanks... I saw the link. Yeah, perhaps she has salpingitis... If it is peritonitis, perhaps she will pass within a week or so? She is eating and she is pooping more than two days ago and the poops are back to kinda normal. I will put her back to the flock and let her enjoy foraging during the...

A vet is not an option... She even went outside and hang out with her flock in the afternoon, but I brought her back inside to sleep. She is sleeping in my daughter's room. (The hen is my daughter's favourite girl.) Her belly is not enlarged but hard. I cannot feel an egg... If it were an egg...

I found my 2.5 year old hen laying on the ground not being able to move yesterday morning. Her left leg was floppy and she didn't curl her toes, so I thought she had a nerve injury. I brought her in the house and made a sling. Her belly also felt hard and I thought she was egg bound, so I gave...

Hi. I am wondering how your chicken's leg is(was?) after you posted this thread. I have a hen that has the same condition. If your hen recovered, what was your treatment for her?

Looks good.... Gotta find one like that in Canada!!!

Thanks! I wish I sent the body for necropsy... My daughter was devastated and refused to send the body. I will do so if I lose another. I just feel terrible for my daughter. She has four RIR as her project animals for 4-H and now she cannot show her birds and she is very upset😢

I just lost a 2.5-year-old hen to probably some kind of neurological issue. She started losing balance and stumbled as she was walking in the beginning, then she started to fall from the head as she stood up and tried to walk. Her feet were not paralysed. She could stand up. She had a good grip...

I did it and found just yellow liquid in the eggs!

They were set at the same time. I bought seven eggs and put them under her and removed the ones she was sitting on since we wanted bantams, not any more from our flock. I will remove them. My original plan was to have five bantams that are going to be my daughter's pets...
