    Internal Layer - what to do now?

    Thank you for the response and link. How often should I give her a dose? Only when she shows signs of being sick, or every day even if she seems normal? I doubt I'll eve get an egg out of her again, but if she does lay, we'll be sure not to eat it. Her egg color is different from the other hen...

    Internal Layer - what to do now?

    Hey all, I’ve posted a couple of times previously on the health journey of Ruby, a 2.5 year old Rhode Island Red. The first sign of problems was back in January or February when she abruptly stop laying. Then in June she took a nose dive and would barely move. After doing some research I...

    2 year old is laying shell-less eggs after being sick

    Our hen, Ruby, has had a tough 2020 like the rest of us. She stopped laying early in the year and then became very sick a couple of months later. We took her to the vet and he suspected pneumonia (early June). After a round of antibiotics (that was fun) she has returned to her normal active...

    Rhode Island Red’s comb has fallen over and darkened, she’s lethargic and hasn’t laid in months. Should I be worried?

    It’s a clear liquid that’s kinda viscous. When it dries it turns white. Weird stuff

    Rhode Island Red’s comb has fallen over and darkened, she’s lethargic and hasn’t laid in months. Should I be worried?

    Thank you for your responses. Ruby’s condition has been mostly unchanged since she’s gotten over her pneumonia. The diarrhea and pickiness has persisted. She does eat a bit here and there and we did get some baby bird feed and tried tube feeding once. My main concern at the moment in the...

    Rhode Island Red’s comb has fallen over and darkened, she’s lethargic and hasn’t laid in months. Should I be worried?

    Ruby has responded well to the meds and is acting more like herself and moving around quite a bit. But she seems to be just wasting away and doesn’t seem to be eating or drinking much. She not even interested in her favorite treats. The one thing she does eat is bugs when I lift up rocks and...

    Rhode Island Red’s comb has fallen over and darkened, she’s lethargic and hasn’t laid in months. Should I be worried?

    We had a vet take a look at Ruby yesterday and he doesn’t think she has EYP. She is having hard time breathing so we are giving her Enrofloxacin and Meloxicam. Hopefully that will be it but he’s not sure if there is an underlining condition that is causing her problems. Her condition seems to...

    Rhode Island Red’s comb has fallen over and darkened, she’s lethargic and hasn’t laid in months. Should I be worried?

    Would having a vet drain her help her be more comfortable as she goes? Or would she fill up again before she passes and we will be right back where we are now? I was thinking maybe draining would help relieve the bloating while the infection runs it’s course, but I’m just not sure and we can’t...

    Rhode Island Red’s comb has fallen over and darkened, she’s lethargic and hasn’t laid in months. Should I be worried?

    Oh man, yeah she’s probably internally laying. That’s really sad because she’s such a good girl! I didn’t know that was a thing and I feel the internet failed me when I did a search a while ago for why she stopped laying. I should have posted here then. I noticed her breast seemed thin when I...

    Rhode Island Red’s comb has fallen over and darkened, she’s lethargic and hasn’t laid in months. Should I be worried?

    I’ve noticed some changes with one of my ladies the last couple of days and I’m getting worried. As I said in the title, her comb has completely fallen sideways over the last couple of days. It looks like it’s darker too. She is just over two years old but hasn’t laid for months. Before she was...
