Thank you, but I'm in Australia, and costs a fortune to get that done. Too late in any case.

Thought I'd provide an update to this post. She ended up going completely blind in both eyes, but was adapting ok. She was still eating and drinking ok, and still getting up on the perch with the others (I had some stairs there), but then suddenly started weakening, getting progressively worse...

Thanks. Strangely she has no trouble drinking. And seems to be eating ok now with the different feeder. Hopefully it is temporary, rather heart-breaking seeing her trying to peck things but missing.

Still no improvement with being able to peck things, though I have managed to get her eating with a different style feeder, where she has to put her whole head in and down and I assume can't actually see the food. She navigates perfectly fine, and has perfect accuracy when trying to peck things…...

No pupil is nice and clear, just fully dilated. Ventilation is good, definitely not a problem there. Not sure if there is a better way to post videos. The attach files seemed to only let me select photos.

One of my 7 week old pullets has suddenly started having trouble eating her food, she just pecks a few inches above it. Tried hand feeding, she just wants to move further away from the food. Her right eye seems constantly dilated. Same behaviour when scratching around the dirt, just specks the...

I left it in the incubator overnight, removed the tape from its feet which seemed to be ok now. I saw what seemed a good opportunity so gave it a go, took it out in the afternoon and slipped it in while everyone was crowded around the feeder, it's like none even noticed the addition, and the...

Hello. A broody hen had 10 eggs, 7 of them hatched on Monday, and on Tuesday she had stopped sitting on other eggs, so I moved the remaining 3 to an incubator. I had pretty much given up on them, but then this morning (Thursday) one of them hatched. It has curly toes, I've put tape on them as...

Thought I'd post an update about how things turned out. My father thought it could possibly be Pseudomonas aeruginosa and suggested I try a different antibiotic that would work for gram-negative bacteria, together with some steroid drops. Keep in mind he's not a vet or familiar with chickens...

She did eventually. Not really sure what the cause of it was. She also went broody for the first time shortly after it cleared up, though I'm guessing that’s probably unrelated.

Not really. He just said it was probably an injury, that something may have punctured it.

Just got back from the vet, and not good news. He said the eye had prolapsed, and she'll probably lose it. It was unfortunately a bit of a rushed visit since he was very busy and he was just fitting me in between other bookings. He didn't have any appointments available until next Wednesday, and...

She's not currently separated. They have free access to shell grit at all times. How come you recommend both eggshell and oyster shell together? I don't recall hearing that before. The only time I've used eggshells was when I ran out of the shell grit and was waiting on a delivery.

Another update. She seems to be a bit more alert, though still resting a lot, and I'm not getting any more green poop, however the eye doesn't seem to be improving. I'm going back to the vet tomorrow morning. I've been using an eye wash and managing with the eye drops ok. She hasn't been...

Well, her crop was empty this morning, micstrachan. As for the drops, I didn't have a great deal of success this morning. I couldn't get her eye open properly. I read about using a warm damp cloth, and I got some gunk cleaned out around the eyelid opening that way, but only managed to partially...

Another update. I managed to get to see a vet tonight (I got lucky and his last appointment of the day had been cancelled). The eye got most of the focus, he gave her an anti-inflammatory injection and some antibiotic eye drops. He said to continue with the Oxymav B and to see how she was in a...

She now has one eye shut and looks swollen. Also did a fresh poop while I was taking photos. She seems more active right now, though not sure if that's because I just got home.

I'll check. I had a quick feel mid-morning yesterday and didn't see anything that seemed unusual to me. She's by far the smallest, but never gets picked on, at all. She's 3rd out of 4 in the pecking order, but is very assertive and seems to be treated a bit like the spoiled little sister who...

She's about 8 months old. I should have taken a photo of the poop. I'll take one when I get home from work. I did take this photo yesterday. She always wants to be around me, and I was doing work at an outdoor workbench, so she was sleeping beside my feet. She's sort of sleeping on her side a...

My little Polish hen has been sleeping all the time, just wherever she is. Sometimes standing up, sometimes laying down. She also has a bit of diarrhea and greenish poop (though not a bright green like I've seen some posts here talk about). Some poops are well-formed, some are a bit wet. She's...
