Hi All, I have a hen with sour crop. Regurgitating liquid, etc. I need a recommendation on an anti-fungal that will treat the yeast directly in her crop without having to go through her digestive system as nothing is getting through her crop at the moment with all the liquid. It's not an option...

Hi All, My 2.5 year old hen recently had a Suprelorin implant which has put her into a heavy molt. My concern is her comb. Her comb has gone very dark since the molt began. Usually I find with implant and molt the comb will shrink and go pale, although I have had one hen whose comb remained red...

Hi guys, My 2 year old hen is egg bound since yesterday. The egg is stuck about 2 inches in. Fortunately it is not blocking her vent, so she is pooping, eating and drinking as normal and is showing no physical signs of distress. This query is regarding calcium doses. So I gave her 1000mgs of...

Hi All, My 5.5 year old ex-batt has severe articulated gout. She hasn't laid in years but was eating layer feed with the rest of my girls and I suspect this is the cause. I've switched her to grower feed. But now need to treat the gout. I got some moringa powder for her today as this is...

*Hi guys, reposting this as no replies. This molting girl is still sleeping a lot during the day. Has anyone else experienced this during a molt? Can anyone offer any input? Took her temperature again and it's 40.8 today, still pretty standard but up a bit from the last time. She is sleeping...

Hi All, My RIR Hybrid turned 2 in May. We had her implanted 2 weeks ago due to ongoing laying issues she was experiencing. The implant puts them into a molt, so she started molting 3 days ago and it also happens to be her first molt. She is usually the most active hen in our flock, she never...

Hi Guys, I posted a thread recently about my 18month old hybrid hen who laid an egg with blood on it and as a result was vent pecked by the others to the extent that they ended up tearing through the top of her vent. I bathed her twice daily in sea salt and followed up with Vetericyn Plus on...

Hi All, I have an 18month old hybrid hen who laid an egg with some blood on it and as a result was vent pecked by the other girls. They actually tore through the top of her vent. This was just over a week ago. I have her in the dog crate in the spare room and have been bathing her in sea salt...

Ok guys, I had a hen with an impacted crop and possibly some sour crop going on too, as I suspect she has been impacted for a while. The mass in her crop was about the size of a small lemon and felt fibrous and a bit like there was sand in there, got quite squishy once I massaged it. Here is...

Hi guys, I have a hen with what I suspect is an impacted crop which has soured. The crop feels almost like there is sand in it. It's squishy, I can feel some fibrous materials and the "sand" I'm feeling I think must be yesterday's mash. The whole problem area is about the size of half a lemon...

Hi All. Just wanted to give you all some help when dealing with egg-bound hens. And let me tell you I've had a lot of experience in this area with my ex-battery girls. If your hen is showing signs of being egg bound and you have checked inside her vent and can feel an egg here is what to do: 1)...

Hi all. I am having a problem with my RIR Hybrid pullet. She started laying 6-7 weeks ago. The first few weeks everything was normal but the last month or so she has been laying her normal egg in the morning and in the late afternoon she looks off form. I take her inside and over the course of...
