She’s still not doing well. Not eating. Her breast bone is very apparent it’s scary. I have her on the calcium with D3 and I just gave her another Epsom salt bath. Maybe I should worm her but she’s so thin.
Thank you. I have so many birds I don’t know when the last time she laid. She has been in the same pen. She didn’t make it back to her pen. She stayed outside in the elements here overnight. And we found her like this yesterday. I have never wormed my chickens.
Hi there,
My girls free range everyday and go into their coop at night. I noticed the next day this gal didn’t make it in. And she is barely moving around. She won’t eat and I’ve been forcing electrolytes multiple times a day. I did an Epsom salt bath and checked her for egg bound. She’s is not...

Hi there,
My duckling has had this eye infection off and on since hatching on 4/10.
The area behind it seems to be contributing to the eye closing and watering. Any info would be great! Thanks so much
Update of Blue!!
She was seen today and the vet thinks it may be some sort of reproductive disease. Her heart and lungs sound good. They pulled a full liter of fluid, it was dark and had a odor. The fluid showed some white blood cells. I wasn’t able to get the X-ray or send the fluid to the...
Hi there, I’ve noticed my 3 year old blue runner is a little heavy and not moving around much. She’s eating and drinking normally. She did poop something weird pictured below. I don’t believe she is egg bound. Her belly feels firm but squishy on one side. There are no “exotic vets” in my area...
