    LASH EGGS

    Thank you. I have some Keflex on hand. I really hate baytril, as I am a victim of fluoroquinolones myself. They were originally a chemo therapy agent, later used as antibiotic. They work by destroying the dna of bacteria's ability to replicate, but the trouble is that they also permanently...

    LASH EGGS

    UPDATE: Chickens are still ALL FINE!! I have been upping their protein, and they are all laying every other day. TODAY though ... I watched the thinnest, hyper chicken drop a lash egg in the yard, AFTER she laid a regular egg. Thoughts??

    LASH EGGS

    So far so good - suspect chicken has plenty of energy, in case viral I added apple cider vinegar to their water, keeping it fresh and flax seeds for reproductive health. Will see. I'm watching to see if any weakness.

    LASH EGGS

    Thank you - I hope so. I rescued my chickens from a man who said they were one ... they might be about 4 by now. Someone suggested giving apple cider vinegar, 1T per gallon, in their water and I read flax seeds help with hormones. They are look fine right now, 3 rhode island reds, sassy and...

    LASH EGGS

    I just found a mess in a nest ... what appeared to be "LASH EGGS" from one chicken. I check them often and can't tell who is acting sick ... recently lost one chicken to what appeared to be sudden hemmoragic liver and a 2nd chicken to what appeared to be internal infection as she faded and stunk...

    EGG EATER

    4 chickens ... 2 are always bantering one another, the larger chases the smaller annoying one. In competition, they started watching each other lay eggs, and go after the other's eggs. In process - both were eating eggs! We started locking in any chicken that was laying to stop this - it...

    Chicken panting with clear diarrhea

    Thank you - I also thought hemmoragic liver disease because she was a fatter chicken - and a good layer. Sweet disposition, that's what makes it hard - the naughty chickens seem to thrive lol

    Chicken panting with clear diarrhea

    Thank you. I just mustered up the courage to inspect her thoroughly - there was a little blood coming from her mouth. Her vent looked normal, no rigidity or presence of egg but a little yellow diarrhea. Interesting - the left side of her belly had a blue bruise looking mark, and above it was...

    Chicken panting with clear diarrhea

    Thank you - I updated my post, last night she was looking good, finally came out to walk around for a while, drank plenty and ate from the scrap tray and pellets ... went to her usual post at closing time, and sadly passed away right there at the top of the ladder. SAD! But we tried.

    Chicken panting with clear diarrhea

    UPDATE: last night she was doing better, walking around and drinking plenty of water ... sadly, she passed overnight. Thank you - she is about 2.5 years old, and her tail was downward today ... this evening she finally got up and walked around, drinking a good amount of water. Her rear looks...

    Chicken panting with clear diarrhea

    I thought Hattie was egg bound, so I prepared warm bath with epsom ... upon inspection, vent looked fine, inserted gloved finger with vaseline ... couldn't feel any egg, everything felt smooth and normal but hot. Could she just be ill? She has watery diarrhea and has long farts - not smelly at...
