Hi Everyone, Something strange happened today. This March, our 2-year old barred rock, Mike, stopped laying. We weren't sure why. Today, eight months later, she layed. It's torpedo-shaped, and looks like it was a labored lay. I'm just curious--what would cause her to stop laying for...

Hi I thought you all deserved an update. We put Elaine on the antibiotic for 5 days. Her poops cleared up immediately. (She was passing these monstrous, yellow, stinky poops that were the consistency of oatmeal. I thought it was just her way, but apparently it was the infection.) A few...

We did talk about that. This vet doesn't do them. There might be another vet a bit further away that does them. But cost might be prohibitive. Something to check into if she recovers. does anyone know what the chances are that she could lay normally after this? (Knowing that the odds of her...

We did an x-ray and they saw two eggs inside. The antibiotics are a long shot.

Update ($300 later). She has two demineralizing eggs inside her. She has a fever. We are putting her on strong antibiotics and hoping for the best. She was great at the vet's

Hi thanks for asking! I am trying to get the cheese tested to see if it's bacteria or virus. (We tested for worms earlier in the process and it was negative.) The vet of course wants me to bring her in (chaching). I have an appointment this afternoon. Will keep you all updated. Other than that...

Here are the latest pics. We cleaned her last about 4-5 days ago.

It's raining pretty hard here so I won't be able to get an updated pic. I can say that when I remove the crust, it is like a scab--it is red underneath.

Thank you so much for the ideas. I am going to put an updated picture later today. To answer some questions: She has never laid There was an unpleasant odor when it looked like the picture above. Now not so much. I have two coops--a mobile one that they spend the evenings in and a stationary...

Thanks for your quick reply. No maggots. I will try to post updated pictures later today.

This thread is the closest I've found to the vent issue.

Hello! Please help with my chicken problem. My white Australorp, 9 mos old, has not started laying and has a crusty vent. It does not look like gleet to me. I have only found two posts in this forum that seem to describe the same issue, and both leave the question unresolved. The attached...
