    What is this in my egg

    I cracked this egg and saw these tiny dots in it, I’m trying to figure out if this is just a normal thing that happens from time to time, if this means the egg is fertile, or if I need to fix something diet wise. I also want to double check that these are safe to eat.

    Hen threw up.

    I’ve been giving them cold water before bed, and I also set up a better fan in the coop to cool it down because the small one I had in there before was not working and I haven’t seen any chickens throw up since i started doing this. Thank you all for the advice and knowledge I’m sure my hens...

    Hen threw up.

    Ok, I’ll make sure to do this tomorrow, but that does make sense especially on these hot days when it around 81F when they go to roost.

    Hen threw up.

    The hen I started this post about has not thrown up again, but tonight I had a different hen named Sophia throw up. I checked her and nothing seemed to be wrong put she has been panting a lot today so I was wondering if the throwing up could be from heat stress?

    Hen threw up.

    I checked her crop this morning and it was empty. She’s still acting normal, so I’ll just keep an eye on her and leave her alone unless anything changes.

    Hen threw up.

    Ok, I’ll check on her crop in the morning and make sure it empties. Hopefully it’s just spit up. Thank you for the advice!

    Hen threw up.

    I was putting my flock to bed and one of my hens just threw up. I know this isn’t normal so I looked her over but everything seemed normal, her crop was empty, she has an appetite, she’s not bloated, her comb looks fine, and she’s been acting normal all day. The only thing I noticed that was...

    Thank you, I may consider doing my own necropsy in the future but I still haven’t culled a chicken my self before so I don’t know if I could handle it. All this information and kind words were greatly appreciated.

    URGENT hen with potential water belly not eating or drinking

    No, I will not. I don’t have a place to send the body, and we already buried her. I also don’t have any money for a necropsy if they cost any.

    URGENT hen with potential water belly not eating or drinking

    I went in the check on her and picked her up to see if she pooped, it seemed to trigger something and tons of yellow liquid is coming out of her beak and there’s some at her nose. She finally stopped but now she’s dry heaving and gurgling. Is there anything I can do or should I cull her now? She...

    URGENT hen with potential water belly not eating or drinking

    I just drained 60cc of liquid form her abdomen with an 18 gauge needle. She didn’t flinch when we drained her, the liquid had a pretty strong yellow tint, I forgot to get a picture of it after draining. She doesn’t seems to be in any sort of shock. The bloating hasn’t seemed to go down much though.

    URGENT hen with potential water belly not eating or drinking

    I gave her a calcium and tums, and gave her some water after that. There’s more of the yellow liquid today but there is some solid poop in it. She’s doing this thing we’re shell puff out her tail and her wings and put heat head on the ground. Is this because she uncomfortable?
