    Egg-bound or something worse? Advise please.

    Hi. I agree the darkening is odd, online it says it's due to lack of oxygen but her com and waddles are still bright red. It is not spreading, and, it may be my imagination but it seems to be receding a tiny bit today. Her breathing is just fine. She is still quiet today, but very alert...

    Egg-bound or something worse? Advise please.

    Hi. Definitely not dirt on her face, it's developed since I brought her in, a darkening of the skin. I don't think she's able to go back with the flock, she's still lethargic and swollen, though at least she does not seen to be getting any worse. Still eating very little (usually just a bit when...

    Egg-bound or something worse? Advise please.

    Sorry for the delay getting back to you. She is the same age (2.5 yr) but a sapphire gem. Same symptoms, bloated lower rear end, runny yellowish poops (but she is pooping) very quiet/lethargic. None of the girls have any egg issues at all. I have her inside in the "chicken hospital". She's been...

    Egg-bound or something worse? Advise please.

    Thank you. I would think so too, it’s been 4 days since the ivermectin (pour over administered with a dropper.) I tried putting one drop on neck, under wings, on either side of vent, but I’m sure they got a bit more than that with all the wiggling, .5 ml at the most. She was totally fine...

    Egg-bound or something worse? Advise please.

    Hello lovely chicken people. I have another chicken sick with the same symptoms as the last one who died :-( . Caught it more quickly this time and she is isolated. Never figured out what happened to the last girl but just had a thought. Both illnesses happened a few days after topical...

    Egg-bound or something worse? Advise please.

    Thank you. I'm not of sturdy enough constitution to cut her open myself...considering taking her for a necropsy, UC Davis not too far from me offers that.

    Egg-bound or something worse? Advise please.

    Thank you. I guess it's the possible respiratory issue I am concerned about with the rest of the girls. Being that she had the large swelling below her vent I wouldn't think it was Mareks or bird flu or anything like that, I'm just concerned for the other girls.

    Egg-bound or something worse? Advise please.

    Also, could I have caused the mucus by giving her the powdered calcium and amoxocillin with the dropper?

    Egg-bound or something worse? Advise please.

    She just died :-( When I went to put the dropper with amoxocillin down her throat, she was drooling and had clear sticky mucus inside her mouth, and I saw 2 little yellow spots on her throat (breathing hole), none of that was there yesterday. When I put the dropper in her throat she seemed to...

    Egg-bound or something worse? Advise please.

    I watched the vids and mixed the powder with a little water and got it down her throat. She didn't like it but is so weak she didn't fight much. I'll wait a bit and try the same with some calcium mixed with water, at least I know she'll be getting a little water too.

    Egg-bound or something worse? Advise please.

    Thanks. Like I said in the original post, she is very swollen and I'm not feeling an egg so not sure :-( She lifts her head a tiny bit and opens her eyes when I touch her. The swelling is worse.

    Egg-bound or something worse? Advise please.

    Thank you. my biggest fear is her choking on the pill, she's so out of it right now :-( Should I just let her go or try? This sux :-( The amoxocillin I have is powdered in a gel cap. What would you suggest?

    Egg-bound or something worse? Advise please.

    She is laying sort of on her side and breathing heavier, does not respond to dipping her beak in water. How would I administer?

    Egg-bound or something worse? Advise please.

    Thank you for your response. Because I have 9 hens I don't know which eggs may be hers so I can't properly answer that, but there have been no abnormal eggs from any of them ever. I do have human antibiotics, amoxocillin 500mg caps and cipro 500mg caps.

    Egg-bound or something worse? Advise please.

    ...she's getting worse :-( Now laying on her side and breathing is heavier. I'm doing my best to make her comfortable. Will not drink or eat. Not even pooping.

    Egg-bound or something worse? Advise please.

    My 2.5 year old barred rock hen (who seemed fine yesterday) is doing very poorly. Normally when I go out in the morning the chickens are excited and ganged up at the 2nd gate when I come in, but she was still in the coop. She did a watery poop and then came out very slowly when she saw me, and I...

    Chicken suddenly lethargic, not eating, mouth open, yellow water-poop, Please Help!

    Thank you. I have been checking the other girls' poop and they are all fine. I'll keep Donna Summer inside at least for the rest of the day and either return her tonight or in the morning as long as she continues to do well). Her comb is now pretty much back to normal as well :-)

    Chicken suddenly lethargic, not eating, mouth open, yellow water-poop, Please Help!

    What else should I do? She is eating/drinking and each poop looks better than the last. She doesn't have any of the other symptoms of water belly. Since she has not laid an egg in 4ish days perhaps that indicates something reproductive? (Again, I found no signs of eggbound except what seems to...
