    • Shell-less Egg and Droopy Hen, Please Help!

    Update for today: She's doing so much better! Her normal appetite is mostly back, though she still won't eat everything that's put in front of her like usual. I think the epsom salt baths and the penicillin were the most helpful from what I could tell! Thanks everyone so much again for their...

    • Shell-less Egg and Droopy Hen, Please Help!

    Just a quick update for those following, I administered some penicillin to her, as well as more calcium + egg yolk mixture. I've been reheating the heating pad as often as I can, too. She doesn't seem to want to eat on her own, but does poop every now and then, and hasn't laid anything so far...

    • Shell-less Egg and Droopy Hen, Please Help!

    Well, fair nuff! When I had been offering them oyster shells separately before, they seemed to eat them extremely hard when returning to the coop after being outside, but then I noticed they had stopped doing that so much and then started mixing it into the feed instead because I worried. They...

    • Shell-less Egg and Droopy Hen, Please Help!

    I have been feeding them layer crumbles mixed with oyster shells, cracked corn, and ocassionally omega-3 supplement when they don't get greens. Recently I'd switched to layer pellets with added omega 3 support. I give them bread fairly sparingly, but do give them lots of seeds (usually millet)...

    Thanks so much, I'll continue doing that and continue hoping for the best then! I haven't tried putting any oil on her vent yet, so that's probably a good idea too. I'll keep y'all posted!!

    • Shell-less Egg and Droopy Hen, Please Help!

    Thank you so so much... I managed to get a good bit of crushed calcium down her, so for now I'll let her rest in the dark for a bit and then try getting some other things down her later. She's strong enough still to fight back haha... and she managed to poop! I can't believe I'm so happy to see...

    • Shell-less Egg and Droopy Hen, Please Help!

    Thank you so much for the additional info!! ;v; It has benzocaine in it so that's very important to know. I had used it before on a chick with prolapse to help her heal up with no trouble, so I figured it was safe. I feel like you're right about there being a second egg with how she's acting...

    • Shell-less Egg and Droopy Hen, Please Help!

    She seems to be about the same as yesterday, though a lot less droopy. Her appetite is about the same, and her crop is still full which worries me. Seems a bit sleepy, though I doubt she slept well. I had her on the heat for about 15 mins and am working on getting some crushed citrical down her...

    • Shell-less Egg and Droopy Hen, Please Help!

    Hi there! This isn't something I wanted to have to ask about obviously, but this is of grave concern! My sweet little Butter is normally quite active and will come peck at my leg for some treats. I noticed that she hadn't done that tonight as I was getting ready to shut them in for the evening...
