Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I don't know how old my girls are/were. Old Bitch was named such because she was clearly a more mature bird when we got them. I started with 8 and now have 5. Old Bitch died suddenly and we did an at home postmortem examination and found she had one lung that...

Thank you all for the condolences, support, and the sharing of your knowledge. Hopefully I won't need y'alls medical advice for a good long while.

He did not take pics. However, after some looking around he believes it was olvarian cancer. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find info about how aggressive the cancer tends to be. Or how long from the time they develop the cancer until they become symptomatic. Chicken illness is a...

So my husband decided to dissect Who. What he found was a large mass on her intestines. I'm off in search of info. How the hell was she laying eggs 5-6 weeks ago is beyond me.

Me too. But I'm glad she's not struggling anymore.

To let you all know... Who took pity on me. She died about 10 minutes ago. I put her out in the sunshine where she liked to sunbathe. She went to sleep and just stopped breathing. Thankfully she decided to take the movie exit.

She currently has no desire to walk anywhere. She gets tired and lays down frequently. Appears to be sleeping. Eyes closed. And general lack of awareness.

She is absolutely emaciated. Her energy levels are worse now than they were when I got back from La. She really perked up 3 or 4 days into the Corid treatment. She was clearly underweight, but was back to being active and was feeding and drinking well. Behaviorally she was 95% back to normal...

Crop is 100% empty this morning. Small amount of poop. It was milky colored with small grainy bits of green in it. The whole poop was the texture of mucus. As far as molding her underside is mostly bare. I don't know if this is molting or normal because until this illness, picking her (or any...

I may attempt that.

It wasn't full like the others are, but it didn't feel doughy. There is no smell from her mouth. I will read up more on impacted crop. Would that cause her to be raggedy looking? Her tail is still down and comb flopped over. I mean the poor girl looks like she's been through the spin cycle.

She was doing better but since I have stopped the Corid she has declined again. She's cool to the touch which has not been my experience in the past. The first time I touched my chickens I was surprised by how warm their feet and combs were. She's very lethargic. She's still eating (mostly meal...

I'm positive it is Corid 20% powder. And I put 1 tsp per gallon of water for 5 days. So all 6 of my girls got treated. I was instructed to not allow them another water source while treating but that was impossible for me because I allow them to free range. I stopped treatment a couple of days...

Update. Day 3 of Corid treatment and she is improving. Who has significantly more energy. Her comb is still flopped over, but her tail has been up at times today. She actually ran to one of the other chickens today when she thought she had something to eat. And her overall demeanor is better. I...

New poop pic. Anyone with more experience please feel free to advise.

Mushrooms in the run and a couple pics of Who.

So, I wasn't home for a month and had a neighbor caring for my chickens. This is what happened... I live in Alabama (this only matters because of climate and predators) and went to Louisiana to help with hurricane Ida relief. The neighbor who cared for my chickens were instructed to let the...
