She's still surviving. She's not in as horrible condition as when I made this post initially, but she's clearly not at 100%. Her comb has slight purple at the end and a slight droop, but nothing like before. Occasionally I see her with her tail down. She does eat and drink. We may cull her soon...

I get a feeling it could be salpingitis. 2 of my hens a while ago had it, and she is showing a lot of the same signs. I haven't seen a lash egg, but maybe it's coming. And actually, now that I think of it, my husband and I saw a weird-looking ball of fleshy-looking stuff in the yard today (not...

Aw I am so sorry to hear! :( Maybe you should post some of the symptoms of these hens on BYC. I wonder if it's something contagious going around your flock.

Thanks for the advice. Is it okay to deworm if I'm not certain it's worms? Do I have to worm the whole flock? I have never done this before so sorry for newbie questions.

Bump! I really need help with this hen if anyone has suggestions.

So I decided it wouldn't hurt to give her a syringe full of egg yolk, which she did take, and put her in the bath to soak some of the poop off her butt. After I put her back outside though, I realized that it actually looks like her bottom is swollen! This looks extremely similar to what...

Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong with my hen? Could it be organ failure? She is an older (unsure of the age but definitely 4+) RIR. Her name is Reba. Here are her symptoms: -Drooping comb with the ends turning purple -No appetite (refused scratch just now) -Poopy butt - I noticed it...
