    Belly hard for two days, then suddenly goes soft. Please help!!

    It's amazing, and very odd. Peter Brown told me she was laying internally. But when I took her out last night, she stopped acting sick, and started acting like a chicken again. I don't get it. She's a little warm outside, but I have fans, waterbottles, ice. She should be fine. It's wierd, but...

    4H option didn't work out... Maybe I'm just stupid with computers, but after two hours, my head ached. Nothing. She is standing up more, and my Dad told me to take her back outside today. I leave Friday, and then she's out of my care for a full month. Dad says she's panting due to the...

    Belly hard for two days, then suddenly goes soft. Please help!!

    Tonight, Ursula has moved herself from in front of the TV, to underneath my bedside table. She is panting right now. The room is cooler than I would like, she eats either grapes, or bread, and sometimes scratch. I have frozen water bottles to cool her off, and am going to give her the Tums right...

    Okay. Ursula is up this morning. She preens, but she's panting. She seems interested in the bowl of grapes.

    Okay Sheila, I had a strain of Bumblefoot hit my flock last summer. Almost every bird had it. I do know how to treat it. Quite well thankfully. I'll work on the electrolytes next. My feed store is closed.

    JJ, I can't afford it. He has a charge just to talk to him. I couldn't even get through to him. I called thirty times, every five minutes. I'll try again. I can't do anything about her. I've tried the Tums, and the baths, nothing worked. Is there anything else I can do that anyone knows of????

    Belly hard for two days, then suddenly goes soft. Please help!!

    Okay everyone. Now I'm confused! Ursula hasn't moved at all, pooped once early this morning, won't eat, I've forced her to drink through the use of a syringe, and done nothing but sleep! Her face is pale, but her comb and wattles aren't. She returns to a normal color when I put her in a warm...

    Belly hard for two days, then suddenly goes soft. Please help!!

    Okay, Ursula is awake this morning, and I've got the Tums mixture. I lifted her out of the box I'm keeping her in, so she could move more. I lifted her out at 8:10, and she started panting when I set her down. She's still panting! But, she is a little more mobile. She squirted some of the most...

    Belly hard for two days, then suddenly goes soft. Please help!!

    I have grit, but no oyster shell. I've given her a couple baths, and she seems more relaxed. She isn't breathing as hard anymore, but she's still tired. She's eating a little bit of scrambled egg, but that's only when I'm not watching. Should the Tums mixture be watery or like paste. Flavored or...

    Belly hard for two days, then suddenly goes soft. Please help!!

    Nope. Not a single surviving case of pasty butt. I had a chick with it, but it only survived a few days. Ursula would remain sitting while pooping, thus covering herself in poop.

    Belly hard for two days, then suddenly goes soft. Please help!!

    I just finished with a soaking, and she pooped a little bit, but not much. She's a little happier to not have her back end covered in her own poop. I think her comb is a little redder, but she still won't stand up. I'll try another bath after she eats something. She's alert, but won't eat. She...

    Quote: Yes. I will post one now. She's only a year old. She eats Purina Hen Scratch, Layena, Corn, Protien. And the ocasional fruit. I think she layed an egg a week or two ago... Old age, extreme cases of eggbound. I'm so worried now because I didn't know what eggbound was. All of them...

    I live in Texas, and there are no avian vets that really know chickens. Dad won't drive me, no matter what. He thinks she's fine! Thank you jjthink! I was losing hope that no one wanted to help. She's drinking more now, and I've got her in my room to stay out of the heat. She's black and white...

    Please!!!!!!! Someone help!!!!!! I've had six die in four months!! I can't handle another death! Unfortuatly, they all died from strokes. I think it was either old age or head trauma from a bigger, meaner bird. Please help!

    I've posted a topic on Ursula before, but now she's worse!!! Ursula had a hard belly for two days, and today I saw her on the nest. Now, I find no egg from her, and she's exhausted!!! She won't stand up, and if she does, she flumps back down instantly. She's breathing hard, and leans to her...
