Sorry its taken so long to get back on.Our hen died this morning.I would like to thank everyone for their great advice.

How often do I give her penicillin and for how many days?

My girls usually eat knockout,its a scratch with a higher protein content than regular scratch,bugs,they free range on 3 acres, scraps and I'm always giving them scrambled eggs and whole grain rice.I also bake and crush up egg shells for them.I have never been able to get them to eat much layer...

She has been eating fine up until the last couple days. I did give her 1/4 of a penicillin pill. She is still only eating seeds, other than what I can actually force feed her.I have offered her everything she loves to eat and she picks the little brown seeds.I'm going to pick up some...

I honestly can't remember when she laid an egg,it was before she molted.I assumed she stopped when she molted and wouldn't start again until spring. There is no purple in her comb,just my camera.She is a little paler now than when I took the pic. Going to work on getting her some protien. She...

I forgot to add that I was able to get her to eat a few small seeds.She will eat nothing else.So far I have tried eggs,bread,rice and honeydew.I will try noodles and I'll pick up some dog or cat food tomorrow.

Here is the picture of the poop but the color is a little off.The part that looks green was actually white.It had not been runny until she stopped eating,even yesterday it was a dark green solid.

She was pale until I dipped her.Still waiting for a poo.It's mostly watery now since she's not eating.

Here are a few pictures of her.Her crop has emptied.I just noticed that one of her eyes don't look normal,it could have always been this way,usually when we hold her she would close her eye,she has done that since she was a baby.In the pictures one of her eyes are foggy,it's not really that way...

I did find a vet from the list that would check a fecal sample it will cost $30 and they would see her for 70 plus tests.She also told me she didn't think she had cocci. If Cocci can be seen under a scope I wonder at what strength it could be seen at.

Just called my both vets in town,they won't even do a fecal float.I'm waiting for a call back from our local agricultural extension office,I doubt they can help but it's worth a shot.I hate to start meds if there not needed,I'm afraid they would do more harm than good.I'm sure I could get corid...

I thought chickens with cocci died quickly?She has been sick since Sunday and she is still alert.I called both our local vets and didn't get an answer,so I will try later.

I googled corid and what I found was for cows.Is that the same stuff I would use for a chicken? I'm going to call our local vet and see if he will check a fecal sample for me.

I gave her Wormazole.I don't have the bottle but I think it kills several types of worms,I'll have to research that. I wasn't thinking cocci because she doesn't have diarrhea .

When I first brought her inside her crop was about the size of a golf ball and was kind of hard now its squishy and flatter I guess you could say. Her poop is solid and dark green with a little white in it. She is inside in a nice cozy box getting lots of love and attention.She was already a...

I thought Poly-vi-sol was something you bought from the feed store,I'll check walgreens and see if they have it. I finally got her to drink water with the Nutri-drench in it.

Sorry for the slow relies I'm having computer issues.I did get the bugs off her.She ate a little bread soaked in water last night but she still refuses to drink water and this morning she would not eat.Last night we gave her a dose of Nutri-drench which is a nutritional supplement for...

No,it is some type of lice. It doesn't look like the lice I see in pictures on the web but some of the pics are hard to see. She is still not eating I'm really worried about her.

I just found some type of lice on her and also a few mites.I found one of these things that was huge.Not sure if you can tell anything in the pic.Anyway,I dipped her in Permectrin.I'm going to get her a nutritional supplement today.She wasn't eating this morning so I was holding her and one of...

I don't think she is egg bound I didn't feel anything.At first her crop seemed kind of hard and it was about the size of a golf ball,I'm really not sure what it should feel like and my other chickens wouldn't let me catch them to compare.She didn't poop any until sometime this morning and it was...
