    sick hen (end of the road for her?)

    Yes. The blockage was hard and black, but I don't know what it was. Also there was a piece of undigested corn right next to it. It was weird. All around the blockage the intestines were really hard and thick.

    Thank you all. I really appreciate that. I felt so horrible yesterday. At least now I have an idea of what made her so sick, and I don't think it was any disease that was contagious. So at least I can rest easy a little and not be so paranoid with the rest of the flock. Bless all of you for...

    sick hen (end of the road for her?)

    Unfortunately the hen got worste. She was so weak and not eating that we decided it would be best to put her down. I hated doing it but felt it was for the best. After she was gone I opened her up and noticed about a cup of fluid in her abdomine. The intestines were about 3x the size they should...

    I'm not really tech savvy but I will see if one of my daughters could help me out and take a picture and post it. I checked her for an egg this morning as you had described and there's nothing inside. Completely empty. She has not laid in more than 2 months because of molting (or age?)...

    I just checked on the sick hen and her comb is getting a little purple. also her wattles are light pink but at the ends they are a pale yellow.No swelling of any kind anywhere. She seems to be breathing a little harder now. Could this be some sort of disease?

    sick hen (end of the road for her?)

    Did my usual rounds this morning with the flock. No other ones sick. Went to check on sick one and she was wandering around the laundry room. She had jumped out of the laundry basket that I had put her in last night. She seems to feel a little better. Her poo is not so runny today. It is still...

    sick hen (end of the road for her?)

    I set her in warm water for about 20 min. She didn't try to bear down or anything. Nothing came out. I can't feel anything hard in her abdomen, it feels like alot of fluid.She's getting weaker and kind of sways when she's standing, but won't lay down. She did finally drink a little water and ate...

    I think you may be right. Earlier this afternoon when I went to give her a few drops of pepto and a shot of penicillin I felt around on her lower belly by her vent and green poop oozed out. her abdomen is very bloated but soft. I am going to set her in warm water and see if it helps. Thank you!

    sick hen (end of the road for her?)

    I noticed yesterday that my hen's feathers were ruffled, wings hanging down, poopy bottom, just not feeling well. I brought her inside to inspect her and noticed that she has lost quite a bit of weight. I put her in my laundry room where she could be warm and put vitamins in her water. She would...
