    Sick hen(?)

    Bumping to update on her situation: she’s dead. What she had was quick, she showed symptoms for 3 days before abruptly just passing. Didn’t seem worse this morning when I let her out, but I came home and she was dead. It’s been hours because her body is stiff and cold. Whatever it was I hope it...

    Sick hen(?)

    I got SMZ from my vet which is what they had/recommended. I used it in the past to treat egg yolk peritonitis(?), and it worked very well. .5 mL a day for 7 days.

When I collect multiple times a day to avoid broken eggs (when I can), they’re all hard-shelled...

    Sick hen(?)

    Crop was emptied, it’s not a crop issue. I put her by herself just so she can relax and eat without any competition. She slept in a nesting box last night, she never does that. Is there a general poultry antibiotic I could give her? I’m certain it’s bacterial.

    Sick hen(?)

    Hey all, I have a hen who’s pretty lethargic. Noticed it yesterday. She’s sitting around a little during the day which is unlike her , comb is drooping, and she has a pasty green-yellow fecal discharge. She’s also sleeping on the coop floor tonight which is very peculiar for her. Besides that...
