I feel bad I let it go on that long. This morning was the first She really acted off badly. Up until now, she ran for treats and food. Also kept up with her sisters. I'm relieved that she's gone, but I wish I had the strength to cull her this morning instead of letting her go by herself. I was...
I feel horrible that there were all these lash eggs in there. I didnt know. I should have just put her down in the beginning. I thought the ascites was just it. I feel like a bad chicken mama. But she passed on a half hr. Later with her family. She died in my arms. I was too much of a coward to...
I'm back at the beginning again. I dont know what to do. I'm told baytril wont help this far along. How in the world do you kill your best friend??? And why her? This is so unfair
Mmaybe ill finish cleaning the coop tomorrow and put her back. Idk. Don't know if I want to sleep with her to listen to her breathe or just let her sleep in the nesting box. And I don't have the heart to put her down myself.
I'm not sure what to do. Don't think baytril will help. I feel bad leaving her home. And I dont sleep when I listen to her breathe. But then I also worry she will be dead in the coop. Is it okay to put her back with her sisters and roos? Not sure what she would like. I know walking around in a...
I don't think she slept last night but maybe she did. Its still labored breathing so something is in there pressing on her. She is still eating, drinking, and preening. She's alert in the daytime but cant lay down to sleep at night. This is so unfair.
I use very little bleach I .The hot water. Enough to kill the green mold. It worked in my food pantry. I worked with breeding parrots before this and know not to use alot of bleach while disinfecting things. Plus side is I can also lick everyone out since theres no more table chickens. I can...
This is what she pooped out last night before I figured out I needed to drain her. That was gross. This morning she's back to her normal self eating and drinking. Her steps even got a little faster. Her bumble is a small almost eraser sized. Was afraid of messing with it after I just poked holes...
It scared me and I hardly slept listening to her breathe. Ill put her back with her sisters then. I see new feathers growing in on her neck. She turned one december 6th. Could she have had a molt? Bleaching down the coop tomorrow. My only symptoms with everyone is the head flicking and sneezing...
Thanks. Woke up to her standing on the edge of the bed with her tail up and shes preening. Theres also full poops there too. Not sure if I should try draining more or just wait. She looks great
When she started the yellow poop she had amoxicillin for 10 days. Then the week or two after that she had lincomycin with everyone else. For the 7 days. I was just afraid after poking her (cleaned her with rubbing alcohol) but still.... I see not many live that long with ascites but she perked...
So it's ascites. I feel horrible not trying days ago but I wasnt sure. Shes so tiny and her abdomen felt normal. I guess not. I went to tuck them in and she pooped yellow. Like whats in the bowl. I immediately brought her home to drain her. How long usually do I need to drain her again? And...
Again. I dont care about his at all at the moment. I think thr table chickens will simply "disappear" as they still have green diarrhea and dont get off the table. They are old and sit and get nasty at my layers. Ive taken their food and water away, but I highly doubt they will get down to eat...
I feel nothing. She just walks like theres a stick up her bum. Shes eating and drinking and has food up her crop. Her bumble is now just a small black scab.
Not sure if a tarp would stay on the roof. As for those spores, guess I'm walking the ladder up so I can bleach the ceiling. It needs to stop raining for two seconds so the coop can dry up.
It's also pouring here which is making their ceiling soaked. There's at least 8 pin sized holes up there. I don't see it dripping, but I see the boards are definitely wet.
