I had a couple of hens that had the same kind of eggs you were talking about and I just really increased their calcium. I gave them cottage cheese, yogurt, oatmeal and spinach,kale and collards greens. I researched things that were high in calcium and gave them tons of it. I would put flax...

I am so sorry to hear about your Rosie!! I certainly understand your situation I have dealt with it several times. It is very hard :(

I am so sorry to hear about Ruby! She was a beautiful girl! She was blessed to have you,it sounds like you loved her very much. I understand exactly what you are talking about. It was my 12 year old daughter who wanted the chickens and I could never have imagined that I would become so attached...

So sorry you are having to go through this with Ruby! It is so heartbreaking!! I would say just keep her warm inside and let her rest tonight. She can build up some energy and maybe you can get something down her tomorrow. If you have a syringe without a needle that would really help you. Just...

Pinolechic - Both times my girls got the watery green/yellow poop I knew it was a bacterial infection and used Baytril and they got better. I think in the case of ascites it is difficult to keep infection from setting in. I think it is just a matter of time because the ascites is the product of...

Pinolechic- I had a hen that had ascites and she all of a sudden just stood in one place all day and stopped eating and had labored breathing. I brought her inside for the night and took her to my vet the next day. He started draining her and could not get anything out. He used a bigger needle...

Tamtam- My thoughts are with you and I am so sorry about Buttercup!! Pinolechic- So sorry about your Petunia!! The loss is very hard especially when you fight so hard to try and make them better. My Shelby has the same problem and along with Tamtam we have tried everything to understand what...

RobinZech I'm so sorry about our loss!! I had that happen to one of my Buff Orp. Gracie had fluid on her backside and it appears she had fatty liver syndrome . She was mostly laying good eggs. Every once in a while laid a Shell less. She ate well and appeared happy and healthy. She was very...

That is what my vet recommended was the capsules. She said one a day and it would be so much easier to put in different kinds of foods. I too have been doing the liquid and it does seem like more work!

So glad to hear Ruby is doing better. Hopefully she isn't hiding from you any more. Just wanted to pass on some information: I spoke with my vet about Shelby and possibly bringing her in to drain and we talked about the Milk Thistle. She said don't worry about overdosing and she highly...

Just checked back in to this thread and I read about Clementine. Guesswhatchickenbutt- I am sorry sorry for your loss!! That is the same thing that happened to my Mattie I took her to the vet to get drained but she died on the table. I think the positive side to all of this is we can learn...

Terryg- I forgot to ask if you think the spa treatment would have been good for the vent gleet along with the epsom salt orally?

Terry- thank you for the spa treatment info. I have been on your site before and followed your instructions on the epsom salt treatment for vent gleet. I did it several times and felt it was making a difference. I just was unable to see if it would help her over the long term because Georgia...

Terryg- So sorry for your loss. I agree it is very hard to make that decision and it is very important to keep a watchful eye on them. I feel very blessed that I have time everyday to spend with my girls. Everyday I hold them and love on them and I feel confident that I am alerted to the...

It seems like it has gone down a little more but mostly the same. Yes this heat is horrible. I lost one of my roosters last week. It was 105 here. He was 3 1/2 so maybe age / heat got him. My girls really love the frozen corn/peas in a bowl of water, it helps cool them down!! There is a good...

How is Buttercup doing in this heat? Got any eggs from Chickabod yet?

The girls are doing good. I can't tell if it is going down any more but I know for sure it isn't getting any bigger. They both really hate when I come at them with the eye dropper! :) I started dipping bread in the milk thistle mixture and they love that!! I need to come up with something more...
