Twice a day is better.

Stick with the amoxicillin. It will be more effective. Unless a vet can prescribe something stronger, I recommend ordering the Fish Mox. Call them and they will ship it today and you will likely get it Monday, just as you will be running out of the amoxicillin you broke up into smaller doses.

Ah, good news and not so good news. Good she appears to be feeling a bit better but not good about the crop. I'm going to suggest two things. First is to very gently lift the bottom of her crop up about an inch and just roll it a few times, being careful not to push too hard on the crop. If...

Wait until she starts feeling better tomorrow to offer her food. The antibiotic will probably cause improvement by tomorrow, unless she's too far gone. Water is more important right now.

That's enough antibiotic for today. Starting tomorrow just give her the amoxicillin, and I hope you can get more amoxicillin before what you have on hand runs out. She needs to get it for a full ten days. She should perk up by tomorrow, but continue the calcium and the amoxicillin even if she...

Good. Did you start her on the Tylan? The sooner you start an antibiotic for a hen that has had an egg stuck or broken inside her, the better chance there is that she will be able to continue to lay. If the infection goes too long untreated, the worse the risk is of her going sterile or worse...

Thanks for that last information. It helps a lot. Nugget may be suffering from an infection in her reproductive track caused by the irritation of the egg breaking inside her. This is not a rare event with layers. It's very important to treat it with an antibiotic. You probably don't have an...

You need to describe her behavior. Poop alone isn't enough to make a diagnosis. -Has Nugget been laying eggs? -When was the last one? -Is Nugget active and eating? -Or is she crouching in a corner with her eyes closed and her tail held low and flat?
