    Hen passed away from possible lash egg or Egg Yolk Peritonitis

    Hi there I’m new to this chicken thing and I had a hen pass away yesterday. Two weeks ago I found her with a very poopy bum which I thought may have been vent gleet. I bathed and soaked her bum and all seemed to be well. Two days ago on Sunday I noticed her behaving oddly and not really lo ring...

    Any help on egg bound hen please !

    Hello My 7 month old Silkie started laying last month, I’m not sure if she began laying too young. She laid an egg last night and was fine this morning she was fluffed up and it looked like her breathing was laboured with her tail up and down, she wouldn’t eat and her crop had not fully...

    We Thought She Was Egg Bound... It's Pyometra!

    I just wanted to relay the story of the past week with my chicken since I couldn't find much info on it while it was happening. It is about Chooch, my 2 and a half year old silkie. She is very small, only about 2.4 lbs. She was egg bound once before when laying her first egg, but had never been...

    Does this duck look egg bound, or just injured?

    Please see video! https://www.dropbox.com/s/ptph5ylepd3ln7j/IMG_5357.MOV?dl=0 She's limping along, and I think she hasn't laid an egg in 2 days - not sure if it's egg bound or stressed from being injured in general. (I have three ducks and they usually lay daily, I'm suspicious that the missing...

    Cyst??

    Honestly I have absolutely no idea what this is. I’ve had chickens now almost 10 yrs and have never seen this before. It is a huge mushy lump above her vent, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches above. If she was egg bound it has definitely broken but she is acting absolutely fine. Eating her fill, drinking...

    Another sick duck? Avian flu?

    Some of you may have read my recent post- we lost one of our khaki hens last week. She was egg bound, stopped eating, didn’t want to move around, tail bobbing. We did all the things were supposed to do (isolated her, warm soaks, calcium gluc, etc). She died after taking her to the vet and having...

    I need help...

    Hello BYC. I have a problem... I’ve had this hen who seemed a little “sick” for a while. She’s had a really pasty butt, and seemed to be getting picked on by the others. At first I wasn’t too worried about it, but today she started collapsing and sitting in an odd way. I think it might be egg...

I have a chicken (I’ve been told she’s a red sex link and I don’t know her age) and today when I got home I let her out of the run and into my yard (which is mostly brick) and she went to go scratch at a corner with some dirt. I go inside for an...

    Egg Bound w/ Few or No Symptoms? Help!

    My 3 y/o ISA Brown hen, Buffy, has very much slowed down her laying (with some intermittent lengthy breaks). However, this past week, I noticed she'd go to the box like she had to lay without producing an egg. This made me nervous about internal laying, which I'd just lost my beloved BR to after...

    Hi there, Never posted on here before so forgive me if I'm not doing this correctly. We have a polish bantam hen that has been a consistently good layer (this is her first year laying), very energetic, very spunky, and our favorite chicken. A few days ago, we found her before night chores...

    Hello! I desperately need help. I have a Barred Rock that I believe is laying internally, and I don’t know what to do. I discovered she wasn’t doing well when I picked her up and her abdomen was as hard as a softball. I tried to feel around in her vent, and I’m honestly not sure what I felt. The...

    Egg mites?? Egg bound hen??

    Hello all. Recently I posted about a leghorn I had who was exhibiting signs of being egg bound, and was laying soft shelled eggs. After an epsom salt bath and some calcium, she was laying eggs again and is back to her usual self. Another one of my chickens, a BR, is now seeming quite bound up...

    Egg stuck in Cloaca/Cloaca prolapse!? Please help!

    I am looking after my parents chickens while they are away for a few days and noticed that one of them seemed very lethargic and had a pale comb.

    I found one of my hens (I have 7 total) just an hour ago walking funny with her tail down. My family have raised hens before and one of our hens from years ago had seemingly been egg bound but we didn't know how bad this was and she died from it. When I saw this hen acting like this I...

    Egg bound budgie with deflated egg needing emergency help
