    Prolapsed vent

    I have a hen who is about 9 weeks old. She’s not started laying yet, and is in a group of 9 other girls. This past Sunday I noticed her bleeding. I quarantined her, have been giving her salt baths, making sure she’s clean and put some ointment on her this morning. She’s lost a lot of blood and...

    Egg-bound hen not responding to Epsom soaks, seeing yolk dripping from vent—advice on further steps?

    I feel like I only get on this site with emergencies these days, but unfortunately it seems when it comes to chickens it doesn’t rain but pour! My hen (Olive-egger, 3 years old and as of a week ago the last survivor of her batch, background mycoplasma and survived my first-timer bumblefoot...

    Help! Epsom salt bath bumblefoot remedy backfired.

    My chicken got bumblefoot and I have been soaking her in Epsom salt water to take it off. I irresponsibly used way to much and now paying the price. My chickens foot is now yellowish as if I cooked her, and her skin seems irritated. I have been putting on Ungüento Veterinario De La Tia in hopes...

    Soft shell membrane hanging from vent - Egg Bound

    I've had suspected internal layer--2.5 y/o Barred Rock--that has a vet appointment Friday. She'd been doing well, though I'd noticed some hard swelling around her vent/lower abdomen, and that she spends time in the nesting box as if she's laying (but no egg). This all is on the tail of weird...

    small larvae/worms found when giving chicken an epsom salt bath…help!

    Hello all…I’m a long time reader, but first time poster. I created an account just for this question specifically because I am stumped. This week, one of my hens took a sudden decline. She lost weight, stopped eating, became lethargic and listless, and hasn’t been laying eggs. Her poop has...

    Jumbo Coturnix Hen Vent Prolapse

    I should know exactly what's wrong & what to do, but maybe 2nd opinions to reassure me. Noticed my hen in the nest acting like she was laying an egg.... I don't know if she laid today already or not bc there are several hens in her pen... Anyways, up on further inspection I see her backside has...
