Does this mean she definitely had salpingitis, and if so, does that mean she...

    Hi everyone, so 10/27 I took Nani to the vet and sadly received an EYP diagnosis, exactly 3 weeks after I discovered something was off with her and along the way I've treated her for many different things trying to rule it all out.

    Experience with draining chicken?

    I am at a loss here. For the past week I have been working alongside my red sex link chicken. I noticed her tail was down and she wasn’t laying (she was a great layer). I gave her epsom salt baths, blow dried her, gave her calcium, soft food, vitamins and checked her vent (no egg). Days went by...
