    Treatment after finding lash egg

    My 3-year-old Brahma hen, Seana, has been having some reproductive tract issues (funky weak-shelled eggs) for over a year now. Just last week I found her standing in the corner of the coop facing the wall, looking droopy and pale, and having yellow-tinged poops. I brought her into the hospital...

    Should I use antibiotics on the whole flock?

    I have a hen (1 1/2 year old bantam Cochin) who suddenly last week went to lay an egg, instead spewed nasty green diarrhea, and hasn’t been right since. She has been to the vet twice, worms and bacteria. I worked the flock, she is on amoxicillin. She went back to normal but then down hill again...

    EYP or Salpingitis Strikes Again (Possibly)

    Hi all! I’m back with another case of EYP/Salp. 1/4 of my Lav Orps has already passed from it. It’s heartbreaking. I’d rather they never lay another egg if it keeps them safe. Anyway. Janice was dealing with this last fall. I was treating with Baytril and was saying my goodbyes. Her...

    Hen with salpingitis - doxycycline or amoxicillin for antibiotic treatment and how do you get them?

    I have a 2 year old hen that recently laid a lash egg. She has been eating and drinking and acting normally. When I checked her vent it looked okay, maybe a little prolapsed, but when I pushed on her abdomen some pus did come out of the vent. I was able to get amoxicillin and have been giving...

    Salpingitis / Lash Egg / soft shell egg / no shell egg

    You all are the best and I would really appreciate your input here. I have a 2 year old EE who I believe has salpingitis. The progression of symptoms were a soft shelled egg, then an egg with no shell, then what I believe was a lash egg which was expelled with a lot of fluid. She eats...

    Help please: is this vent fleet or salpingitis

    I had to cull a hen that was struggling with vent gleet for quite a while. At least that’s what I thought. I did Epsom salt baths, gave suppositories orally that are usually for female yeast infections. I tried creams and did a 3 day Epsom salt flush. Nothing worked. Now I have another hen...

    Two weeks ago, my SO and I noticed that one of our chickens wasn't feeling well. It turned out to be a case of a lash egg, and consequently salpingitis. We began treatment with antibiotics on the day we discovered it, and we have been continuing the treatment since then (as instructed, for a...

    Salpingitis? Peritonitis?

    Hello all. I had a white leghorn pass this morning after showing signs of what seemed to be an egg-binding, however I performed a necropsy a little while ago, and found what was very clearly a lash egg in her abdomen. Does this mean she definitely had salpingitis, and if so, does that mean she...

    Lethargic chicken:: Yellow poop, lash

    Does anyone recognize this? It’s that a worm or just part of the poop? I’m thinking she is/has developed EYP based on symptoms from another chicken I have. Salpingitis? Worm or just black poop? Would greatly appreciate any thoughts!

    Anything contagious that presents as either salpingitis or water belly/ascites?

    Hello, I have unfortunately lost 2 of my ex-battery girls quite close together, and have another 2 hens I am concerned about.

    Lash egg (puss pocket)

    "Pumpkin" expelled something odd. Perhaps a "lash egg" which is a puss-like substance. I've attached photos, do you agree or have other ideas? If so, can you recommend a drug or treatment that might help? She is the last of her flock and lives full-time indoors with us (free reign of the...

    Hi all. I have a hen whose bottom has been getting larger within the last month, during which period she has stopped laying (normal for this time of year anyway). Her abdomen feels firm, but not solid. It’s squish-able but not squishy. Symmetrical and no solid characteristics or landmarks. It...
