How old is she? Is she posing like a penguin? I've had several that did that and in a few days died....but they were 6years old....really old for buttons. Most buttons don't live past 3years. Producing as many eggs as they do, takes a toll on the hens.

she’s only 4.5 months.....DH just cleaned her feet she had a really big debris ball on one. the other 3 are active, but she’s not.

See, he bought me the perfect greenhouse! I hope he figured out Loann's actual number.

Gotta BLOCK that nutjob!

I take back the landlord theory. Maybe girlfriend? Or hopeful girlfriend? Maybe he’s a stalker?

Crazy people freak me out, I could never be a Psych Nurse, I don't do well with "unpredictably crazies".

I'll get it added now.

Thank ya

Someone didn't take their medicine.

How'd you know I stopped taking it?

one of my button girls is not doing well.....she’s been fluffed and lethargic for a few hours now.....i’m not really sure of what to do.....i’m afraid she may be eggbound as i only found 1 egg today when there is usually 3.

I hate it when they're sick or out of their norm. What causes them to become egg bound? What can one do to help?

Let us know how she does.

Exactly. Nothing against them personally, I just get a bit "paranoid" when around someone acting literally crazy. Gotta protect yourselves/ourselves.

That makes sense!!! I’m assuming you’re talking about the really insane/dangerous asylum type people and/or criminal types and not just like a regular mental hospital/inpatient place or milder stuff haha

Those ones are definitely scary lol

There’s some really crazy people out there. And some aren’t sick. Just insane lol though I’d argue they’re all sick haha

Reading between the lines....if they have debris clinging to their toes then 1 or 2 things are the culprit. Their bedding isn't getting changed as often as should be, or too much moisture is in the bedding, ie; spilled water, leaking waterers. High moisture can cause fungus, mold to grow. This may be causing a respiratory infection. Try treating her with Tylan or Baytril.

If she's fluffed up, standing like a penquin, then I would suspect egg bound or peritonitis.

Let us know how she does.

The normal causes are: A lack of calcium or other nutritional issues- overweight hens are also at risk. If the egg being laid is unusually large or oddly shaped, an infection in the oviduct, if the hen is laying eggs prematurely, before her body is fully developed.
These are a few of the culprits.

Alot of peeps misdiagnosed peritonitis and egg drop syndrome as one and the same but they are not the same.
If they truly are egg bound, added calcium to their diet will help. If its peritonitis nothing will help. She may survive peritonitis or may not. I have had several hens with peritonitis that have survived but quit laying eggs. I've also had several that eventually succumbed to peritonitis.

Everyone’s a bit crazy for sure

I figured that’s what you meant but wasn’t sure haha

Apologies for being a bit defensive or weird at first. Just I’ve noticed far too many people just resort to calling anyone and everything crazy these days lol can be hard to tell exactly what people mean. Usually they’re not serious but hard to tell sometimes hah Should have known though when you said the unpredictable ones that you meant the really really bad ones though but still haha

People call even relatively minor stuff or slightly weird “crazy” these days which is why I said the good people/sick thing cause I was thinking way minor stuff like bipolar or even something a little more serious like schizophrenia or something which obviously can be pretty serious but also can be managed haha

Personally I majored in psych (well technically Behavioral Science lol but started Psych/basically the same hah) so I find why people do stuff/figuring things out really interesting lol

Plus I’ve known people with both those, multiple people actually lol, and those are big ones frequently just labeled as “crazy” right away so I may have assumed.. Sorry.

But even something like stalking there’s usually a reason for it/underlying cause. Like I said, I like figuring this stuff out.

Some people truly are insane though lol there’s definitely some very screwed up/psycho/nasty/scary/terrifying people hah

Anyway.

Sorry.
