Cocoa, my 2 yo hen, was walking around kind of lethargic in the run yesterday night. I took her in the house to soak her for egg binding but now I’m having second thoughts about egg binding. Symptoms: not eating much.
She is still alive this morning, but her crop won’t empty. She sat down for the first time last night and her abdomen is no longer swollen, but no egg. She is eating a little better and had some sugar water. She is pooping watery poo and normal poo. The normal looking poop smells bad too. No idea what’s happening. I’ll try the calcium tablet to see if that helps.
She may have laid internally. It's good that she's able to poop.
I have Liquamycin oxytetracycline injection and Corid soluble powder coccidiostat. Can I use those?
She is back with the flock and is now oozing yellow foam out of her vent. I’m getting scared now so any ideas?
Yes. Her last egg was 2 days before she started showing symptoms. She lays huge eggs. Her eggs won’t fit in a carton!
