thanks.
so tonight I moved the U of A blues , the black pene rooster I got from you Ron and the 2 young Emp roosters into the dogloo coop in the big run. Tomorrow when I let them out they will be with the older black pene flock ( older by about 2 weeks I think ) hoping all goes well.
Rons black pene rooster is nearly as big as the other I kept but I have 1 huge crele penedesenca rooster in there too. he is a week older than the black pene flock.
I hope all goes well . that crele I want to use with the silver ameraucana I hatched 5 weeks ago.
the 2 white empordanesa roosters I am not sure if I will keep but would like them to grow some to see if one will be a replacement for Whitey next year

I moved Calamity Jane, my Partridge Pene Pullet in with the Layer flock tonight and move the Bresse Pullet that was beaten up back out with her sisters. My HRIR that has been sick is getting better and I will move her back out soon too. What ever was wrong with her was not contagious. She always has been a special needs Hen--she seems to have Narcolepsy and may be blind in one eye. She walks very slowly too but does not seem to have leg or feet problems. It all seems like nerve problems.

I hope your chicken moves goes well Jason!

thanks Ron. glad your hen is getting better. I think that even the older chickens in this run are still young so I think it will all go well. I am sure there will be some picking though lol

Sorry about your sick hen. Earlier this spring, my OE had vent gleet and sour crop. I treated her with generic monistat 3 vaginal suppositories and she recovered completely. If what you are doing doesn't work and you want to try what I did, just cut each suppository into 3 pieces and feed one of the pieces to your hen in the morning and another at night. (4 1/2 days of treatment) Once you have given her every piece of suppository, give her plain yogurt to restore the good bacteria. It took care of my hen's sour crop and vent gleet. A tube of lotion was included in the box with the suppositories that I purchased at Target. I used some of that on her vent area and then added it to my chicken medicine box.

Thanks so so much. I have an embarrasing question... do I give her the monistat orally or in her vent or both. I think orally but want to be sure. She is still lethargic but her crop feels less full. She has vomited three times and the last time I could see scratch in it. I haven't given them scratch since yesterday afternoon. I tried to give her some yogurt and I could see that she pecked at it a bit but didn't really eat much. She is isolated. hope she feels better tomorrow.

Oh, no!  What a thing to wake up to!  Are they okay???

I'm am so lucky. I have so many chickens it would be hard to know if a few are missing, but I didn't see any signs of predictors

Good! That must have been a relief! It has happened to me a couple times in the past 3 years of chicken keeping. I hate that pit in the stomach feeling!

Orally for sour crop. One of my friends had a chicken with a bad case of vent gleet and she gave the dosage in her vent. With my chicken, I gave it orally which helped take care of the fungus infection in her crop and then went through her system and helped with the vent gleet at the other end.

I had one this Winter that had Vent Gleet but not sour crop. I put 1/3 of a monistat 7 suppository in the vent each night before treating. I put the cream on the outside of the vent--I also washed her back area with baby shampoo each night.

The instructions I found said to treat twice a day but that was not going to work. I did not have help in the morning--It took two boxes of Generic Monistat from Walmart.

I did give them a gel cap of Ultra pro biotic--It was a powder so I opened it up and mixed it with some plain yogurt. I did this for three days.

It all worked!

This was mostly just a test to see if they fixed the problem of posting photos with IE. It is still a little fussy, I had to hit preview each time to add another photo. Anyway, these are my new LF chocolate orpingtons I'm really hoping for a pair, since I only hatched two. These are my new crele orpingtons And this is one of my new lavender orpingtons I also hatched a bunch of bantam black & chocolate orpingtons, but I didn't do a photo shoot with them. Okay, enough messing around and back to chores.

Congrats Deb, <3

I am so scared to go to your house. LOL ! I will want everything!!!

You put crele on anything and I'm in love. But the first time I saw a picture of a crele orp, I needed them.

Photo lifted from the internet

I just don't know what it is about this picture but doesn't it seem like this chicken should have a belt around the middle? He reminds me of a FAT old man with a belt cutting him in half with some above and below the belt. Don't ask me why...... but it does.

And look at a red crele orp.

i know nothing about shows or showing...I just know what I think is pretty

Welcome to the thread
Hope you get your pair and VVVVV what chiquita said

Your pic doesn't help.

The

I think Della may be an internal layer and I am pretty sure she has sour crop. It's been a bad day for her. She has always had egg issues weak, shells, no shells, weird membraney embryo shaped things with albumen only the last couple of days she has sat and sat and sat and produced nothing....none of that is totally odd for her but I didn't know enough to think anything of it. Then she was just standing in the run didn't make for the gate when I let everyone out to range and when I picked her up he fanny was damp with clear ick and she drooled on my arm. I didn't even know chickens COULD drool. So I isolated her and googled her symptoms and BOTH conditions seem to fit...sigh. I gave her ACV and water with a syringe massaged her crop and she threw up. Massaged her again a couple of hours later and the same thing happened. I was going to give her yogurt in a bit. Any thoughts on either?

I did NOT know chickens can vomit! I learn something new every day.

yeah

WOW! Nice.
