When a chicken is on Deslorelin implants, here's what typically happens:

1. Already developed, enlarged follicles: Deslorelin implants do not directly affect already developed, enlarged follicles in the ovaries. These follicles may still persist and can potentially produce eggs. However, the continuous release of Deslorelin from the implants will prevent the development of new follicles and the release of additional eggs.

2. Size of the ovaries and oviduct: Deslorelin implants may not significantly reduce the size of the ovaries or the oviduct. The primary goal of Deslorelin therapy is to suppress or control reproductive activity by inhibiting the release of reproductive hormones. However, individual responses and changes in ovarian or oviductal size may vary.

3. Time for Deslorelin to work: The effectiveness of Deslorelin implants can be observed within a few weeks of administration. However, the exact timeframe can vary depending on the individual chicken and the specific reproductive condition being targeted. It is essential to consult with your veterinarian, who can provide guidance based on your chicken's unique situation.

4. Signs that it's working: One way to determine if Deslorelin is working is by monitoring changes in the chicken's behavior and physical attributes. You may observe a reduction in mating behaviors, such as reduced aggression or a decrease in mounting or egg laying activities. Additionally, you may notice a decrease in the size and frequency of the egg productions. However, it's important to keep in mind that individual responses to Deslorelin can vary, so working closely with your veterinarian is crucial for monitoring progress and adjusting the treatment plan if needed.

Remember, Deslorelin implant therapy should only be administered under the supervision and guidance of a veterinarian experienced in avian medicine. They can provide specific instructions and monitor your chicken's response to the treatment. Regular follow-up appointments will help assess the effectiveness of Deslorelin and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.

When a chicken is on Deslorelin implants, here's what can happen to already developed, enlarged follicles in the ovaries:

1. Suppression of Follicular Development: Deslorelin implants can help suppress follicular development in the ovaries. This means that existing mature follicles, which are fluid-filled sacs containing the egg, may not continue to grow and develop as they typically would during the reproductive cycle. The growth of these follicles can be inhibited by the constant release of deslorelin.

As for the size reduction of the ovaries or the oviduct:

2. Ovary Size: Deslorelin implants may help reduce the size of the ovaries in some cases. When the release of reproductive hormones is suppressed by deslorelin, it can impact the overall activity and size of the ovaries. However, the specific effects on individual chickens may vary.

3. Oviduct Size: The oviduct, the reproductive tube where the egg travels, may not directly be affected by deslorelin implants. The primary mode of action of deslorelin is the suppression of hormone release, which impacts follicular development and ovulation. The size of the oviduct may not have a significant change as a direct effect of deslorelin treatment.

Regarding the timeline for Deslorelin to work and how to know if it's effective:

4. Onset of Action: The onset of action for deslorelin implants can vary between individuals. Generally, it can take several days to weeks for the full effects of deslorelin to be observed in a chicken. The timing can depend on various factors, including the individual bird's hormonal status and the specific condition being treated.

5. Effectiveness: The effectiveness of deslorelin treatment is typically assessed by observing changes in the behavior and physical signs related to reproductive activity. This may include a decrease in mating behaviors, reduction or cessation of egg production, and decreased ovarian enlargement. Your veterinarian will guide you on what specific signs to look for in your chicken and may also recommend follow-up examinations or hormone level testing to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment.

It's important to note that individual responses to Deslorelin can vary, and the guidance of a veterinarian experienced in avian medicine is vital throughout the treatment process. They can provide personalized advice based on your chicken's specific condition and monitor the progress to ensure the treatment is working as intended.

Oh odd the previous question was asked of TuduBOT twice and she gave a slightly different answer!

More questions pls...
What happens to the already developed follicles in the ovaries when on Deslorelin? Do they continue to develope into eggs or what?
Will my hen have physical or behavioral changes while on Deslorelin?

I apologize for any confusion caused by the differences in the previous responses. Let me provide you with accurate information regarding your questions:

1. Already developed follicles: When your hen is on Deslorelin, the already developed follicles in the ovaries may continue to develop into eggs and be laid. Deslorelin does not directly inhibit the growth and development of already mature follicles. It primarily suppresses the development of new follicles by inhibiting the release of reproductive hormones.

2. Physical and behavioral changes: Yes, hens on Deslorelin may experience physical and behavioral changes. Some common changes observed include a decrease in mating behaviors and a reduction in or cessation of egg production. The suppression of reproductive hormones can lead to behavioral changes such as decreased aggression, less vocalization, and reduced sexual activity. The specific changes may vary between individual hens.

It's important to note that the effects of Deslorelin can vary from bird to bird, and it's always best to consult with a veterinarian experienced in avian medicine regarding the specific needs and responses of your hen. They can provide guidance and monitor the progress to ensure that the treatment is working effectively and address any concerns or changing circumstances that may arise.

Remember to maintain regular communication with your veterinarian and schedule follow-up appointments as necessary to ensure the health and well-being of your hen throughout the Deslorelin treatment.

A few more for TudyBOT pls...

What would cause a proliferation of numerous enlarged follicles?

What does it mean if a follicle is misshapen? When it's more oval than round and the edges are not smooth but irregular.

Why are there less or no insects (particularly flies) on cooler, cloudy days with a little rainfall on and off?

Here are the answers to your questions:

1. Proliferation of numerous enlarged follicles: There can be several factors that contribute to a proliferation of numerous enlarged follicles in hens. One common cause is hormonal imbalances, such as an excess of estrogen, which can lead to an increased number of follicles developing in the ovaries. Other potential causes include certain reproductive disorders, genetic factors, or underlying health conditions that disrupt the normal hormonal feedback loop.

2. Misshapen follicle: If a follicle is misshapen, displaying an irregular oval shape rather than a smooth, round shape, it could indicate an abnormal development or dysfunction. This irregularity in shape may be associated with a hormonal imbalance or an issue with follicular development in the ovary. It's advisable to consult with a veterinarian experienced in avian medicine who can conduct a thorough examination and provide a proper diagnosis.

3. Insect population and weather: Cooler, cloudy days with a little rainfall can lead to a decrease in insect populations, particularly flies. There are a few reasons for this phenomenon. Firstly, cooler temperatures can slow down insect activity and decrease their reproductive rates. Additionally, rain can disrupt breeding sites or wash away sources of food for insects. Cloud cover can also limit the amount of sunlight available, which can impact insect behavior and migration patterns. However, it's important to note that insect populations can vary based on geographical location and other factors, so these observations may not be universal.

I hope these explanations help! Remember, if you have any concerns about your chickens' health or behavior, it's always best to consult with a veterinarian who can provide accurate advice based on their specific situation.

Will an enlarged, irregularly shaped follicle in the ovary harm a hen? Will it develop into an egg? Or what will or can happen to it?
