Cayuga adventures: What are they up to now?

[shawluvsbirds]

One of my chickens has yolk and albumen coming out of her vent. We found her in the nest box, lethargic. So I brought her in and felt inside her, no shells, but as soon as I removed my finger a lot of yolk and albumen shot out of her. (Not kidding it shot out).
So I gave her an epsom soak and flushed her out with vinegar water. I have been giving her nutri-drench/water mix periodically.
Its gonna be a long night.

Oh. . poor baby.

I hope she survives.

 

[Cayuga momma]

Thanks guys. I hope she does too, but she's not looking good.

Here is my poor Jett.

 

[Cayuga momma]

So I checked on Jett. I found her panting so I moved her box to a cooler area, but then I noticed she was wet and yellow all over her tail, butt, and belly.

Her vent keeps pulsing too.

She drank some water, but she won't stand on her own anymore

She must have had an egg or eggs bust up further than you can feel. How is she this morning?

 

[Cayuga momma]

She is still here, but extremely week. She will drink on her own, but she won't stand. I'm gonna give her some antibiotics and calcuim and then let her rest for a bit.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Bless her heart and yours sure hope the meds help.

 

[Cayuga momma]

Bless her heart and yours sure hope the meds help.

I've given her antibiotics, tums, and now I'm slowing syringing her watery egg yolk/nutri-drench mix.
She will open her eyes when I'm syringing stuff in her mouth, but then she closes them. She will not stand.

How’s Jett this afternoon? @Cayuga momma
