Henietta is my only original chicken left, she is a hybrid "miss pepperpot" girl who faced many fox, dog incidents and survived. Henietta has 1 centimetre spurs and she sometimes attacks/flogs me when i am handling a hen. She had her eye pecked out ages ago (almost treated, little bit bubbly), she is going through slow molt, has a bad flash wound resently caused from the cockeral, she sometimes has clear discharge from her nose, I think she is egg bound and has prolaspe, she doesnt lay eggs ( kepts going to next box, stays in for an hour). I am conserned about her breathing as she kepts her mouth open, lifts her head and breathes in; it is not loud breathing and seems to occur most when she sits down.
Right now she is not a cheerful hen at the moment, I don't know what to do with her..
I have wormed all my hens resently, there is little red mite and no louse.
She is suffering so much, I dont want her to suffer so she will be going up to 'chicken heaven'. I think she has egg pertinitus, which |I heard is a chronic diease, not treatable and she would go eventually. RIP Henietta.
