Have y'all seen this?
Notice row 29 on the CHICEN tab.

So about 0.1 mg is the requirement. The feed being used, Nature's Best Organic, lists Sodium Selenite as an ingredient, so the hens are getting some selenium.

So is there anything I can do for my hen other than watch her? A recap of what's going on:
-Transparent back of comb
-Not laying, fairy egg yesterday, nothing after that
-White face flushes
-White milky poop with lots of urates
-Will walk up to me by herself and just stare at me (she's usually skittish)

Yes, you could tube feed her and start antibiotics.

She's still eating fine. Will I need to go to the vet for antibiotics? It's really a last resort.

It would be best to visit a vet.

The poop you describe is a sign of not eating well.

Oh, okay. I'll try to ask my mom if we can take her. I'm not sure she'll agree

 

[topochico225]

Okay, I gave myself one more day (as well as yesterday) to monitor the poops and saw nothing out of the ordinary. She's still not laying, and has the weird comb thing and white face.

@topochico225 What was the resolution with this hen?

She's still kicking as of now. I still see yellowish urates from her sometimes, but I believe the other problems were caused by red mites. Thanks for asking!
