Egg Yolk Peritonitis Help!

[LaFleche]

I dewormed in November or December, and the hen I had necropsied had no signs of parasite issues, so I’d be surprised if that was the issue here. But, I guess it’s worth a try. What would you use? I used safe-guard last time.

I use Flubendazole, but you can use Safeguard just as well.

How old is this hen? Looks like some kind of production hybrid to me.

She is 4, I think. Didn’t get her as a chick. Laid prolifically for two years and then this, so yes, probably a production hen... which means not uncommon for issues at this age?

Exactly. Was she a rescue from an industrial eggproduction plant?

And when did she last lay an egg?

She was a rescue from someone’s backyard who had health issues and couldn’t care for her birds anymore. She laid an egg or two at the very beginning of this laying season.

She passed away a week ago. Thanks for checking back in.

I am sorry she did not make it.

Sadly EYP is not curable.
