Hello I'm guilherme from brazil
I'm glad I found a discussion board about chickens in general because I'm worried about what's happening. As you guys may guess english isn't my native language. I'll try my best to clearly express myself.
We have a variety of chickens called "galize". For practical purposes, they are similar to regular chickens, except they are half-grown - smaller in size. There's a chicken in particular:
- she's probably 4~5 years old
- they (all) haven't been laying for more than 6 months
- It's been two month that her fluff region is swell and bulky
- As soon as I noticed the problem, probably a week later, I isolated her and treated her with terramycin for 4 day which turned out to be useless
- In her isolation I checked her poop and I didn't look different
- Her bulky region is indeed much warmer than normal and feels slightly rigid ( like a relaxed human biceps)
- Despite all, she feeds, walks, takes sandbath regularly and she doesn't present any sign of pain
I'm not really sure if this is a eggbound problem, perhaps you may help us
Thank you
