Ok I need to get some me work done here, these horses and chickens are time thieves!!

I better get the old girls in before the mosquitoes eat them alive!

Truly says stop playing with the chickens and let me in!

Did they give a timeline for results?

How are the others doing? All ok? Is it still hot as blazes there? My cousin in Bakersfield had her power out again Saturday over night. She said it's crazy hot for this time of the year.

Cooler here today. No results (but they are going to call me back)

It is not a laying issue as she does not lay unless she is laying internally. I did see a suggestion for epsom salt soaks. She has been getting one once a week since the mass was spotted. She is pooping normally but due to it's location I have to give her butt a wash to keep her feathers from getting nasty. She enjoys them and relaxes as soon as I put her down in the tub. The mass is just growing, I can tell it is bigger each time she gets a soak. It is firm, and there is no heat to it at all.

I will say I'm nearing my breaking point with my grandmother whether she realizes it or not. I'm dealing with her getting mad at me but when she told my daughter Saturday she hated her and kids in general I'm done.

Oh so, so sorry. I think I have said before that from everything you have said, Rosie seems like a really smart girl and I think she will understand that your grandmother is just not in her right mind and not to take it personally.
I know, it is very hard to deal with.

It's so hard for you and your family with your grandma's deterioration. Please try to hold on to who she was and how she loved you all. This isn't her the past is who she really is.

I'm ashamed to admit I'm totally exhausted and cannot find a link that may well be of great help to you, I think i posted it too RC a while back because I'm dealing with
Agatha who has had similar problems with laying. She was laying soft eggs and when I gave her calcium she had a soft shell hanging out of her which luckily I managed too gently remove. She was also being sick.

On this site it suggested several things it could have been. I thought she had an infection causing the egg mechanism nasty problems. It suggested making few options that maybe a vet would prescribe but I didn't like the side effects of those then their other methods was homeopathy,
I then chose 2 of those and they are hepar sulf and bryonia. I hope you can research these when you have a minute

Firstly I used activated charcoal for a few days incase of poisoning or metal poisoning, which I gave too her in water through a syringe.
There was a lot of pooping going on and I kept her apart from the others while dealing with it. This stopped her laying all together. I don't know if she will recover but time will tell as she's finished her course of treatment now but I'm still making sure she's eating and drinking.

I will try to find this link for you when I'm less tired and rushed.

Try to rest in between this exhausting time you are going through

Marie, I think @RebeccaBoyd knows what is wrong with Daisy and unfortunately it is terminal, so all she can do is provide comfort and exercise judgment on when the bad days outnumber the good.
It is a tough call to make and I know we are all here to support her.
