Chirping
I've come to this site a few weeks ago in regards to my top hen Sadie. She had signs of vent gleet and was expelling many lash eggs, and I was suggested nystatin, monistat, and an antibiotic (I chose amoxicillin) for the two conditions. Before all that i treated with Corrid, thinking it was another illness. I also continued epsom salt baths every other day, and tried feeding her yogurt and banana which she suddenly did not enjoy anymore. She responded well to the amoxicillin and completely stopped producing lash eggs, but the other symptoms persist. I ran out of monistat, but continued the nystatin. She will eat feed, but not much else. She is still alert and will be enthusiastic about a food that she is interested in, and has enough energy to buck up at the bantam rooster she hasnt met yet. Drinks water fine. By the end of the day, her crop is already empty as if she didn't eat constantly all day, but is pooping constantly. She still has white crusty butt, has lost half her body mass, is weak, unable to jump, and sometimes her little chirps of greeting sound like a strain. She hasn't laid an egg in months, never molted with the others. I'm suspecting maybe another illness beside vent gleet? I really don't know what to do anymore but she's such a good chicken and deserves as much help as I can give her. Photos of her most recent poops for reference.
