I’m almost positive it was empty and that she isn’t eating on her own. All of the food I’ve put in there for her has stayed the same way I put it in. We’ve just been giving her a full syringe of the supplement 2-3 times a dayIn the second pic, her crop looks enlarged. Are you certain it was empty this morning, and she is not eating?
How would I even go about this...? I can afford to take her to the vet again and would prefer them to do it. I don’t think I can myself honestly. I just don’t know when the right time to make that decision is.From the way she is standing so upright with her tail down, that frequently is a sign of internal laying/egg yolk peritonitis. It might be time to consider ending her suffering, and I am really sorry.
Thank you, I appreciate it. I want to see if she makes any progress tomorrow and if not we will have her put downShe is not doing well, I'm so very sorry
I agree, the crop looks full to me as well, sometimes pictures can be deceiving though.
I also agree the way she is standing is often an indication of a reproductive problem which, unfortunately is common in laying hens. It may be time to end her suffering.
You have done well and jumped right in learning and doing everything you can for her.
Let us know how she is in the morning.Thank you, I appreciate it. I want to see if she makes any progress tomorrow and if not we will have her put down![]()
