I'll ask... If it was my house it already would have been doneI think soaks would help clear up the discharge coming out of her. And help with bacteria that could be growing.
Yeah...it has to be hard when mom doesn’t want them in the house.
I understand.I'll ask... If it was my house it already would have been done![]()
I know I am late to this thread but thought you all might want to know that egg bound hens can poop. Whether or not they can poop just depends on where in the tract the egg is.If she is pooping she probably isn’t egg bound.
Coccidiosis is a possibility, so are worms, bacteria, or yeast.I will admit I did not read all 13 tabs of this threadso this may have been thrown out there already I'm very green on the subject of chicken health, I am still learning myself. After looking at your pics my first thought was coccidiosis, but she is awake and responsive so not sure that fits the bill. In my experience with coccidiosis, they become very lethargic and lose interest in eating or drinking. I'm curious to find out what is going on with her
I just took these pictures, the hen apron I got today, it's only on here so I can handle her more easily.View attachment 1666880 View attachment 1666881 View attachment 1666882 View attachment 1666883 View attachment 1666884 View attachment 1666885 View attachment 1666886
unfortunately me and my mom got very sick today, we didn't have the strength to go to town![]()
Yes, please see if you can bring her in and soak her. She really needs to be cleaned up and she still has some wounds from being pecked.no, do you know a way to order some online? Do I have to? Mom really hates me bringing chickens in the house![]()
That would be my choice too.Since she's been like this for a few days, my first choice would be Baytril,
I knowI understand.
If I could I’d just have you bring her to my house. Kinda frustrating when you feel like your hands are tied.
I will ask... Thanks! It helps me to have something to hold onto... She is a rather slippery bird if you know what I mean!Yes, please see if you can bring her in and soak her. She really needs to be cleaned up and she still has some wounds from being pecked.
Soak her in an epsom salts bath, take a wash cloth and gently remove the crusty stuff if you can, dry her, then apply the Vetericyn that you have. It would be good to spray the Vetericyn on at least once a day.
It really would be good to get some antibiotics. I know you have to go through Mom.
Since she's been like this for a few days, my first choice would be Baytril, I put the link below. A lot depends on your budget, we all have to take that into consideration don't we. Second choice would be Amoxicillin, third choice would be Pen G from the feed store.

Nutmeg looks lovely in her saddle. How does it help you handle her better?
Try to give her a daily cleanup if you can. Do what you can to work all this out with your Mom. Parents have their reasons too and you have to respect her wishes.
Thank you for the photos and keep us posted.
