HELP I THINK MY CHICKENS ABOUT TO DIE!!

[BuffBuff123]

There are three options after her antibiotics and I really need advice on which you would choose:

1. Have a high risk, $400 operation that stops it from ever coming back

2. Have a low risk $80 operation every 6 months to prevent it

3. Just put her down

That's a hard call... What if they open her up and they find she also has oviduct cancer? If she's your pet and you have lots of disposable income, sure, try the operation, but I don't have the money, so I would treat at home and hope that she got better. Then if she did, I would consider the implants.

Many people will say euthanize, which is an option, but it's also a very personal decision I'll be supportive of whatever you decide.

Today, she is still alive. But she's worse now, I think if tomorrow she is still alive, she will stay alive and get better, but I think she is in too bad of a condition to do that I hope she gets better soon !!

So sorry.

Mine is, too. Crop didn't empty last night, so I'm guessing mine won't make it much longer either, but at least they're warm, right?

Aww. I'm so sorry for your chickens. I hope they make it ok.

Yep although she's not quite so happy at night because one of my other chickens (named Seagull) seems desperate to peck her feathers out !!!

My chickens also come in my house sometimes!! Spoilt girls! (She's called Cuddles )
