Please, what is her age and breed, her normal feed and any supplement or treats, when was the last time she laid?My chicken, Jackie, is not doing well . Her abdomen is swollen , her comb is floppy , her appetite for normal food is gone. I fed her molasse water about a week and a half ago the again a few days later and again today but no improvement , I think she has constipation but am very unsure ... please help ,
Eliminate the bread crumbs... They're crap even for people.she’s eating some watered down pellets , calcium powder, and some breadcrumbs.
I can’t get veterinary care. I live in Devon , England . (I don’t know how to add location to profile ) she eats normal layers pellets that I added water to so she would eat them . When her tail was pumping she was in her crate which was a nest box for her .Please, what is her age and breed, her normal feed and any supplement or treats, when was the last time she laid?
Quit throwing fixes without identifying the issue... please! You can mask symptoms and cause more issues. Molasses can be a laxative and might cause more harm than benefit... ACV will have NO benefit if it isn't raw and unfiltered with Mother... Also.. what is "some"... add some acv??? Seems too vague for my personal liking.
Have you had a fecal float done? what does her dropping look like? Are you able to seek veterinary care? What is your location? Adding it in to your profile can help folks make their best suggestions possible at a glance.
Egg binding and blockage are deadly fast... within 48 hours... sounds to me like she MIGHT be suffering from internal laying or other reproductive disorder.. egg yolk peritonitis, ascites (water belly), etc..
Where is she staying when her tail is pumping? In the lay box, out in the yard, on roost??
Eliminate the bread crumbs... They're crap even for people.
Hope you get some answers and she starts to improve quickly!![]()
Also I am unsure of her breed but was told she’s a Rhode Island Red . And roughly 1 1/2 . I don’t know her exact age cause we took her in from a farmI can’t get veterinary care. I live in Devon , England . (I don’t know how to add location to profile ) she eats normal layers pellets that I added water to so she would eat them . When her tail was pumping she was in her crate which was a nest box for her .her droppings are white and green dioreha
