Which ones, Miss Lydia? Most of them act like nothing you've ever seen before either!
They run to the spoiled side.

I think it looks like she is healing. How is she feeling now?
I thought I had one eggbound but it seems I don't. I check their pen daily and feed and water.....don't know how I missed it but went out there yesterday and there were FIVE eggs. Had to throw them away because I have been medicating that pen only because I had a rooster with a rattling chest. Two days and he is fine. Ten days and we an eat the eggs again.
I saw your post right after I saw my hens backside and thought it was the same thing as yours or eggbound. She is a fairly new hen and had not started laying since I have had her. She never felt bad or got ruffled up or stopped eating. She is still doing well.
I will tell you however I bought this stuff that was highly reccommended to me at the co-op. The fella said people were raving about it. Yes, I am a sucker for my chickens because I paid $26 for it. It is Vetericyn spray. It is a wound and Infection treatment. I sprayed the hens bum two days in a row and then stopped. It is no longer red and angry looking so maybe I hit the right spot. AND she started laying. I had her a month before she laid an egg. There are two girls in that pen...mother and daughter. Other than the one having a swollen up bum they both look really healthy and hearty.
But my expensive spray.....will keep it around for emergencies. Oh, I also sprayed the feet of my cochin rooster after the other rooster beat him up. His feet were bleeding and I think in an attempt to get away he damaged his blood feathers on his feet. They healed up with no problems at all. Heck, I might spray me with this stuff!
I am glad your girl is looking so much better....I have followed this thread to see what happened with her!

I have used bluekote with my birds and it has good healing properties and is not expensive. Also read this article by shagbarkbantams.com about oxine. it is great and I just got my order yesterday I think it will be another great product to have on hand for our birds............easttxchick, I would love to see them all but I have never heard of the Norwegian Jaerhon, Do you show your birds?

I purchased the vetericyn spray at the local feed store. I have used it on two dogs with minor scrapes and on myself when I cut my hand. I am very pleased with the product; handy to have around and can be used on horses too. www.vetericyn.com
