Hen acting weird

[TwitchysChicks]

Came home to a fart egg and two brighter brown eggs. With I knew who does it. Maybe Monday I can sit and watch who goes in.

Sometimes it will take a few days to determine who is laying what.

Nugget's bumblefoot corn just fell out on its own. I think I still might pack it and wrap it since now its a hole.

Her eyes do look a bit swollen, is she the one you are given Tylan50? What dosage are you using?
Her movements, could be due to some crop problems - I would check it first thing in the morning before she eats/drinks to make sure it's empty. Look inside her beak and smell her breath while you're at it.

If she is passing lash eggs - you're not sure about that right? But if she is, the inflammation can cause a slowing of the digestive system.
I think she has more than one thing going on.

She doesnt pass lash eggs. Only green diarrhea. Ill check her crop in the morning. Been giving her a little over a half a ml. Of tylan. She fell off the table but walked back up the steps by herself. Theres no respiratory problems. No nasal discharge. Just the puffy eye and the stupid walk.

How long have you been giving the Tylan50.
You need to know how much she weighs.
For antibiotic treatment to be successful, the proper dosage needs to be given. Dosage for injectable Tylan50 is .25ml per pound of weight given orally 3 times a day for 5 days in a row. IF you cannot give it 3 times a day, then bump the dosage up to .30ml per pound of weight give 2 times a day for 5 days.

I realized there are no respiratory symptoms, but the puffy eye is an indication of infection. Often that is associated with Mycoplasma or even Infectious Coryza.
The walking - sometimes I've seen that when there is a crop issue - it would be wise to monitor the crop and check it first thing in the morning before she eats/drinks.
The walking could also be due to infection or neurological symptoms from disease like Marek's, it would be hard to know. All you can do is to try and treat symptoms as they arise and see what works.

If it's Marek's all the birds are exposed.

Shes in the garage now and my puppy ran in. Blackie stood up, opened her puffy eye, and ran like hell.
