Hen acting weird

[TwitchysChicks]

Have you tried disinfecting the coop, maybe add a solution of bleach/water and spray the whole thing down and scrubbing it? Or maybe a solution of Listerine/water might work too, and make sure to put on a mask.

I think ill cull the ones that dont get off the table. The one attacks anyone trying to lay an egg. Plus they never go outside. I dont like that. And they have diarrhea and the others do not. I dont care about his chickens anymore. I just want mine better.

So everyone on the roost has normal doo doo. Black and firm. Then the table ones are a mix. I'm giving them only tomorrow morning to get their attitudes in check.
Pei Pei keeps kicking like literally kicking at anyone who tries to go lay an egg. She does it again, I'm kicking her out. Ive never seen that before.
Cocoa is 8yrs old and sits alot. I cut the green poop off her butt and seems to have stayed clean.
Pom pom still has that scary walk. I don't see mites on her. And she stopped water poopin. Its now that green diarrhea again. I think I'm going to cull her out of fear of disease.
Twin chicken is back and forth. I haven't seen another lash egg from her. She jumps down to the boxes and vent pecks anyone who is laying.
Sh×+head is annoying. She's still vent picking around the nesting boxes and made a game to rip feathers off anyone who has their backs turned. And its not just one feather. Its a huge chunk every time. Then the others are eating the feathers. I also think shes the one who occasionally eats the eggs. Shell peck the heads of anyone in the boxes and drag them out.
Those are the ones I want to shoot. None of them are mine. I've just had it with their behavior. And I'm afraid mine will start acting like that too.

I'm very sorry that your so frustrated

Only you can decide when you have had enough, that no one is getting better and they are posing a health risk to the rest of the flock.
A hard decision to make either way, but I'm sure you will make the right one.

The walking makes me real nervous. The others are just nasty beings. I think that's y everyone is stressed out. They don't have respiratory signs, but I don't like them spending 2mths on a table and never getting down. The other three that were with them had symptoms. Idk. If hate to put something down if its just arthritis. I also don't like that green poop. Ugh. Ill decide tomorrow. What makes me not want to is picturing them getting shot. I was there when Cat cried as she was being brought out. It was horrible.

Iv'e read through your ordeal and your logs, lots of not so good things going on. I found this link with common and not so common respiratory issues. You know these birds better than us, when you have a moment take a look and see if any of these fit your birds. Just from what i'm seeing this is a respiratory issue, with the head swelling, and head twitches and eye problems. Need to figure out which one though.https://articles.extension.org/pages/68290/poultry-diseases-of-the-respiratory-system

There's no neck twisting, blue faces, lameness, or prostration. And no smells. I hear one of my hens make a breathing sound like a heartbeat. My one roo is snoring. The one side of the coop has green poop or diarrhea and the other has normal black poop. Then theres tiny sneezes where I see droplets spray. But then again I'm not sure if they ran for a drink of water before they jumped on my lap.

So sorry.

Thank you for having the patience to deal with me. Anyone else would have given up or like my mom, wanting to light the coop on fire to be done with it. Maybe if I get rid of the nasty chickens the stress will go away. Doing a week of probios in the water after they had their Lincomycin...even tho I'm not really sure if it worked...I know janis stopped hacking and dead coughing. She's been very quiet. Maybe it has to go thru everyone and hopefully go away with no more scary swollen eyes and foam.

I think it's a respiratory flick. That or she still had water up her nose. Ugh. Tonight she had that heartbeat breathing. I tried to record it, but Sh×+head wouldnt stop making noise.

 

[Wyorp Rock]

You have made progress though correct?
I know you are ready to give up, but sometimes going back to the basics is what needs to be done.

Plain fresh water, plain fresh poultry feed and a little daily treat - maybe some greens one day, eggs another, a bit of scratch for another and so on.

If you've finished all the courses of medications that it. Just make everything basic for a couple of weeks, let everyone settle in and see how it goes.

Attitude hasnt changed, so shes leaving...cant have my girls getting egg bound. Also pom pom will go cuz she has water diarrhea and that weird walk. Not taking chances anymore even though mine would have whatever she has by now. I moved the food and water off the table. No more catering to these birds.
