Update:Update:
LC is pooping - yay! It is small, but she has been picking at her food, unless it is a treat. I think she is not liking being separated from the flock.
Let her out of her enclosure, she immediately went into the coop and into a laying box. I was hoping she would lay and I could get a look at her egg. BUT...broody momma, who likes to have the coop for her and her babies to go in and out of, went in and pecked her on the head and she came running out. UGH. She was definitely not interested in laying in the makeshift box we had in her enclosure.
Got momma/babies entertained and let LC back into the coop and shut the access door. Now she is just sitting on a roost. I will give her another 30 minutes to see if she moves. If not, I will let her out so she can peck around with the flock. I have her banded, so I will know which one to give the Amoxicillin to when it gets here. I only have Black Australorps, so banding is necessary or else I would be guessing.
Here is her poop - sorry. But it does look like there is still some yolk she is pushing out.
My hen seems to be doing well. She is eating and pooping fine. She hasn't laid another egg and I don't feel one in her system, but I do have a question.
Today is day five on amoxicillin. Her poops sometimes still comes out with yellow urates. Sometimes they are white and sometimes I still see yellow.
Does amoxicillin cause yellow urates? Might it still be egg yolk coming out? Might it be bacteria still working its way out? Should I not worry?
Thank you.
