3 eggs yesterday.

My Japanese bantam - Agent J is broody and she is not having privacy to do it as the other 3 members of her flock stand in front of her, interrupted her and pecking on her to get out to play with them.

I have a sick hen that have impact, then sour crop, then back to impact, sour repeatedly for almost 3 weeks now.

Treatments are Epsom salt solution drink, massage her crop to the cows come home, it is almost cleared, but linger on still. She is now just have feather and skin covering her bone, so skinny!!!

I give her 4ml of nutrient drink a day, she prefers to eat dirt whenever she gets out of the sick base. This dirt eating only started these last few days.

She eats egg white and ignore egg york, eat little of her smashed feed, anything I give her she eats a bit of it only which is ok as she has stopped laying egg due to the birth control implant.

I rather do preventative than treat ill health. It is exhausting treating ill health.

Yes it sure is. I sure hope your hen gets better. It’s always hard having sick animals. I had two this past winter pass away, of course one old hen was 10 so she was very elderly.

Right now I have my young cockerel who seems to have microplasmosis - I have Tylosin for him, but finding it hard find info to treat a single animal - I don’t need to mix up 50 gallons of it!!!

One of my birds got mycoplasmosis last fall - Pudding. We quarantined her, alone, poor baby! For 45 days and no one else got it and I didn't do anything for her other than food and water.

It's not a serious illness, and it's also *extremely* common and most backyard flocks have it. The bird will be a carrier.

I was relentless with calling local vets until I could get someone who had experience and ended up talking with my local vet from the USDA who checks the industrial birds in my area. He said that mycoplasmosis was not a big deal, but to quarantine if I didn't want everyone to get it - even though everyone would likely make it through if they didn't have any underlying issues before getting it.

I have his direct # on hand if anything weird ever comes up again lol it was worth all that calling around!

Oh and fwiw, most backyard flocks also have fowl pox and that's another no biggy if the bird is healthy. Blanche had that and she's the only one that did or showed any symptoms and that was year too. That's passed on by mosquitos.
