Is it a bad sign for an internal layer/ egg yolk peritonitis?

1/11/2014 Update:

Deckie is still the same although I noticed that she doesn't try to jump up high at all.
Somehow she knows she can't, or she is not interested.

She only walks over to the other chicken Bumpy who is in the dog crate whenever she is free.

She hasn't gotten on the roomba since I took the picuture of it.

I weighted her in the morinng, that was 2000g. I felt a bit heavier around her butt, which is not good news.


Deckie has been losing her feathers for 2 weeks. Actually stopped a couple days ago for 3days and started again.





And I noticed the blood spot on her nose.. I don't know what that means...


And the last..


This is Bumpy. She is 100% fine, even though she has a huge crop. She is molting but not so bad as much as Deckie who is losing.


I have fed her dried garlic and egg yolks, human calcium,Greek plain yogurt ( I used to feed her a lot but now it is decresed,but still she likes to eat little.), fermented soybeans ( Natto), and fermented raisins that I started today.


She loves them, though she doesn't eat fresh grapes, which is interesting to me.


I read about the article of feeding Natto to chickens.

I still don't know about the results.. I won't never know because I am feeding her so many things...
I am giving her what she eats. But for the Natto... No.. She doesn't eat it by herself. and human calcium of course.. I have to feed her orally, too.

You should not give the calcium every day, you should only give it if they are have and egg that needs to come out.

thanks for the advice, Kathy. I won't give her calcium for now. I will keep eye on her. Thanks again!

Diets in excess of 3% calcium and/or too little phosphorous can cause gout in poultry.

She just pooped a couple of them like below after she ate 9 or 10 of fermented raisins.



Smelled like old egg yolk exactly like the one.

She eats and drinks okay, but walk little.
When I touched her swollen butt, I could feel her heart beat like she is in labor, but she doesn't open her mouth.

I would not be too concerned with the feather loss. Some chickens molt slowly over several months and others molt quickly in a matter of several weeks. Usually, the fast molters are the better layers. Anyway, decreasing her light could have triggered her molt.

Following your thread. So sorry that Deckie is struggling a bit. She is so lucky to have you. I have no doubt that she knows how much she is loved. Do what you feel is right for her, she is precious , I hope she gets stronger.

Love to you all xx

Thank you for the info, Kathy. When I feel she needs then I feed her that. Thank you again!
