Seminolewind, I think your idea of the cocktail really made a difference. Granted, I only gave her the sulfdimoxxxx but she is still doing better. Running around, etc, but still very thin. How long did you keep your girls on the cocktail?
Has anyone noticed sort of a puffy eye area on their hens? Both the little legbar and one of the 5 year ol welsummers are definitely puffy. just a circle around the eye, not the whole face or nostril area. Not sure if the welsummer is laying or not, but today she went into the coop and is resting on a roost -- it is gale force winds with rain here, and chilly, so it is a smart move on her part. But probably means she isn't well, or is running down.
