not sure what is going on--any thoughts PLEASE!!!

[Camelot Farms]

I would try to give her some treats...oatmeal...yogurt...BOSS and see if she eats. Then we can at least narrow down that it probably isnt digestive.

No neuro issues? She isnt moving her head funny? Off balance?

Any idea how old she is?

Poor thing. Its so hard to see them down and out.

Did she poo last night?

i scrambled her two eggs. she ate them in no time. so she has a good appetite. i am going to let that settle in and see if she poos. there is none in the crate and she has been in there since about 8:00 last night.

as far as age. she is either, 2 years old or a year old. it would depend on which group she came with.

Oh none of my game hens have been laying. they pretty much stopped about a month ago. my dh says that they go in cycles.

she looks normal except for no poo....

Have you tried a warm soak? I know you said it's just you and that she is wild but it may help especially if she is egg bound

 

[herefordlovinglady]

okay huge healthy poop... she looks normal now.


will she poo if she is egg bound?

i took outside to the run and she is still acting very normal.

i am wondering now if she did not go to roost because of something else.

is it possible for her to be in the tree and fall out and not be able to get back in with it being dark?

I would give her a warm bath anyway. Or put some Olive Oil down her vent.

 

[herefordlovinglady]

thank you. i will do that.

i appreciate all the help. i hate having a sick hen and really not know what to do.

i think she will be fine now.

How is she doing today?
