Sick Hen

[Cherrymalibu65]

Good Evening,

I was wondering if someone could please help me figure out what could be wrong with my hen. She is about 2-3 years old, and hasn't had any problems until recently. The first thing we had noticed was she was limping suddenly so we treated her for mites, along with the other hens, and she started to walk fine again. Since then her comb has become more and more pale and shrinking. We also noticed a bit of waddling, possibly indicating waterbelly, and her constantly getting bullied by the other hens. Here are pictures from January and today.

Hmm.. do you feel an egg? She could be egg bound

I have not checked to see if she is egg bound, but we started giving her “Poultry Cell” for the past 3 days and we noticed a improvement.

Well then just keep me updated. I have a sick hen on anti-biotics right now too . She is getting much better though, hope the same for your girl!
