State a fact about yourself!

I'm sorry about your hen.

Have other hens in your flock died of what she seems to be dying of? And what other symptoms does she have? Even down to what her poop looks like would help.


yes we have had a few die but they didn't have the same symptoms,

one died (claw) we don't know what it was but she had water belly when she died, we syringed out a lot of the liquid but she just died.

Another (silver) we were force feeding her as we were with claw and we thought it was many things over time of her sickness, many threads were made but we still or anyone else could not find out what it is.


and now we come to Spritey, at first we thought she was losing eye-sight because she would walk into things but did seem lethargic at the time at all. now she is quiet lethargic and stands around with her head down nested in here feathers, the first thing we force fed her was 150 grams of dough with honey lettuce and oats in 50 grams in the morning then we gave her 60 mils of water because i read that they need double the amount of water of the grain to digest it, but dough has quiet a lot of water in it so i reasoned 60 seemed roughly right, but when we came to next feeding time in the after noon her gullet seems like its full of liquid and just stays full so we fed her the 50 grams in the afternoon and didn't give her any water because her gullet felt like it was full of water and she is pooing mostly clearish water with a few normal green solid lumps so we gave her the 50 grams just before night with no water and she still somehow is pooing water.

what is the best way and how much to feed her water and food? thanks!
