Any chance she ate something toxic Chris? In the sticky’s there is info on flushes.

She might have. The easiest thing to get would likely be mushrooms. We get quite a lot of them. I got wrapped up in a project for my mom yesterday, and was not able to do much for her. She continued to eat and drink though. She pooped a few more times, but it was like a dark green. I'll have to get a picture when the house starts waking up.

She did make it through the day though, and did put up a fight when I inspected her mouth. I did not see anymore labored breathing which is nice. As of last night nor much has changed. I've not seen her this morning yet.

Hey @Trimurtisan

Haha. That's got a great intro to it. Grandma has a sense of humor.
Thanks for sharing that Shaw.

I had two of my flock get botulinum it took them in 24 hours. Check your water on the land.

Our water is a gatorless cypress swamp....

Do they sell some kind of take home test for that or would I need a speedboat of shine kind?

The babies are hatching. Only 1 Marana egg has hatched... in going to flip a brick on the person who sold then to me if I only get 1 chick for $60. I had the 55F shipped and give me 100% fertility and hatch... I drive and picked up the Marans. I'm sick of people and low quality eggs using stupid shit to their advantage. There good ole "we can not control how usps handles your package" clause. I've got no faith in this person...

When i bought the Phoenix eggs, that guy directly told me "I've not done a fertility test. I've seem them mating, but have not incubated them recently." He then gave me 12 where I requested 6 just in case. Let's be honest, no matter how rare a chicken is, it's egg is just a freaking egg until it hatches. I understand charging a stupid amount, but it's just a freaking egg! Crack that rare egg and eat it, tastes like egg!

Anyways, I'm not happy with how the Marans are turning out. I'll be calling them tomorrow and asking what they would like me to do with 11 bunk eggs...

Hopefully I'm wrong and wired up for no reason.

Mrs Black's poop from yesterday. The brown spots are just food.

I hope what ever it is she pulls through. Keep giving her the Nutri drench. Sorry about the Marian eggs, can’t tell by pic who’s who but cuties!

 

[Trimurtisan]

This is a poop she had over night. It's much more substantial than what was on the towel.

You say it’s green? @casportpony is best poop specialist we have here. I see so many different poops it would be hard for me to tell sick from healthy unless it was metallic green. Mine eat a lot of dirt too as they are foraging around. Eating is good though. Hopefully she’ll pull through. You can buy water testing kits not sure where in Florida maybe Lowe’s? When we moved here we had our spring water tested by a company who does that kind of stuff.
