Combs seemed to be having some breathing issues? She was really open mouthed breathing, holdin her butt up a little, and sneezed a few times. is this a continuation of being egg bound yesterday?

Guys, does anyone have advice for M. Green. She really has been struggling along for months and i've been the only reason she's even okay right now. I know if I didn't give her her special treatment she'd just die. She's a good girl. One of my favorites (and that's saying something). I know how amazing and sassy and sweet and loving she is. She's so smart and beautiful. I love her to bits but I'm worried that now she's just suffering. I don't know what to do. If anything someone please keep her in your thoughts.

You could take Ms Green to a vet who should be able to assess her crop situation and treat her accordingly. Impacted crop will soon lead to circulatory collapse if left untreated.

How are you treating her ascites?

Have you drained the fluid? Milk thistle extract is supposed to be an excellent supplement for this condition too.

I had a hen with ascites live for years. She never didn't eat because of it. Maybe that is something else, idk.

I'm sorry she is going downhill.

I feed her a special blend everyday at 11 30 and then again at 4 50. Its apple cider viniger, cininamon, layers crumble, oil of aragono, and water. (sorry my spelling is bad rn) She eats very little of it and I have to work with her so she will. I have tried to just not feed her that and let her be normal but she just won't eat if I don't. The the food has helped with her abnormal breathing and sometimes I have noticed she isn't as swollen. Plus she's actually eating. Durring the time she didn't get the fed she was weazing, her liver was leaking absesivley and she ate hardly enough to live. Unfortunatly I can't go to a vet.

Okay so i have 3 big problems rn.
So I went to collect the eggs and noticed my 10 year old barred rock chicken combs was in a weird position on the ground, looking very tired, breathing irregular, and the position she had was almost like she wanted to lay an egg. Her crop was empty so I took her to the food but she ran back to the coop. I figured I would check back later and went to get ms. Green. She gets fed every day at lunch and dinner, it's a special blend I make to help her because she has ascites (water belly) and it seems like the only thing that helps keep her alive most days because she doesn't eat on her own. So I'm feeding her, all is normal and then she starts making gurgle noises in her stomach. I didn't think much of it seeing she does noises like that sometimes before a bad poo. Also her crop felt really hardy already which is super unusual for her but I was happy. Next thing I know she's throwing up a yolk like liquid. i stop feeding her immediate, put her back and check on combs again. She's on the nest in pain and unable to lay an egg. My next move was to soak Combs in warm epson salt water. After a long while of that I let her go back in the coop. She gets on the nest and is still trying to lay an egg. She's in pain, I can tell. She's making lots of hurt noise and breathing heavy. While I grimice watching her like that in the egg box Ms. Green is under the egg box throwing up more yellow liquid till her crop is empty. I gave Ms. Green some olive oil.
I don't know what else to do for them. They are both really special chickens.

Poor thing sound like it's really suffering.
You should end her suffering.

you can drain the fluid and ease the pressure on her organs. have you tried that?

 

[Lovem all]

Oh I forgot to add i have to soak her but about 2 or more times a week because her poop just gets stuck way to close to her vent. I don't even know the last time she layed an egg, that factory is closed.

 

[Lovem all]

I haven't drained her. I would worry I would do it wrong and hurt her. Plus I don't have the supplies.

 

[Dottie the Chicken]

How is she doing today?

 

[Lovem all]

Ms. Green is her usual self, which isn't normal for any other chicken but she's not acting like she's about to die. She's slow, tiny, and probably won't eat until I feed her, but it seems like she's having one of her good days.
