Reba isn't any better. In fact, her abdomen is enlarging. We tried unsuccessfully to drain it today and could get nothing out. She is alert and extremely interested in her surroundings, but she tires easily lugging that belly around. She still squat walks. Last time we gave her penicillin and eventually, she began walking normally again and expelled something weird from her oviducts a couple of times. This time, penicillin didn't help. I think Reba probably won't make it to her 6th birthday next month and Sunny will be my only remaining original hen. She's been a great girl. Right now, she is living in the broody pen underneath Zane's cage so the little bantam roosters won't hassle her.
