So she is still in the house . Her swelling is still down and I've been trending to her bumblefoot. Stopped the cream for the gleet. So last night her poo was kinda diarrhea like but there was green in it. So I mix hen house reserve with an organic pellet with added probiotics and the hen house...

So her swollen belly has gone down. Her vent is cleaning up pretty well. She still has a little yellow/ white discharge but not so pasty like. I've also put some apple cider vinegar in her water and she's had a bit of greek yogurt. She's still inside in fact I think going a bit stir crazy. I...

So I've given her the calcium pills which she's doing great with soaking her food the bumblefoot which I still haven't been able to pull the corn out, but I'm wreaking with the triple antibiotic too. As for her vent she's still puffy very red and expelling more each day but I'm still not sure if...

She took the whole pill no problem.. I had given her drops of extra vitamins last year with her bumblefoot she's actually good at taking treatments. Such a sweet girl she is. I have her in the house with me now cause it's been raining and here in jersey it got quite chilly. I'll keep her in...

Thank you so much

So this is on her.. I just soaked her on Epson salt to take care of her bumble foot and was able to really take a look at her behind... the stuff I cleaned off of her was kinda like wettish yet crumbly yolk like. But her tummy is irritated and swollen looking ... she seemed to really like being...

I have a chicken that is just about 2 years old. She was a good layer, lays throughout the winter and all. This past winter it seemed as though she started molting in late fall yet still laying consistantly.. 4-6 large white eggs weekly. Id say in the warm couple weeks of February she had...

It's crazy it's been almost 2 weeks now still no eggs, have searched everywhere in every little book and cranny of this property. If she is hiding eggs then there is something out there stealing the eggs(there is a possum or 2 we have been trying to capture and move to a refuge) she is still...

I knew about feeling the vent abdomen area to see if there is an egg I didn't know you tell tell she's actively laying.. how would that feel exactly??

Hmm ok. I'm going to continue searching for hidden eggs. It's just strange that she has been laying for about a year and a half never stops and barely slows down in the winter. The faverolles slowed down in the winter they are slowly taking back off and the bantams that completely stop in...

I have felt her belly and didn't feel anything. She did go broody last spring. She is my only chicken that never stops laying(besides when she went broody last spring). She was in the nesting box again today but when I returned home from work my husband had let them out to free range a bit and...

So I have a hen(her name is Isis) who's going on 2 years old, I got her with 3 gl sebright bantams & last spring we introduced 3 more to the flock so a total of 7. The sebright started laying again about a month ago. 1 oddly warm day and it's gotten quite cold off and on since and they are...

So I thought I got the core out but then I cleaned her and rewrapped her again last night and it's still really swollen in wondering if I just got the scab. The scab when it came off was thick so I thought I got everything with it but after seeing it last night and she was freaking out not...

I'm having a hell of a time getting the scab off. And unfortunately don't have any pictures. She is young and smaller. My faverolles are twice her size and only 5 and a half months old.. she's about a year an a half old.
