So sorry about your girl. You're kind to be so comforting & gentle with her. Fly strike, if that's what it is, can sometimes seem to come on out of nowhere. Wishing you both the best.

Yes, diluted with sterile water.

Hi! Thanks for the reply. The 1st vet (my regular vet, go figure) honestly ripped me off on the fecal & cost me precious days. I figured it would show no parasites. It was expensive but I was told it would test for other things, which it did not. I had dewormed her in July w Valbazen, then...

I’m so sorry to hear about your pretty bird 😔 My sincerest condolences. I just wanted to add to this, bc it really is hard to find info on this for poultry, most of the info is related to smaller birds, but my hen has had really strange symptoms off and on for awhile. It wasn’t until recently...

My 4yr old Barred Rock hen is in the middle of a rough molt. I upgraded her food w/o transition & shortly after, she developed signs of illness and severe diarrhea. By day 6, I finally got fecal results back from a vet that showed she had no parasitic infection. Wouldn’t offer any more help...

I know some can’t wrap their heads around it but it happens a lot in nature in all kinds of species. Look up hens that don’t lay turning into roosters… I had a RIR, “female” for all outward appearances, very vocal, crankier than you know what & never laid an egg. I’d say I had her for a couple...

And this is an even Older reply 😂 but, for anyone on the hunt for mysterious answers to neck probs like myself that comes across this, the crop is nowhere near what this pic shows. Plz do not go shaking your chickens upside down willy nilly, for numerous reasons. ❤️

Hi! I stumbled across your post looking for info on my chicken's sudden neck deformation & I just wanted to say be careful w/ supplementation, esp longer term supplementation. I have that Poultry Cell & use it Sparingly as it contains iron & can lead to iron toxicity. The Poultry Cell w/...

Hiya. I was wondering how things are going w/ your girl? I have a similar situation w/ my girl that began several days back. Her neck looks exactly like your chick's. I've learned it can be a vitamin deficiency, one source included vitamin D which I don't see mentioned often, genetic, viral...

I think I might be able to buy it from sites w/o rx but the only suppliers are online so it'll be a shipping wait. I'm about to look into it more rn. I've always assumed she has internal reproduction issues, I'm just trying to fig out which order to tackle all this problem shooting in. It's soft...

I'm so frustrated I could cry. Nowhere sells fish mox w/o perspcription unless I have it shipped. Now I've come across Baytril on here which apparently also has to be shipped & idk what strength bc I've never heard of it. She's been eating mash w/ a sprinkle of oat & 1/2 to a full egg a day...

Well apparently it's hard to get and can only be bought online now.

Thanks. I recently read to give them selenium also to help w E absorption. Are you familiar w/ the dosage on that too? I'm still curious about the bacterial infection though that an antibiotic would help. Or if I should treat w/ Corid since vitamin B deficiency leads to wry neck. The only reason...
