I am curious if you found any resolution to this situation. We have a chick with the peeling feet and swollen leg. We are treating it as bumblefoot but now with the swelling of her leg are concerned it may be something else.

She died. I am putting photos here so you can see what she was "throwing up" incase anyone has any suggestions of what we could be doing better in the future. Thanks for your help and your information. FYI, she was not egg bound; we checked again. Throwing up in our bathtub after she started...

We check for an eggs first thing. We pulled poop out her after we checked for an egg. The only thing inside of her at this point is fluid. Problems at this moment are: she inhaled fluid, she can barely stand and is not eating or drinking. I am waiting for some else in the house to wake up so...

Her crop feels like baking soda. It no longer feels gassy. I do not know what you call what is coming out her mouth if hens do not throw up. We massaged hr crop last night to force the flushing out of her but now when her head drops fluid just comes out. It is sort of a dark greenish color...

Hi. I posted on Friday regarding what seemed like a constipated hen. This is our first sick hen, I guess we have been lucky. So now I am thikning we should just kill her so she does not suffer anymore. Friday night we attempted a number of things with some help from a very wonderful friend...

Well she has perked up since eating some yogurt. I however did not feel anything inside of her vent at all. I was able to pull a bit of the poop out and it was pure liquid.

It's mustard colored and looks like poop. Her abdomen is bloated and soft

Just noticed problem today.

One of our three year old hens is currently bloated with yellowish poop down her back side and a long piece of poop of hanging from her vent. She is very puffed up and is not able to move very well. Our vet just offer to put her to sleep but we really want to try to save her. Please help us...

Every year our two White Cochine Frizzles go broody. And every year they lose weight and their feathers. On Sat. we put a couple of duck eggs our friends gave us under one of them. Today she is very pale and I am concerned about her. I am wondering if there is something I can do to better...

She does not appear to be egg bound. She is now losing her feathers in a funny looking way, around her head and on one of her sides but it looks like they are coming back in so maybe it is a molt but it does not look like the molt she had last year. Not really sure how to explain it, I will...

How does one check to see if a hen is egg bound?

We have a hen who is just over a year old who has been in perfect health. Two days ago she began walking around with her body very low down, almost touching the ground. We have never seen her do this before. We are concerned that there maybe something wrong with her but have no clue what to...

Amazing. There is so much information to take in. I will follow up on checking on the beastiebands as well as the information about cancer. I thank each of you for your support. Wonderful thing is yesterday the cat never left our sight. I am certain he was somewhere he did not want to be...

That website is very helpful, thank you goldensunriseranch. I think I should contact our vet to see if they do it. Seems like we should have both cats and our dog done. I will have to present some information at dinner for family discussion and decision making.... Thank you!
