I’ve had a hen with a bloated tummy for 3 years now. At first I thought she was egg bound but she wasn’t. She seems fine and happy although she sleeps on the ground and doesn’t roost

Thank you for that, the pictures do look like comet. Its firm not too hard or squishy. She was dripping a little poop when i brought her inside it seems lile theres a partial blockage. There was a little bit of movement like she is trying to pass something. I gave her an epsom salt bath and...

Sante fey is um pretty plus... at 40 pounds the vet thinks she needs to loose some weight. She can get around pretty well usually and ok on her swollen foot. She is being confined for now and is fed corn free, im adding more greens. Any suggestions on getting her weight down? Or what a healthy...

If your options are killing or selling maybe comprimise and give him away for free. Dont forget contact your local 4h club, ask to talk to the poultry leader, a silkie rooster is more likely tobe welcome there. Good luck, you have options think outside the coop. 😆

This is a great solution, boys get along great when there are no girls. Then put up adds for free roosters and eventually someone will come looking. It took me months to get rid of my roosters but they went to a good home so worth it.

Also still doing soaks daily the doc expects 6 weeks of treatment. If she werent so picky lol it could have saved me a vet trip. Hoping a detailled explaination will save someone else

I was giving her a pediatric suspension of sulfatrim I had crowd sourced from my mom friends but I couldn't trick her into eating enough. The vet gave her the same thing in tablet formsmz-tp 4800 mg x2 daily.

I think your on to something Ill see if I can get assistance

Thank you so much I have been doing epsom salt soaks for a week and a half now and giving her molaxicam for pain. She is big and hard to hold still, so I'm worried about restraining her while I cut her foot. She has given me black eyes just putting her to bed

I can't make the image of her foot attach sorry but it bad

Here's a photo

Hey guys my turkey has bumble foot. Antibiotics aren't helping and I can't seem to find a vet to operate. I have called 2 exotic vets that seem willing to see her but are hours away and can't tell me that they have a bird specialist, or say they are willing to perform surgery😫 I live in port...

Looks great think about adding roosts in the yard too 😃

It looks great think a abou

I have had good luck with the sneaking in at night with new chickens and treat method. But if have the ability separate coops for a bit then let everyone free range to get to know each other for a few days, the newbies often just start going to bed with the flock

Chickens don't tend spend alot of time indoors and when they do they are usually sleeping so I think youll be fine, if you aren't in an extreme climate. If it seems crowded you can always do nesting boxes outside. Be sure the coop has good ventilation though.
