Thank you, I may consider doing my own necropsy in the future but I still haven’t culled a chicken my self before so I don’t know if I could handle it. All this information and kind words were greatly appreciated.
I went in the check on her and picked her up to see if she pooped, it seemed to trigger something and tons of yellow liquid is coming out of her beak and there’s some at her nose. She finally stopped but now she’s dry heaving and gurgling. Is there anything I can do or should I cull her now? She...
I just drained 60cc of liquid form her abdomen with an 18 gauge needle. She didn’t flinch when we drained her, the liquid had a pretty strong yellow tint, I forgot to get a picture of it after draining. She doesn’t seems to be in any sort of shock. The bloating hasn’t seemed to go down much though.
I have three, one is a chewable it’s active ingredient is fenbendazole the other one is a packet of powder that goes on food the active ingredients are praziquantel and pryanyel pamote. I also have a liquid one that’s ingredient is piperazine citrate and anthelmintic.

She’s not eating so I squirted some chicken food mashed with a lot of water into her beak and she ate some of that. There’s yellow fluid on her towel that I assume she pooped out. Shes having a really hard time standing on her feet, every time she tries to stand or move her feet go back and her...
It is like that, I’ve wondered about water belly, it was my first thought but apparently it’s not common in bantams and she is so I haven’t tried to suck any fluid out of her yet I’ve been focusing on getting her eating because she’s emancipated. I’ve also had a hen with water belly once, but...
I offered her some fresh scrambled egg and some watermelon. She showed mild interest in the watermelon so I left the food with her. I got some fluids in her, she still won’t drink over own but she let me put water in her beak and swallows. She pooped once last night I have a picture of her...
