I have an update sorry it is so late. My little hen is still alive and doing well. She must be eating because I don't think she would still be with us it is just too cold to sit out and watch. But when I toss out mealworms she is one of the first to start scarfing them up. I know for a fact if...
Those are the hardest since they have been with us so long.
Thank you for sharing not many folks understand how we can get so attached to something like a chicken or poultry in general they just have never known one.
I know it's up to her now it's just so hard to see them like this. I've let a few go on their own and also had to help a few it's never easy. She has her pen in here with us and her mirror which she loves.
Again I appreciate your support it really helps.
I think I’ll keep her in my bantams do get picked on sometimes by my big hens. I don’t want her to be stressed when she can go peacefully inside with me. I actually got her to eat a tiny bit of egg yolk by putting it on the floor in front of her. Not near enough but it was worth a try.
I’m pretty sure her sister died if this same thing summer before last. My husband said I should put her out with the flock that seems cruel to me did you keep yours separated and let her die without possibly being picked on?
Thank you for all you help and support.
Nothing is working. :( at this point I may just have to put her down. I am going to keep at it today and make my mind up this evening. I swear if you looked at her you'd never know anything was wrong no eye discharge breathing is fine. in other words no outward sign. Then pick her up and feel...
We’re done with the flush and she just will not eat I am still giving her baby bird food but how long can this go on? It was 2 weeks yesterday that I brought her inside for treatment. I’m losing hope :hit
I am sorry I did not get a notice of this . The black poop is no more now it is kind of normal with water in it I would think from the Epsom salt flush. But I do have an update. Day 2 of Epsom salt Flush and this afternoon she nibbled at her feed after she slung it out of the bowl then I offered...
So far the only thing she will eat on her own are mealworms So I am tubing baby bird food mixed with plain yogurt. She is having some really good poops mainly black in color is that normal.
Thank you so no more Copper? @azygous
4oz seems like an awful lot for a tiny bantam but I'll do it . She is 4 yrs old brooded about half the summer away into late summer on no eggs didn't lay the whole time or after.
I have been treating my little Cochin hen for a crop problem first her crop was a little smaller than a ping ball it was soft not hard and she had no smell coming for her beak. I started out using the cream Clotrimazone syringe 3X a day [Instructions from {Two Crows} finally her crop emptied but...
