Sorry what a mess

 

[Granny Hatchet]

I know ! I will go check a few eggs and see where their air cell is at. BB in a couple.

Roost..... Tillie is the one suffering the worst, and yes she is still alive. I am treating her for high BP and heart failure. I have drained her belly twice. ( heart failure causes fluid to leak into the abdominal cavity.) The entire flock turned up with labored breathing and clicking heart valves, starting this past fall. I have determined that my water contains too much salt, (we dont drink the well water) and they all developed arterial hypertension. I have been running distilled water through the flock for almost two weeks and I am no longer seeing labored breathing or clicking valves. Tillie is on Hawthorn to reduce her BP. Not sure if she can pull through, but at least I saved the flock. Still have hopes for my Tillie....she is the love of my life!

Yeah even said flushing with milk would aid in finding coccidosis

Yeh I read where they use it to control it.

That wasnt the only thing I read on it.

I have like 20 gallons of raw milk tho

I NEED to make Butter

What are you gunna do with 20 gallons of raw milk LoKo? Won't it spoil before you can use it all?

How terrible TwoCrows, glad you found out what was causing it, but I can't imagine having to buy bottled water for my flock. Sure hope your best girl gets better

Thanks! Once I get them cleaned out, I am going to add ACV to the water every day. The ACV will help to cancel out the salt and allow it to pass easier through their systems, so they say.

Interesting Papa, never realized that chickens have the same heart as we humans have, but theirs works smarter.
