The vet specializes in chickens rabbits and parrots, but she DID say that she’s “pretty” sure she has cancer. I didn’t do an X ray to confirm. I asked the vet about her potential scaly leg mites, and she just said she didn’t think she had them. I’m terrified there’s something completely...

Today she dustbathed, which I took as a good sign. However she hasn’t been pooping much and when she had it was just white urates. She doesn’t seem too lethargic, however she has been laying sort of on her side when she sits. Her crop empties. She doesn’t eat as much of her feed, just in the...

The vet did not give her x rays or blood work because of the price, we said we should just take her home like regular. They have Hydro Hen probiotics + vitamins in their water. They also sometimes gets vegetables like kale or broccoli and sometimes treats like a little bit of blueberries. I...

Rewind about a month before the diagnosis and implant- she stopped laying eggs completely. For most of her life she has had a slightly swollen but not firm abdomen and she was originally suspected to have egg yolk peritonis. Then, I took her to the vet a week ago. The vet felt around her vent...

Ok thank you so much!! She was not laying eggs prior to the injection so I think that’s when her ovarian cancer started to take effect. The vet recommended it just in case her body decides to form an egg, who can would probably get stuck inside her and would cause TONS of new issues. I’m glad...

I know, it’s really rough :( But i’m sure both of our hens have lived amazing lives so far and are calm and content for now. Thanks for the response. I was wondering if you noticed any side effects in your experience with the implant?

Hello, it’s currently about day 6 post implant and she hasn’t lost any feathers yet. i know the implant is supposed to make them eat less, lose weight, molt, and go through behavior changes, but she has been slowly losing energy and that’s all. How am i supposed to know if this is the implant or...

Anyone reading this, I hope this could be educational. Her symptoms were not drastic or very noticeable. She began to just become a bit less active, but still ate and drank normally. Her poop suddenly turned light green but was still solid. No lash eggs, weird eggs, etc. Be careful guys and...

Hi. She’s doing alright today. I was wondering if anyone had tips on what I can feed her to boost her health. I also was wondering if I should begin bulking her up a little so that she has more strength when the cancer gets a hold of her? I don’t want her to have crop issues, though. I mixed...

That is beautiful. I really wish I could have that mindset. I've never experienced anything close to this and it's just a new kind of pain. But I know that when she flies to heaven she'll have rest. And I need to remember that the 3 years she's lived were happy and full of cuddles and time with...

Thank you for your response. She has sisters who she loves very much and I am very close to my hens. She enjoy a large run and treats. I’m aiming for a few months, but the second she turns for the worse I think it will be time to let her go. I can’t stop crying :(

I don’t know what to do. I’m absolutely devastated. She just sits and sits. I hate seeing her in so much pain. I want to give her as long of a life as I can but seeing her decline will absolutely kill me. Her poop is still green and small. When her time comes I will euthanize her at my...

Went to the vet today. She felt the inside of her vent and automatically knew she had ovarian cancer. The walls of her insides were bumpy and full of lumps. She couldn’t feel any specifically egg like material and there was no fluid still. I’m heartbroken. She is my most friendly and calm hen...
