    Chicken waddling like a penguin, mass on abdomen

    Thank you for your response! How often would you drain the fluids? Will she just eventually pass on if I don't treat her in any other way? Is there anything else that can be done?

    Thanks for your response! It appears full and tight, very firm. How does one safely remove fluids?

    Chicken waddling like a penguin, mass on abdomen

    Thank you for the questions!! I think she's around 4 years old. I'm not sure when she last laid-- I don't keep track of when specific chickens are laying, though I probably should do that... Her vent is very dirty, covered in poo. I thought she could be egg bound too, but the mass doesn't feel...

    Chicken waddling like a penguin, mass on abdomen

    Hello! I was putting my flock in their coop this evening, and noticed one of the chickens walking upright like a waddling penguin instead of the horizontal way chickens typically walk (see the dark orange/brown chicken on the right in the attached photo). She sort of scoots around. I read online...

    Chicken scalped, limping, has diarrhea, and clicking her beak. What should I do??

    Hey guys, My last post was about my chicken who was scalped. This same hen is still eating and drinking. But she is also still limping, just started having diarrhea, started clicking her beak, and her belly is making really weird noises when she drinks water. I have her isolated in an enclosed...

    Help!! Back of chickens head pecked off!!! (caution: gory images)

    Hi all! Can I let her walk around in the sun/dirt for a little during the day? Or is it best to just keep her inside in a crate? I feel bad having her stuck inside all day but will do whatever is best for her!

    Hi all, I came into the barn and found one of my chickens hiding in the corner, scared, and in shock. When I get near her she makes some crazy noises. She is probably the least friendly chicken that I have (she is extremely hard to catch and always runs away), but now she doesn't try to run...
