I need a flow chart for your posts, but enjoyed them immensely! 😁 Not the trouble, just your prose. Also, I think I think one of my hens is having a similar issue. I’m going to try the same meds you used (Liquamycin). I hope it went well. Did you determine 0.5/kg was correct? I hope you see this ☺️
We have hawks and bald eagles in our area. I have chicken wire over the run that works great. Birds don’t force their way in like other predators. The only problem is it needs repaired from the snow. I’m so, so sorry this horrible thing happened to you. You showed great self-control the way you...
So, to update on Tulip. When I checked on her this evening, she was up and about. She had some scrambled egg and yogurt. I did syringe-feed water to her and Poultry Cell and I think that helped.
Thanks for getting back to me and I’m SO HAPPY your hen is still on the planet! I did check Tulip over trying to find something. She does have a small bumble foot sore that I found. I didn’t treat it yet since she’s feeling bad. She eats only if I have a special treat. I’ve been giving her water...
Did you get an answer as to what was wrong? I feel I’m dealing with the same thing. No appetite and lethargic. This hen is our favorite and I can’t seem to help her.
I'm sorry it's so hard right now. I think it goes like that with chickens sometimes (in my limited experience). Everything seems to happen at once. Don't give up!
