This is an interesting thought, but I imagine it is hard to implement even if we figured out what diet it is. A special diet would require separation from her flock and no free range time at all, right? I don't think she is going to be very happy. I think such a strategy could be implemented to...

Oh I forgot to comment on this. I should go and dig up her posts. I actually remember her talking about it. I wonder which part of the Lotus is Lotus extract from. It probably is the seeds. Both Lotus roots and seeds are tasty and can be eaten raw but the seeds have good medicinal benefits...

Thank you. @ManueB thank you for all the details on surgeries. Light is fairly strong as she would actively forage. Hopefully she can fight things off on her own, with the help of medicines. Pray for Nougat for either recovery (at least temporarily) or easy passing.

The vet is still working on the estimate... He is a busy vet. He said probably something like $1500-$2000. :eek: I do really worry about the risk associated with opening her up, given some of Manue's experience, although the vet indicated that it is no more riskier for chickens than for other...

Indeed. They are quite stunning.

So we went to the vet yesterday afternoon. Light indeed has an egg inside her, and she has EYP. Below is the x-ray image. You can see the large egg ☹️. Since my husband watches her very closely, he is pretty certain this soft shell egg was "laid" on Sunday June 2nd, when she made a BIG show of...

Good Good. Will report on Light's vet visit.

😢😢😭 This is very sad to hear. I am sorry Manue. Light hasn't been doing great, but not horrible. We are pretty sure she was internally laying. She is on antibiotics now. She would scratch but does not have a good appetite. We have a vet appointment this coming Wednesday. We may ask the vet to...

Thank you for all the comments. We weighed Light today and she was 2.8kg (6.17lbs), heavier than I thought. About a year ago when we took her to the vet, she was maybe 4 plus lbs. She did have a crop problem then so she must have been below average. We will see how her weight changes. I...

Light has been doing this for two weeks and we are worried that she is internal laying too :-( My husband is very stressed out because he can't afford the thought of losing her. Her last egg, which I cracked yesterday, has strong shell though. She doesn't really have a soft shell problem so I...

Honey was not used to be a house chicken before she went blind. Hooray on Piou-piou molting! I don't think they pluck out feathers when they are actually molting. Guangdong also produces Pu-Er tea, but Yunnan definitely is the primary location for it. Honestly I don't know if it needs to...

Glad to hear about lily! I love the Chipie on the shoe photo. Update on Honey I am so amazed at this little creature. She is a magic chicken. Honey went blind on April 6th and has been a house chicken since then. She is almost doing better than ever. She has a great appetite. We have to be...

Oh Chipie! Her video, especially towards the end, reminds me of a Charlie choplin movie 🤣

Oh Blanche! :hugs

I completely agree!! I love this picture so much.

I have now.

:wee:fl

Thank you all. Since she does not wander around, we just have her in the living room (hardwood floor) and clean after her.

I hope it's OK to give an update on Honey here. Honey went blind a week ago as mentioned before. We have no idea why. It took two days to go from fine to no eye sight. I can only guess water belly pressing some nerve?? I cannot find anything connecting these two though. Going blind could be...

Thanks all. Honey has had waterbelly for at least a month by now. Before 4/5, she still had a pretty good quality of life. Scratching around and fairly normal on eating/pooping. On 4/6, all of a sudden, she appears to be half blind, but still managed to eat the eggs. On 4/7 (today), she...
