There was a thread about side effect of implant: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...side-effects-of-suprelorin-injection.1587046/

Some say their hen didn't feel good a week after implant, and lasted a few weeks, but then back to normal. I also have a hen had implant on the same day as you did and she has very poor appetite. I hope your girl will feel better after the visit!

I took her in at two weeks and one day post implant. An alternate vet did her best to aspirate the egg material (visible on ultrasound prior to the implant appointment). Since that appointment (9 days ago) she was able to reabsorb any remaining material, and she has no palpable fluid accumulation.

She did begin a light molt the day of that appointment-15 days post implant.

Her comb is now lighter (for a good week now). Picture added to show Orpington's comb compared to her best hen's comb. Plus, the babies.

All in all, the girls seem to be doing well. My concern is the longevity of the implant. So I'll remain vigilant assessing her presentation.

I'll keep the updates coming for future reference.
