I found this under my hen today.
History:
On 9/24-9/26 city spray for mosquitoes at night, brought hens in. No oyster shells for 3-4 days during that time, but put food and water out with them each day at daybreak.
on 10/2 I found hen on roosting bar with soft shell hanging off her and yolk and white under her. Took egg shell off her (shoudve checked if still partially in vent or just hanging off feathers but I didn’t)
On 10/4 our vet opened back up and I took her in, vet suspected oviduct infection and put her on clavacillin 250 mg every 12 hours
On 10/5 she had brown water stool, vet said skip a dose so we did
10/6 she got full dose again, brown water stool, vet said skip a dose so we did
10/7 full dose, water stool again
10/8 hen not alert as usual, just standing there staring off, took her in to vet, vet gave SubQ fluids, switched her to Tylan because jen not doing well with clavacillin
10/9 gave hen break from meds for a day, hen not alert as usual
10/10 Brown water stool, hen not as alert as usual, gave 250mg tylan
10/11 hen not alert as usual, gave 250 mg tylan
10/12 hen not alert as usual, found the meaty egg under her in yard, no tylan yet
at vets advice ive been bringing hen in house at 5:30 each night since 10/4 to reduce sunlight to reduce egg production. This is the first I’ve seen her “lay an egg type thing” since the soft egg 1 week and 3 days ago.
On 10/4 vet felt in vent with finger and externally around abdomen, all she said she felt was poop. No xrays taken
Also been giving the hens probiotics and electrolytes in water save-a-chick brand
I measured out the 250mg of tylan powder in 7 days worth of baggies and added it to food mash first day, she didn’t eat it all. Put it in water and syringed it to her yesterday- in case I were wondering how im dosing her.
hens solids poops have been smaller, and just now 10/12 at 11:25am she pooped that image- urine and poop almost look separated…
she is eating on her own, I have had to entice her a couple of times with a food mash, and she is pecking at ground while free ranging here and there, but neither at her usual pace.
what is going on with my girl? She is my favorite hen, I am so worried
