I am not sure how long it has been since she laid last. I did feel around for a possible egg stuck and found nothing. Her poop is a little liquidity but I don't think it is too concerning. She is currently on layer and no mites or visible works or anything. She wasn't eating well yesterday but...

I have a hen that is about a year old. She has been walking around with wings down for sometime but no other symptoms, until yesterday. We found her laying down and not wanting to move. I took her inside and noticed that instead of standing up, she would start tipping to the side. She has lost...

I am starting to think it may not be poop around her vent. No matter how much I soak it, it won't soften. I did try mineral oil as well. She seems very uncomfortable when I try to just take a bit off the top and she normally isn't to bad when I have to do cream on her vent. Could it be a scab...

There is still some crust but no matter how much I soak her, it just won't soften.It is not blocking her vent.

I have been treating the sour crop for a few days now, with monistat. I am just more worried about her having a hard time going to the bathroom. There is no blockage that I can tell.

I have now pretty much cleared up the vent gleet. Still working on the sour crop, but she is still having a big issue pooping. After attempting for aabout 20 seconds, she is finally able to get so out but has to peck it off her bottom. I have been giving her coconut oil (however, not sure...

I will do that. I noticed she has lost weight, so I don't think she is eating well.

She seems to be drinking fine. I don't know exactly because there are other chickens out there. In the morning when I went to give her her meds, her crop felt like there was something in there, so not empty. I did massage it for a little bit.

I have not felt an egg and she has not started yet. Do I do chunks the chunks of coconut oil orally? We have been doing the Epsom salt orally 3x a day and a bath every night with it as well. Monistat cream 2x a day and a monistat suppository, every other day since Saturday. Her last one will be...

She has a small bubble in her eye as well, forgot to mention that. I have massaged it a bit. It just doesn't move much.

I have 5-6 month old silkie hen that we are treating for gleet vent. However, she is having a very hard time pooping. She makes this noise every time she tries to go. Her gleet vent is slowly going down and getting better with treatment but she is still having issues pooping and to top it off...

We discovered tat my silkie has wry neck last night. We have started doing everything we can do but was wondering about the brace you guys keep talking about. How might I make one. I feel so bad for him and just want him as comfortable as possible.
