Did both of your hens get better? I've been dealing with this and wormed everybody with Valbazen last night.

I also have a Marek's flock and the survivors are a Welsummer, an English orpington, a Maran, a Black Australorp, an EE, a Blue Wyandotte and a Barnevelder ( all vaxxed). I lost some that I believe were not vaccinated; a Speckled Sussex (patient zero), a CCL, another Black Australorp, a...

Thank you Wyorp Rock. They always have free choice grit & calcium and I had wormed everybody in early July with Safeguard after finding a roundworm in droppings. I'm going to worm them again because I don't have much to lose after weeks of crop massages, antibiotics, tube feeding &...

Ok, thank you. I saw this before but will look again.

The vet said she doesn't have an impacted crop or sour crop. I just can't figure out how to help a very slow crop. Thank you for the reply, tho

Morning All! I am looking for some input on a 1.5 yo Dark Brahma with some strange crop issues. My whole flock was wormed about a month with Safeguard (5 nights, then again at Day 10). She had what I thought was an impacted crop(not emptying at night, drinking tons of water, watery diarrhea)...

I'm so sorry!

I wish I had an answer for you but I'm going through something similar. My hen barely eats (except watermelon) but drinks tons and has very watery poop. I did take her to the vet last Friday and x rays/exam didn't reveal much except that everything looked good except for low weight. The vet...

It has varied on whether she has food in her crop. She has been eating minimally It varies depending on whether she has any food in her crop but approximately 15ml of mixed critical care 2x daily

Yes!

I just put a call into the other vet in the office and I'm hoping for an answer.

She was out today but I'll see if somebody else on staff can help me. Thank you :)

I know this is an old thread but thought it might be worth a shot. I have a 1.5 year old 2lb Dark Brahma that seems to have some type of intestinal infection. Avian vet prescribed OxyTet Soluble 280 after xrays and an exam. The hen absolutely refuses to drink it (going on day 3). I am tube...

She is def resting most of the day under my orange tree in cool soil but not necessarily sleeping. I'm just worried that I'm missing something but it may just be the early molt. She doesn't seem to be eating as much but could just be avoiding the other girls since she's low on the pecking...

Following since I'm experiencing a similar issue with a molting 1.5 yo hen. Molting, avoidance, lots of water with watery diarrhea but it's been over 103 degrees for 2 weeks.
