Thanks so much for your quick reply. I will follow the link. Perhaps it will relieve some pressure. It is so tight, I can't even palpatate it for an egg or ... I would say she is between 2-3 years old.

May I join this thread? I have a hen with the same symptoms. At first I thought it was egg bound. I gave her extra calcium and a 20 min Epsom salt Bath - which she enjoyed, lol. She is eating and drinking as normal. Not laying that i can tell. When i put her on her back to examine her belly...

Thanks to everyone for the support. Ya'all gave me courage not to give up! Few more days of meds and she back with the flock. She is definitely feeling better, tries to escape when I change her water! Eating normal too!

Thanks Kathy, good news on both counts! I don't see any other hens sick (knock on wood). I'll keep her separated till she seems better.and if no one else is sick I'll release her and sing praises! Lol thanks so much for your support!

SUCCESS! Please see my post under emergencies! Thanks to everyone for all the help! I feel she is on the road to recovery. By the way, her name is Mona

UPDATE: SUCCESS! Today I decided to work on 'pushing' the glob out like someone suggested on other thread. First I wiped the new foam away. Just thought of it like popping a boiled egg out of a zit so to speak. Starting low on her sinus and .. up and out! YAY! it was the...

Thank you!

OMG okay has this happened to one of your chickens before? what is causing it? with Baytril, would we be able to eat her eggs,? altho she is not laying right now.

thank you, good idea with the baby food!

thank you! Since she is starting to eat, I will give her a couple says rest with the sulfa. I found a conversion on this site stating 1 tps per gallon as recommend by a Durvet rep. So I am comfortable with that for now. Last the I saw the foaming has stopped so maybe the sulfa is kicking in...

I may get some tylan. I am afraid she isn't drinking enough to get enough sulfa. plus I only have the powder an it is next to impossible to know how much to mix. what if the dose for Tylan 50?

thanks for the visual! chances are I've only hit the tip of the iceburg! She is eating this afternoon. now the other eye is "foaming". Is the sulfa drug enough if she barely drinks?

I have a vet coming today for all my other animals shots, but she doesn't know much about chickens :( My husband would just as soon put her in a pot as pay a vet bill. :((

IDK Kathy, I am very discouraged today. She seems stressed now , not eating or drinking. so she not gets meds in water. I tried to get more out this morning, but its pulling on the inside tissue causing tiny red "sores" that want to bleed. its like this stuff is glued down now. So the first pic...

Haven't been able to confirm diagnosis but I would say it is respiratory illness, not sure which one. Your sounds like it may be contagious. So far, this hen is the only one sick (fingers crossed). Maybe you can post pictures for the experienced members to see. They have been very helpful to...

Thanks so much for everyone's concern and help. I have quarantined her and got tweezers to pull out what I could (most of it).Thanks Casportpony, I would have givin up but your words "got to dig it out, not coming out on its own" kept me going! Broke apart in tiny pieces :( Not knowing how...

Thanks so much for everyone's concern and help. I have quarantined her and got tweezers to pull out what I could (most of it). Broke apart in tiny pieces :( Not knowing how involved it was, I was afraid to try and pop it out fearing something (like an eyeball) might come with it, lol. Good...

oh geeze.... ok! What is the best way to open her mouth without hurting her? sounds like I need an extra pair of hands.. GREAT pic and explaination thanks!

Thanks , I have her as an egg layer, so I may steer clear of Baytril. Tylan 50 or someone else suggested Sulfadimethoxine... which I have on hand. I will clean her eye again. didn't want to stress her too much at one time., plus I am hoping the ointment softens it up .

Thank you for all the links Mountain Peeps! and Flock Master, I did repost. Thanks so much, I will post any updates there...
