Oh gosh, thank you for letting me know! I have been offering food and as much as she wants of it. She has been eating a tiny bit of scrambled eggs and tiny bit of her food along with a couple worms I’ve seen her dig up. I tried mashing her food with water and thought she would go for it since...

Thank you so much for your response and for taking the time to explain this to me and for sharing your observations of the X-ray. It really helps to get a clearer understanding and make sense of things. In reading your explanation about the “tail” and reflecting back I now realize that I think...

Thank you so much for your response and kind words. I really appreciate it. I do agree, I think it has been the best thing for her mentally and emotionally to be back home now. She’s really enjoying being back with her flock. At the vet’s office she would jump into my lap and try to bury her...

Hi, I’m posting this to try to get a second opinion and another interpretation on x-rays of my hen. My beloved pet hen was hospitalized at the vet for roughly 20 days while they were very stumped and unable to figure out what was going on. There she battled e.coli, 2 subsequent bacterial...

I wish I had answers on what to do :( I empathize with you so so much!!! It’s so hard to watch and sooo hard to know what to do or not do. I’m trying to figure this all out myself too… In the past I’ve had my vet recommend both DMG (for immune health) and an Amino B Complex (for anemia) and a...

Hard to say. I’ve now experienced 3 with cancer and they have all presented differently and it’s all very confusing but all 3 have had things that I considered to be a little “off” for them. Did you have any bloodwork done by any chance? That would show if she may be anemic. Have you tried...

I have tons of experience with the implant so happy to help you with it in any way I can. When you say she wasn’t laying prior to the implant, does the vet think she was laying internally? I don’t believe I’ve seen mine get weaker around the time of an implant unless they have had something else...

Thank you for the kind words. Yes, my hen has lived an amazing life and my next door neighbor tells me all the time that she wants to come back in a next life as one of my hens 😜 Still unbelievably tough to go through though. Yes, there are definitely changes I notice with the implant. I...

In my experience with the implant, they will typically lay 1 or possibly a second egg within a day or two of receiving it and then it is at right about the 2 week point that I notice the implant kicking in. I’m sorry for what you are going through, it’s heartbreaking :( I just got a cancer...

Thank you so much for your reply I really appreciate it!! I was able to get overnight shipping and it is being delivered today :)

Thank you so much for your reply! She ironically is under vet care currently, but she has the doctors a bit stumped :/ And thank you I was able to get overnight shipping and the medication is being delivered today!!

I need Baytril 100 or Enrofloxacin and the quickest I can get it delivered is Tuesday. But I have a sick pet hen that needs it sooner. Anyone in the North Florida / South Georgia area have any to spare that I can purchase from? I can come pick it up. Or does anyone have any other suggestions...

Thank you for sharing that with me about one of the ingredients in the spray. It’s crazy how the label instructs spraying directly on poultry as well. So hard to know what is actually a safe product to use or not. So potentially I guess spraying it on the roost could have made her already bare...

Hmmm...that's a good point to consider. The spray we've used in the coop and on the roost is called Pure Planet Poultry Spray. We also sprinkle some of The Poultry Store Parasite Control on the floor of the coop and their run along with food grade diatomaceous earth. We had applied some poultry...

Thank you!! This is great info!! Interesting what you mentioned about the heavy birds as she is the heaviest in our flock and weighs about 4.9 lbs. So, should we try to put some kind of bandage type thing over the blister after cleaning, removing the scab and applying neosporin to try to keep it...

Thank you for your reply!! All 6 of our hens prefer to sleep in the outdoor area of the coop instead of the inside space. The outdoor space measures at 11ft x 7ft roofed area with wire for walls and dirt + hay for the ground. Their roost is a 7ft long natural tree trunk/branch from our yard...

Hi new here! Have a 16 month old Red Star hen that has had missing/broken feathers & redness on underbelly and front of neck (throat area) for last 6+ months. She's highly active and a daily layer. When the redness occurred we did some research and assumed it must be lice or mites, although the...
