Yes, he's an avian vet and has seen our chickens for some time now. He's very knowledgeable and he's saved our chickens lives multiple times, but he is usually basing diagnosis on what he generally sees of chickens in the area (hence he was thinking most conservatively, it's an injury- she didn't lay an egg until after she saw the vet). We ran out of Nutridrench on the last chicken illness, kicking myself I didn't have some on hand for this - I have ordered more. Vet just called back and still can't see us until this afternoon, so I'm going to give her meloxicam and emeraid/probiotics/b12 now.It can be common when they are having egg related problems to feel weak and listless. But if she becomes dehydrated, it won’t help. I add water to any eggs or feed, just to get fluids into them. Poultry NutriDrench is sometimes given for a quick boost. Dosage is 1-2 ml daily. Is your vet an exotic, avian, or regular vet familiar with chickens? Let us know what they do today.
