Hen acting weird since Friday.
Our take
| | Misty has been acting weird since Friday, she has been hanging out alone and i find her just laying somewhere while the rest of the flock is somewhere completely different. She has some poopy on her fluffy butt feathers too. I’ve brought her in today gave her epson salt bath (about 20 min). You can see the poop from when i first brought her in. Her most recent poop in on the lay pad and was kinda runny but had solid in it you can see. I’ve given her fresh water with hydro hen and fresh food with 1 crushed tums tablet in it and crushed egg shells. She has eaten a bit and drank a bit since I’ve brought her in.. i think she lays really big eggs and i haven’t gotten any in a while. Do you think she’s egg bound or something else?

- Chick acting strangeI’ve had these 4 chicks since Easter. They’ve all been acting normally, but this one (I think is a Cream Legbar) is drinking fine, but she’s not eating, and she’s standing upright and peeping nonstop. She’s drinking by herself though. She had pasty butt for about 2 days before I cleaned it. I thought she would act normal after that, but she’s been like this for another 2 days, even after I cleaned her butt. She also doesn’t react to my hand, she huddles up against me and peeps. At first I thought it was malnutrition, so I gave her some olive oil with a pipette about 20 hours ago since it’s got a fat and calories. She still acting weird. I’m not sure what to do. submitted by /u/Lil_Torta1 [link] [comments]

She is eating and drinking normal submitted by /u/Useful_Quality_4315 [link] [comments]
- Sick henI have a hen I just got the night before last that is not moving as much as the others, and her breathing is somewhat labored. Her butt is flexing as she breathes. I assumed she was egg bound, so she’s in a warm epsom salt bath currently, but then noticed her breathing is a little…raspy? I’m worried it may be something respiratory. She’ll be quarantined from the rest of the flock. What else can I do? submitted by /u/Rachelruthless7 [link] [comments]
- Egg bound hen laid an egg with no shell.Pricilla hadn’t laid an egg in 3 days which is odd. She usually lays every other day. I noticed a change in her personality today. She wasn’t excited for treats and I noticed her straining but nothing coming out. I decided to give her a warm bath and 20 min later a shell-less egg popped out!! They have constant access to oyster shell and I often feed them egg shells I throw out. Could this be because she’s a new layer or should I be concerned? submitted by /u/curlygirl0002 [link] [comments]
