Re: One hen left, help please...

A neighbour of mine has come to the rescue and is more than happy to take Daphne and I can visit on a regular basis which makes me feel so much better. Thank you to everyone who replied and offered help. You are lovely people for taking the time and trouble.


Very best wishes

Re: A lone hen

I hadn't see your post. It is a shame you are not nearer to me and perhaps our girls could have lived out their time together.

One hen left, help please...

Hi, I have been looking after exbatts for the past 7 years. I was down to 2 hens yesterday, Margo and Daphne but had to have Margo put to sleep as she went down hill rapidly, which means I only have Daphne left. I don't want to get more hens at the moment but I am so conscious of the fact that hens ...

Re: Antibiotic not working

Thanks for the reply but she is worse this morning. She has very little energy even to stand. Having run the vet he is off sick and the vet covering knows nothing about chickens!
Not looking good :( It may just be a case of switching to another antibiotic and hoping for the best.

Re: Which Antifungal meds for sour crop?

Just a quick update, Milly is being looked after overnight by a vet and is being fed via a tube as she has lost so much weight. She is a fighter and is hanging on in there and I hope she will recover soon >fi< x

Re: Which Antifungal meds for sour crop?

She is about the same Mad Chick, thanks for asking. I emptied the soury fluid from her crop this morning before giving her medication and have swapped her water bowl with sugar water as Manda suggested. She is taking her meds okay but still not eating at all. She has watery mash in a bowl with her a...

Thank you so much for the advice but Milly is going down hill fast. She is drinking but not eating at all and she keeps bring up bile. I went to see another vet and have swapped to Nystatin.
