There have been a couple of droppings which look like this. Almost like eggy calcium deposits and very loose. Not sure if coincidental but it happened after I picked her up. Not sure if there’s some internal swelling or such. The heavy breathing has gone down which is good. I am guessing this is...

Her poop this morning had what looked to me like egg white mixed with it. I’d guess she’s trying to pass a malformed egg which has happened in the past, but she usually isn’t this heavy breathing :( She’s sitting kind of on her side. I’m worried it may just be internal swelling / infection...

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Not sure exact breed, but she’s around 4-5 years old. 2) What is the behavior, exactly. We were away on vacation for 3 days and when we got back tonight I checked in the coop and Frances...

Ok understood. Thank you everyone for all the help.

Ok I was thinking it could be related to something like Salpingitis, but I thought the eggs didn't really look like images of "lash" eggs I have seen. As far as antibiotic treatments, do you recommend anything specific to help with that or the potential infections that can occur from the...

We just completed 5 days of deworming using safeguard. Not sure if made a difference of not yet with Sabrina. Yesterday she laid another weird egg - was hanging from vent and I had to gently help her coax it out. Took a pic this time. This morning she’s doing the water thing again. She...

Thank you so much for your reply. We are indeed in the US (we'll update our profile with that). We are still giving her the calcium citrate, not daily but semi regularly. We separated her for now just to monitor her poop and such. We were thinking of keeping her in the dark because it seemed...

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Chicken, we think she is about 4-5 years old. She's always been pretty light, not sure of exact weight 2) What is the behavior, exactly. Sabrina has been having soft egg issues for the past...

Ok I may give that a shot - will let you know. I snapped a couple pics for further info. I managed to capture what I’m referring to with the bubbles in eyes. It’s not anything huge just looks like droplets around tear duct area (or at least where that would be on a human). He definitely had...

Thanks for this info. If I did a Tyolsin treatment and it isn’t MG could that be detrimental health wise? I’ve read you shouldn’t overuse antibiotics, but I have never used them before. Is it worth just trying that treatment even if symptoms are not getting worse or more severe? Would I treat...

I thought it may be bronchitis as well. It’s definitely not something that seems extreme or dire, but the main thing I’m worried about is the duration. He isn’t getting worse but some days he seems more symptomatic and some less. There’s some small bubbles or droplets right on the corner of his...

I have a rooster who has had some symptoms of an upper respiratory illness (I think). Possibly something like coryza from my amateur research. He shakes his head and opens his mouth especially in the morning and at night. Sometimes his eyes are watery. And he has definite ear wax blockage...

Happy thanksgiving! Quick update - Sabrina seems to be behaving way better. I put her back with her flock mates and she seems to be a lot happier. Eating and pooping normally. I am continuing to do the calcium pill each day. Will let you know if anything pops up, but I think we’re home free at...

Morning updates: I checked in on her just a bit ago and she had pooped a few times! They look pretty normal to me (pics attached). I gave her one calcium pill as suggested and she ate a little food. She seemed a bit lethargic still and was in her crate (video attached). I figured I would let...

Ahhh okay - thanks for this advice, I will try that first thing in the morning.

I just got the 600mg Calcium + vitamin D3 today (I did have just calcium before by mistake). I dissolved one tablet in water and poured it onto a small bit of her regular feed and she ate a lot of it up --- probably didn't end up being a full tablet, but definitely got a bit. I am going to try...

I see, I will look into the chicken birth control - not familiar with this topic. Would she still be egg bound after laying an egg? I guess there could be a potential soft egg behind the hard egg she laid? Would there be another treatment to get her through this current situation besides what I...

1) Bird was adopted from a neighbor so not sure of specifics, possibly Rhode island white, about 4 years old, potentially lighter than other chickens we have, but she is top of the pecking order and always eats a lot 2) The past couple of months she’s had issues with soft eggs. We chalked it up...
