AndreaT Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Hi all, I'm after a bit of advice please. One of my girls has a very dirty bottom and I can't figure out what's causing it. I gave her a bath just yesterday and by this morning it is just as bad as it was. It looks very wet and I've noticed her doing a couple of what looks like just water poos today, although she's done normal ones too. I examined her yesterday and there's no sign of lice/mite eggs on the feather shafts and her skin looked fine, not even red. They were wormed with flubenvet about a month ago, she's still laying and doing chickeny things things and the others all seem fine. Any thoughts/advice would be gratefully received, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi5 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Well I wish I had something more helpful to say really!!!! But my Florence was very ill and really I have no idea how she's pulled through She started with just the same symptoms a very mucky bottom and watery poos which were also a little mucusy. She just did a down hill nose dive. The vets treated her with antiobics, steriods, vitamins and we wormed her. Then as all hope was fading and so was she.....we tired one last 5 day course of oral baytril. She very slowly picked up. She is SO much better, but today I have figured out it's Florence who is laying soft shelled eggs!! She is bearly recovered from whatever it was!!! Just watch your hen and check her weight. I really hope it's something and nothing!!! Keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaT Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Thanks mimi5. I'll keep an eye on her over the weekend and look at taking her to the vets next week. Hope Florence is ok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
