oneyolktoanother Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Our new pol chilli was not right yesterday and was making loud gurgling noises we was worried as we had lice powered them the day before and diatom earth in the coop which she was fine with last week. But she kept going in the coop and looking egg bound she then layed her first egg but went off her legs so we took her in the house to keep her warm but she kept standing up so she is back out she is walking a bit more today but still siting in the run a lot and she has had two poops with blood in any ideas or advice I'm so so worried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The poops with blood in are not necessarily a problem Oneyolktoanother. She may be shedding gut lining, which is perfectly normal but looks awful. But it is important you check her vent as the other possibility is she has prolapsed and torn the vent inside out during the laying of her first egg. A little blood on first eggs is normal, but occasionally they will lay an egg too large for their current development/ size. Wait to hear from you.

Beantree Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Need to check her abdomen for swelling Oneyolk. Her comb should be red not pale. Is she eating and drinking properly, so is her crop full and reasonably firm, but not hard? She doesn't sound right but I'm guessing as to why? An internal problem is a possibility, so has she laid another egg yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No she hasn't layed another egg yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 How is her abdomen Oneyolktoanother? It should be pliable rather than firm and at body temperature not excessively hot. Skin should be pink not red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beantree Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Pleased to hear that Oneyolktoanother. Perhaps it's a muscle strain after laying the first egg? Just a wild guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that she's been up more today and eating but is still resting a lot phoned the vet he said keep an eye in her as he doesn't want to give her drugs as she's young. They do worry you I've had a few sleepless nights thanks for your help I will keep you updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
