Chicken bald back

[Jen the Hen]

Just wanted to share a success story, as I'm so happy that my little hen has recovered from sour crop. Thanks to the advice I followed on the forum, my Edna is getting back to her chickeny self. I'd been away for a long weekend, and my house/chicken sitter mentioned how quiet Edna had been, and I'd feared she would definitely go 'claws up' once I saw what a mess she was (diarrhea, hot and watery crop). Bit grim to keep emptying her (poor thing), but with lots of TLC, she's pulled through - even after double checking with the vet, they didn't want to adminster anything.

 

Couldn't have done it without the sound advice from here - thanks everyone! I'm stupidly happy that Edna's okay - what is it about those feathery creatures!

That's really good to hear JentheHen. Yes it does seem stupid how much we get attached to them but we're all the same!
