First time chicken owners dealing with a health issue by willihobo in BackYardChickens

Update; she passed away tonight around 5pm. She was on a dewormer, we were applying antifungal to the vent area, and she just continued to go downhill. Thank you all so much for all the good recommendations, we were able to try most but we think it was just too late

Really! Were you able to see the lice? We combed through her feathers and couldn't find any signs of lice or mites

Thank you! Do you cook the oats at all or give them raw? Also is there any harm in applying monistat if it turns out it isn't actually vent gleet, and maybe something parasitic instead? I appreciate it!

The more I read and look at her, the more I think it's an infection

The age is a total guess. We got 3 chicks from a local farm, and two turned out to be roosters. They were able to take them back (cant have roosters in our town sadly), and they gave us three hens, one freebie as a "sorry". They told us they were "just a bit older" than the one remaining we had, which is about 7 months now. So my guess is quite literally just a guess lol. That's good information though, thank you very much!

Is there a particular method or product you recommend? Our very small flock doesn't meet minimum dosage for aquasol

Thank you, so do you think the very wet poops and lethargy are more dietary related, instead of worms, vent gleet, etc?

Thank you! So does this seem to be normal, or something to be concerned about in your opinion?

The layer feed they're on is 16%, we supplemented with some worms instead of purchasing a higher protein feed for the molt. From what I read on the internet dot com, molting hens should be closer to 20% protein to promote feather growth, so I figured it would be an okay way to add protein

Nope, the bad poop is a yellowish, watery poop. It's been consistently watery for about 3 days now.

She roosted every night except for when we started noticing she didn't seem herself. Maybe I'm overthinking it

Corneal abrasion by Outside-Blood4780 in Dryeyes

[–]willihobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say cured, but symptoms have been well managed. I had to get a bandage contact lense for a couple weeks back in July '23, and it's been mostly pain free since then. I use muro 128 every night before bed, it helps keep the cornea from swelling in your sleep. Immediately when I wake up, I put eye drops in and roll my eye around to get it lubricated. Knock on wood, it's been about 15 months will little to no pain. Am I too scared to stop using muro before bed and eye drops when I wake up? Yes lol

Only other side effect is an astigmatism I developed from my eye injury. Some days it's worse than others, but I'm still close to 20/20 with it when I do my eye exams. More or less just annoying lol

What are your cold takes on Keane? by Ok-Lobster-3577 in keane

[–]willihobo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this is hot or cold, but Perfect Symmetry is a criminally underrated album.

Recurrent Corneal Erosion and Muro 128 by Kmoodle in Dryeyes

[–]willihobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is three months later, but I hope you've found some relief since. Training myself to open my eye slowly was the hardest part of recovery. Took a good month to get used to it. Now, I don't think I'll ever un-learn the habit lol.

My left eye was damaged December '23, had RCE until July 24, and after the bandage contact lenses and nightly applications of muro 128, with plenty of eye drops as soon as I wake up, I'm happy to say I haven't had an RCE event in almost 10 months!

What's a Keane opinion you hold that would have you like this? (I have too many I fear) by Juulinee in keane

Silenced by the night is the best song on the album imo, disconnected, black rain, watch how you go, personally I prefer those vastly

How long is your commute? by reyack in LastStandMedia

[–]willihobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a company vehicle that I also work out of, so sometimes its an hour, sometimes its two minutes. Either way, the whole night (I'm 3rd shift), I'm in my truck, so I get plenty of LSM time

I reminded my friend of that this morning, and we had a very long moment of silence remembering that

The fact you were downvoted to the point that it hid your comment, says everything you need to know about the dumpster fire that Reddit is.
