« on: June 06, 2010, 10:52 »
hi i wonder if someone can help me with this problem

i have 4 hens free range in my garden not sure of breed appear to be rhode island red cross maybe orpington

only 1 of my hens is sick ,first symptoms were white runny faeces and lethargy a couple of weeks ago

she still has some appetite but is very wobbly on her feet ,her cone looks shriveled and dull in colour

her lower stomach area feels swollen

have been using worming pellets as recommended by a friend ,but still no improvement
any advice would greatly appreciated

get her to a vet as soon as possible as she has obviously had a problem for a few weeks. What wormer did you use?
Staffies are softer than you think.
