I have never found any correlation between the 2 very different and unrelated conditions. However... egg binding can happen to any chicken and a weaker health state can of course increase the chances of egg binding... but as a cause, no Ascites does not cause egg binding. If they do not get relief... they die.

Great question, yes I do know other have and I also did... it was far too slow. The best option I have found is to leave the needle in and remove the syringe and keep emptying ti and putting it back on the end of thr syring, I prefer luer lock syringes.

I am glad it helps. I have never had good things happen with hair clips. They tend to ruin fabric and I have seen a few people end up with a hole in a full-coverage piece after so much work.

Thanks for all of your feedback.. I am aware that nystatin is an antifungal, if I misspoke I apologize (I am too busy to check at the moment) and I do not feel the need to fight about it. I have done this before and do know what I am doing and have a lot of experience with animal medical care in both a professional setting and here at home with my own animals. I do know that I did not take too much fluid off of her and I also do know that she was quite thankful that I did so. She was not at any risk of being in shock. There is indeed a risk if too much is removed, but it is important you understand how much is causing your chicken distress to begin with. Since you have never done this before on a chicken, I am not sure why you would feel the need to criticize or try to correct someone who has not only done it... but has also done it countless times with success in ALL procedures? I also am a parrot owner, small and large and have never once had to do this with my parrots, however, if I had to, I an confident in my ability to do so... these are however not the same as parrots by any stretch of the imagination aside from the fact that they are both birds with wings. I am not sure why you even want to critique my pronunciation of the name "ascites"... but fine whatever... tomatoes and all. I have worked with many veterinarians for both large and small animals and both in hospitals and farms... I can assure you that every single individual animal is different when it comes to what they need, how much fluid they need removed and so on. Go with what you feel is best if you do not like the information I provided. As far as the outcome, I am sure you noticed this video was from 3 years ago and no she was not young. She was a 5 year old hen and she passed away about 6 months ago at the age of 7 years old. I am not so sure how you could wager a guess on the age of my chicken by looking at them lol, but no, not young in the least. She battled this condition for quite sometime before she passed away and she lived a great life. She went through this process roughly every 3-4 months until the end in which she would get it about once a month until the last few weeks when we knew it was worsening beyond our ability to help her. I also NEVER reuse needles EVER on any animal. I will use the same needle during the time in which I am working on them AT that time... but never again and I am not sure if you are accusing me of this or not??? But, if you are, no, this is not something we do. We use a new needle and syringe each and every single time. So, we do not need to bleach syringes in this house, as they go in the trash. Her skin as well as any other animal on my property or under my care is always cleaned with iodine or betadine before anything is done and alcohol is used. I am not sure why you think you have any need to comment on that either... I cannot understand why you felt the need to criticize and being a bit offensive in your comment to me. If you do not like how I do things, then by all means ... do not listen to me. I do however find it insulting and just wrong to assume I do things that I am not doing... some of which is just ridiculously unsafe or stupid. I mean, you even tried to insinuate that I am saying it wrong... which I would not care about if you did not spend every other word judging me and accusing me of things. I do wish you the best of luck though. Perhaps you should just call a vet anytime something is needed at your house. As for myself, I will utilize all of the medical training I have received on all of my animals with the oversight of my family veterinarian. Have a blessed day ~ Awen

I am so glad I could help you with your chicken. I hope all is going well.

Did the vet check the chicken for heart failure or check the crop for soup crop resulting in the crop being full of liquid or substance that will not go down?

I will heed babies every few hours, even in the middle of the night... that way they won't get weak from low blood sugar.

@@ShadowsGrove Do you remember if Pip ended up eating on her own? I'm getting so tired from all the feeds through the night

@@Jadevansanten Pip did end up eventually eating on her own. I also give my special needs babies the enfamil baby vitamins, the purple packaging.(not the one with iron). Give 1 drop twice a day. I also had another blind baby born a year after this one, she was lucky... Tillies sisters took her under their wing right away and started teaching her the way. They would tap so she could hear and usher her along. She lives like a normal chicken in a smaller coops of hens.

@@ShadowsGrove Thank you! I'm giving her currently water with raw honey, nutri drench vitamin drops, rescue remedy. Chick started with water to make a mash, raw yolk,. Im in Australia. That baby vitamin here is a probiotic in the purple packet, is that what you mean?

@@Jadevansanten Here is a link tot he exact one I use. I also use it as needed on adults (one dropper full for adults) www.amazon.com/Poly%C2%B7Vi%C2%B7Sol-Pediatric-Multivitamin-Supplement-Strength/dp/B07893YNCR/ref=sr_1_16?crid=3NTPL5TLC465B&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.CWZYyfMEwbmaBQreNDKOj9wmg0ccrC2Mc4_sKzFTGi3Z-bLY3LurVD3bhm8WprSDEdeT9ZI9vAkMhV4GFNy6kPFq1ILUlKQ5wk3GCMk0AyyA43ssFk2TSoTM0gBVNGXdjYEeZpoAYiEPKmMvDlIyijXgDTrCHfrsEWiC6E7M_bItYdmAj2elw4cskhWmvrjO4bcb1-RNPIWzQ7okvOZ4MHag12vBWtRwnwNo41lfNZxTbleZPiSgJhy6Rfl2gCw1v0SQ3vEQWkCkoRxQc5KmhTqwBrK4HlKpix9C71pw37o.GbXv0HPbUk1hZZSs1_hU_4X52dth98qLEIF7yIULHdo&dib_tag=se&keywords=Enfamil+Poly-Vi-Sol&qid=1715210288&s=hpc&sprefix=enfamil+poly-vi-sol%2Chpc%2C273&sr=1-16

She lived to be a nice old lady and passed away a few years after this video.

I am happy to hear Goldie is doing well again. I have found that as the cause worsens, so too will the ascites and you will have to drain again and how often truly depends on disease progression and how the chicken is doing in that regards, so do not be afraid or surprised if you find you need to do it again int he future or every few weeks eventually.

@@ShadowsGrove Thanks for your reply. I will keep a close eye on her and likely I'll become more comfortable draining her routinely, especially after seeing her bounce back so quickly. Thanks again!

Aren't chickens not supposed to eat nightshades often?(Peppers)

@@Mike-sy6oy Chickens can eat peppers despite being nightshades so long as they are not including the stem and flower parts that contain solanine. solanine Is what is toxic to them.

I am so glad it helps. This has been a tremendous game-changer for me. It makes like soooooo much easier and protects my fabric.

Yes, always important.

Thank you for the question Brian, she did survive with the condition with this treatment plan for a few years until passing away of old age in her sleep. Egg yolk peritonitis is in fact very serious... but it also has a different set of symptoms. It is important that people make the best medical decisions they can for their animals with the knowledge they have and if they do not have the proper knowledge or experience in being able to do so... then it is vital a veterinarian is utilized. Yes, medical care for chickens is expensive and seen as useless to some and many refuse to take theirs to the vet and some will do anything for their chickens. I do not judge anyone. I personally work with veterinarians for all of my animals in my home and property no matter the species and do know that her condition was her heart and was in fact ascites. The fluid pulled can vary in color from a light yellow tinge to sometimes even looking like orange juice and this can be indicative of disease progression and severity. I do not recommend that just anyone should go grab needles and start sticking their pets. It is important people do ONLY what they are capable of, comfortable with and understand the risks.

I often give a small amount in a syringe directly I'm the mouth and then add some to the water.

Wash it

I actually stitch with the wrinkles and as I go they come out because of the tension of my q-snap. I do not wash until I am finished.

They have never come out for me when washed and ironed. The Qsnaps must be miracle workers then because the hard creases have been impossible for me to remove in the starched/folded Aida. Hence, I never use it. Too much work to chance that in my end result. That’s just my experience and tip, not necessarily everyone else’s.

@@cynthia8022 What kind of fabric are you using? Mine is relatively soft to begin with and thankfully not difficult to finish. I buy mine from a lady online called Tinge of Color.

Thank you, yes I am very blessed indeed. He helps me with so much every single day.

Very good. How is your chicken doing?

I hope she is living like a queen

How is the little one? Its been some time since u posted this comment and I just got an eyeless king/queen.

No, I am sorry, you need a needled syringe

@@ShadowsGrove ok thanks for your reply

I am so glad to hear it helped. It is okay that it was green (not good to be in her, good to come out). Just never do too much. You heard about my video in an article? Can you share the link?

@@ShadowsGrove I'm sorry if my English has mistakes. I was reading a lot about the problem, I don't remember the link where I found the video if it had the corresponding thanks or credits, it would be good if you reviewed it. Apparently the liquid entered the hen's respiratory tract. I hear, sometimes, a breathing with a noise.... Anyway, I'm very grateful. Whatever has to happen, I will continue to accompany her with love and care..

I am sorry I saw this too late

It is not a breed problem... it tends to happen to all breeds.

Thank you, it is my pleasure to share my knowledge.

Hello, I do not think you should put her down without consulting many other people who raise crossbeaks. The one eye situation is okay, they do well with one eye and it is not uncommon in crossbeaks to be born with one eye or no eyes even. There are a few FB groups that exist that specialize in people raising crossbeaks and I have a friend who has one she hatched 7 years ago and she is still with her.

I am so sorry to hear that happened. It sounds as though you punctured her lung... It would be hard to understand what happened as clearly I was not there, but that is what it sounds like to me. How terribly sad she and you had to go through this.

I don’t thinkj did. I used a tiny insulin needle sand syringe (all I had). I only injected lower ab by the leg. I think it’s be safe and had a lot of fluid in the crop and tract and she was on her side with her head lower this. Her body. She was fine until I sat her up and then she took in water. Also a lot of fluid leaked out of her mouth after she died. I should have had her more upright when I did it but had no help. This is my third chicken in a year this has happened too. All from same clutch from the breeder. They grew up together, all comets. I have one left from that clutch. It makes me so sad. I am getting sapphire Gem pullets tomorrow though. Still the guilt, Thank you 😞

Also it was green tinged. Like light olive oil.

Hang in there and she will too. Drain more as needed. I would start adding red pepper flakes to her food, and then also oregano tea to drink as well as not feeding her high sodium scraps.

Awwww yea, emotionally it is hard. Even for me ... I have to go into a different mode because chicken mommy mode gets worried and anxious.

What do you mean the next video?

@@ShadowsGrove you probably mention that was going to be a next video related to this

Yes

How many hens do you have like this?

@@ShadowsGrove 5.hens and 5 rosters. Total 10. From which 2 hens this problem. Stop laying eggs. Or very weak egg shell.

It is true, you can certainly put them into shock if this is not done right or if you drain too much. If I am being honest, I feel and use my hands ... I touch my hens all the time, especially any with an active medical issue. So, by feeling and touching Maizie, I can feel how much is in her abdomen and I also keep a keen eye on how she is handling things.

Awwww thank you. I am so glad to hear this. Bless you both.

How did you girl do? How did you do?

Yes, she began laying eggs again

I am so sorry ... I get so busy and forget to respond to comments. My daughter in-law truly is amazing. She has started working in home health care and hopes to soon attend college and move into a form of health care. Not sure which. Okay, syringes... I actually bought those at TSC Here is the syringes and needles, the bigger the syring the better ... too small is a horrible pain and you will want the luer lock syringes if you can. www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/producers-pride-disposable-needle-18g-x-1-pack-of-24 www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/producers-pride-luer-lock-syringe-35cc-capacity-pack-of-2?cm_vc=-10005 Your girls crop... does it go down after she goes to sleep for the night? Some do tend to eat a ton and it loosk horrible... but then some do actually have issues with crop and or gizard impaction or sour crop. You want to ensure her crop is emptying properly.

For some reason I did not get any notifications on comments for this period of time. As explained in the video you have a small area of opportunity to prevent mistakes, you have to ensure you stay in that area. If you are not comfortable doing the procedure, it is never shameful to ask someone for help. Look at the part of the video where I discuss it and I will show you.

My pleasure, so glad to hear this.

I think you can remove too much fluid at once.

I am so sorry I did not see this. While it is possible you removed too much it is not likely... I have found that when removing fluid they do have an intial "ahhhhh" type response, because they immediately feel better. But the following day they are tired and need rest. I push the oregano tea/water and of course eggs and normal feed with red pepper flakes and usually wihtin 2 days she is back to herself.
