A little while after I had bathed Salmon and returned her to the run yesterday I picked her up to inspect her vent. There was a clear liquid dripping from her vent which I thought may be egg white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have read that if a girl has an egg stuck or broken inside them that sometimes if they are treated with antibiotic straight away it may stop a bacterial infection and they may pass the egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The year before last when Salmon was laying soft shelled eggs I once saw her pass a shell less egg. I wonder if this is what she has now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I checked my store and I have some tylan that is still in date. I decided to put it in the water and some mash right away and we also used a syringe to put some directly into Salmon&#8217;s beak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I not sure if this will save her but I have nothing to lose by trying and her comb is still red which is a good sign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This morning  Salmon was perkier and tucked into the tylan mash. I started to feel hopeful. Later I could see that she had poop hanging again and as the day went on she started looking miserable again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/salmon-at-the-mash-this-morning.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/salmon-at-the-mash-this-morning.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/salmon-at-the-mash-this-morning-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/salmon-at-the-mash-this-morning-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Salmon at the mash this morning<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/salmon-has-poop-hanging-all-the-time-at-the-moment.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/salmon-has-poop-hanging-all-the-time-at-the-moment.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/salmon-has-poop-hanging-all-the-time-at-the-moment-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/salmon-has-poop-hanging-all-the-time-at-the-moment-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Salmon has some poop hanging all the time at the moment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/salmon-is-back-to-this-later-in-the-day.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/salmon-is-back-to-this-later-in-the-day.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/salmon-is-back-to-this-later-in-the-day-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/salmon-is-back-to-this-later-in-the-day-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Salmon is back to this later in the day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This morning I was full of hope but now I am not so sure.
