If you are going to stress her by separating her it might be kinder. BUT I came across this thread (when I was checking my memory of BH) http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/13...n-someone-help and it mentions treating it with pepper - might be worth a shot.

Blackhead is usually a turkey problem and not often found in older chickens. When was the last time you wormed them?

Can't see a link? I'm concerned my others might catch it, hence why isolating?

Ah yes I've read that page.. She's just gone to sleep in a box the moment i put her in it taking long deep breaths.. Much longer than usual.

Yellow poo is often signs of a worm infestation. What did you use to worm them?

**chris** · 05-08-2013, 07:44 PM

Marriages pre medicated w/ flubernvet. I've had a look at her poos closely and can't see any signs of worms.

Thanks for replying btw

Well, she died overnight as expected.. kind of glad I didn't have to cull her. Pleased she's gone now, as didn't want her suffering.

Sorry Chris - but relieved for you

Part and parcel of keeping animals isn't it! El was saying that's why she doesn't like keeping them (animals).. and one reason why I don't get too attached to them (though I had a soft spot for this one!)

I think chooks/pets/animals of any sort are all part of your extended family and losing any one of them is difficult. Have a virtual cwtch
