Hi,
I have a hen that is 4 yrs old. Acted completely normal until 2 days ago when she seemed very unsteady on her feet. Now worse. Here's her background:
Both legs very strong still. Can stand without problem as long as you steady her. If you remove your hand she falls backwards, actually to...
6 weeks ago I noticed one of my 9 week old Polish chicks sitting on her hocks. She was in a large cage upstairs in my house with a group of 3 siblings and another 8 silkies all that were hatched here. They had never been outside yet nor has anything from outside brought into their cage. I don't...
I have a rooster that has been treated with Corid x 5 days on 4 separate occasions since November last year. He has also been treated with Sulfa TMS x 7 days on two separate occasions since February. His last treatment was a combination of Corid x 4 days immediately followed by Sulfa TMS x 4...
I have a 6 month old Polish Roo that became unsteady on his feet over the past 3-4 weeks. His legs appeared to be getting weaker. He was in a coop with a few Silkies and was getting his crest plucked so I removed him and brought him in the house. I have tried various treatments during the last 3...

I live in Ontario Canada. I have an odd problem with one of my EE's. She 8 months old (and STILL has not laid her first egg btw!) and she never sleeps squatting down on the roost at night. I know this because I have a webcam in their coop and since she first moved in there 2 months ago I have...
I picked up this Polish at 8 weeks and was told it was a hen. However it almost looks to me like it's getting some pointed saddle feathers? It is 16 weeks old, not crowing, no wattles that I can see at all (or eyes for that matter!). Anyone want to hazard a guess on if this might actually be a...
Hi,
I have only had chickens for 4 months. I have a 10 month old Plymouth Barred Rock that has a vent prolapse. Unfortunately in hindsight I believe she's had it for quite a long time. For the past 6 weeks or so I had noticed the area below her vent was starting to collect poop. I had assumed...
