This hen was recently loaded with mites. I didn't notice until I picked her up and she had lost quite a bit of weight. The fact that she is skittish but I was able to pick her up was another clue which led to the discovery of the mites. She was eating normal in fact she was gulping down food...

This hen has had chronic diarrhea for about 6-7 weeks. This hen is from my original flock of 12 of which only 3 are left. She is at least 7-8 years old maybe more as I got her as an adult. My gut tells me she is just getting very old. She walks slow and is kind of weak with a bodyweight that...

This hen has had a long term respiratory issue starting back in August. Initially she wasn't coming out of the coop run but other than that seemed to be okay. Over time I started to notice the sneezing/congestion and brought her in and gave her antibiotics which didn't seem to help. This hen...

Not sure is this is the right forum. Thought the information would be helpful and I learned of Oxine here. This hen was sick for about 8 weeks. Initially she was not coming out of the coop for about 4 weeks but otherwise looked normal. After further observation I noticed her having difficulty...

I have an Easter Egger that seemed to pass a bloody dropping over night. After a little digging online I read that it might simply be shedding of intestinal lining overnight. Any thoughts would be appreciated. The first 2 pictures are the dropping of the Easter Egger over night with the last...

I recently pick up 4 year old hens and took them as a group. All very healthy energetic hens outside of an eye injury on one. It looks like it might have been a pecking injury because the hen if fine otherwise. Not sure when it happened. I have been bathing it with warm water using a cotton swab...

I have a hen that was ill about a month ago so I brought her into the house. She didn't eat or drink for about 3 days then all of a sudden she passed a large object then proceeded to poop about 12 times within an hour. It seems like the object created a blockage. Now the same hen is ill again...

This hen seems to be falling over each time she goes to scratch. I only have one instance on the video but it seems to be continual. She seems to be twisting her neck quite a bit not much. Mostly it is scratching vigorously to her right side then falling over. She did lay a shelless egg...

This hen had lost most of her feathers about 2 years ago and was very skittish. With some care she became much easier to handle while also growing all her feathers back. At some point about 6 months latter she stopped producing eggs and has always had a constant wiggling of the neck as if trying...

I'm sure this question has been brought up before but since I have a picture I thought I might receive a better response. One of my Red Star's was not feeling well about 3-4 weeks ago so I brought her into the house and after a few days she bounced back. I did pull out something from her vent...

I was wondering if anyone might know what this condition may be. It's been like this for almost 6 months and it does not appear to be mites. The rest of my flock are doing fine and upon visual inspection I did not see mites. She is very happy but I am a little concerned.

Hi I had a hen I noticed this morning with a prolasped vent. I brought inside the house, washed the area and applied some lubricant while feeling for an egg/pushing the prolapse back. She kept pushing it out and after a minute or so passed a very large fluid filled sac that looked like a water...
