My giant beautiful Sussex hen is sick, she doesn't move (I picked her up easily), eat or drink. Yesterday they were all eating a big molded apple. The time I realised there was nothing left, not a single seed. I think she has eaten a lot, as she is big and dominant. Today she's lethargic...

My Serama rooster eats a lot, his crop is big in the evening, but his comb is very very pale (light pink) and he has lost one quarter of his weight. He's very weak and doesn't want to leave his cage. There is undigested food in his droppings. That means he's as light as a feather. What can I do ?

I usually hatch my chicks but as I have already too many roosters and found a classified ad about female chicks I decided to buy some. I bought for the first time a Leghorn chick. So I trusted the buyer saying it's a female between 6 and 8 weeks old. I noticed a large comb but she said Leghorn...

My first layer hen, a Sussex hybrid, is nearly 7 years old. She can't stand anymore. She sleeps a lot, sometimes wakes up and pecks 3 or 4 times before falling asleep again. I thought it was how her long life will end. As I took her home, I notice that one eye can't open fully and she has a lot...

When my big eater red little hen became listless and didn't jump at the food anymore, I started looking for treatment. Antibiotics amoxicillin : no effect Dewormed with Biaminthic at high dose (active on crop worms ans ascaridiae) : no effect Dewormed with Teniverm, which kills tapeworms too : I...

She laid only a yolk that looks like a Salt-Cured Egg Yolk. Of course what was on it was not salt (or sugar, like a candied egg yolk) but... what could it be ? Worms ? I searched the web and didn't find anything. She goes to the nest, stays 1hour, gets out singing like she laid

Hi, my hen was becoming lethargic. Yesterday she layed a softshell egg. I de-wormed her with levamisole. Today, she didn't move at all, and layed a shell-less egg with white weird stuff (see picture). She lost appetite. Should I give her medicine ? Her poop is always like a long foamy tube...

There are so many B complex vitamins, the grat majority of them exceeding the RDI (recommended daily intake). For example, Nu U nitrition : 1000 times the RDI in B12 vitamin ! What brand do you use ? Which B vitamins are really useful for chickens with Marek symptoms ?

My young sabelpoot hen was limping. I thought she got hurt since she was still laying. Unfortunately she doesn't recover. She can't walk any more, she never drink or eat, I have to force-feed her and her weight keeps decreasing. She has no other symptom. She looks around her with interest but...

At day 21, the chick had cut the shell. Later there was blood in the egg. I thought the chick died. Day 22, I see its beak moving. I decided to help. I cut a part of the shell to help him. The chick didn't move. At midnight I think he was dead. I have opened the egg to understand why. There...

I forgot to remove a poop of an ill hen, who has passed away since. It is now full of white larvae. Since the poop is on the patio, I wonder : did the worms came after the poop, or was my poor hen infected with worms ? She had been dewormed, so I also wonder : if a hen is REALLY infected with...

I read something about feces that are never molded, and look like a bunch of beans I don't remember if it is a sign of disease (coccidiosis ?) or worms (which ones?). Someone remembers ?

Hi, I posted a thread about my hen which has lost tremendous weight as she doesn't drink and eat, and has liquid yellow poo. She's so thin I wonder "will she be alive tomorrow morning" or "will she be back tonight". Even so weak, she always stands still, never sits down, so I took a look at her...

Hi, I'm afraid all my hens are going to die. First they stop laying, then they won't eat or drink, and their poo is yellow and liquid (just like a broken egg without shell). The vet made me start biaminthic for crop worms. Then antibiotics. And no effect, I can't even force them to eat, they...
