Hello all, I have a 5 yo golden laced Wyandotte in her most recent molt she lost a fair bit of weight, however it's now been over for about 2 months and it hasn't come back, only gotten worse. I've seen her eating and drinking like normal, her crop will be full at night.
Tonight I went out and...
After losing two of my girls this week, I'd like to post my first ever successfully hatched eggs! 3 babies, with a couple more that might be on the way
My hen started acting weird yesterday. She's panting but it's 65 degrees, when she walks her whole body trembles. She spends most time laying down with wings out. She definitely presents as gotten to hot but I don't know how that's possible.
I have a turkey hen who randomly started acting very sick this morning. She is lethargic and will be puffed up. She also hangs her head most of the time. The rest she is opening her beak and shaking her head.
Is this gapeworm?
So I've been doing research all over the place and there's so many different opinions and symptoms so I wanted to ask
So I have 4 maybe 5 out of 21 birds who have lost a ton of weight, have pale, dry looking combs, and full hard crops. They eat and drink normally. One of them, who I made a post...
My parents own a store in our local urban area and it looks like someone dumped this poor baby out front.
I sell my eggs out of there and they've had a sign up so im guessing someone saw it and decided to get rid of it
Its very weak and not shy at all. Feathers are raggedy.
Best guess is 6-8...
My 2 year old black sex link has this massive crop that is pretty hard. Shes very unsteady but isn't laying down.
She has been molting so I had chalked her not feeling well up to that but it seems like she's getting worse
I have an existing flock of chickens that are all mature and I am getting guineas and turkeys in a couple of weeks and then some more chicks after that. Ive read that you can't keep the breeds together or even around each other as babies. Does anyone have some suggestions for raising 3 types?
ok so my other post was no help. So I have 13 birds, 9 hens and 4 roos. On Monday night I had 1 girl sneezing and sounding a little gurgley. Now I have 1 roo and 3 hens sounding gurgley. The boys are kept separate from the girls.
There isn't any behavior change. They are just sneezing...
I posted a thread yesterday in the egg laying forum. Found a really weird egg with a soft extended tip.
Today I went out and my black sex link has nasal discharge and was sneezing and her clucks sounded gurgley
I have an australorp hen who is a little over a year old. She was fine until yesterday morning when I went out and noticed she had dropped ALOT of feathers at once. She looks very mangey and is keeping to herself. She is normally up close to top of the pecking order and bossy. Today she doesnt...
I have a 20 week old brahma and for a couple weeks she has been limping and now it's gotten to where she won't hardly stand or walk at all. I've inspected her feet alot and can never see any sign of injury. She has plenty of food water and calcium, Ladders and levels of perches with plenty of...
I have a year old pullet, I've actually posted about her on here before. She seems very lethargic, had been walking around or standing with her wings drooped. Her stools are very loose and very watery. She already is a bad egg layer, and has had an issue where she acted like this before and...
One of my year old EE pullers is acting like a complete stooge. She keeps trying to go under all of the other chickens her own size and age. She even went under my meat bird roo! She also keeps almost trilling while shes doing it. The other girls are pretty ticked with her and keep pecking...
Is this a male or female? Not trying to crow, doesn't exhibit any dominant behaviors or try to fight with any of the others. I got her from Mypetchicken and shes supposed to be a she but the comb and waddles coming worry me some.
Went out to check my chooks this morning. Have 4 year old hens, 10 10 week olds, and 1 rooster. I counted everybody running out but was missing one. Went in and found upside down behind the feed bin. Her head and neck were stretched out and she had blood around her beak. Her head and neck...
I have a little mille fleur d'uccle that I got a week ago. Since I got her she's been acting much differently than the rest of the chicks, including the other d'uccle I ordered. Today when I picked her up, she had a stream of sticky, mostly clear liquid come out of her beak. This little girl is...
My week old girl has been acting weird compared to the other chicks I got. I got 2 duccles in this shipment and the other one seems to be running around like normal.
My "problem child" is much more lethargic, she seems to be on her own from the rest of the chicks. She's developing her feathers...
