bloated abdomen

Hello, I've got a 10 1/2 month old Andalusian looking hen, who feels very eggbound and full, named Billie Joe. We noticed last Sunday afternoon when we'd picked her up. She's been separate from the other chickens in dog crate with plenty of pine shavings, water, and food. Billie Joe circles and...

Hi! Recently my 3 years old Khaki Campbell duck looked a bit bloated or fat. I first thought she was fat, so I took away her treats and only left her normal meal (Usually a mix of corn and a pro-vita feed). I read some threads here about water belly, but hers doesn't feel squishy or watery, nor...

Hey y'all, This summer I had a hen, Big Mama, that got very bloated. Her tummy was really squishy.. but at the same time, hard? Her tail was drooped & she just kind of "slugged" around. I posted about her & got loads of great advice. We chalked it up to the heat (come to find out the coop...

I have a hen that has just been acting... off. She has had some runny poo that's now stuck on her feathers. Also, she's been acting sluggish. Still eating & drinking, but she's walking with her tail pointed down instead of up, like all my other girls. 🤔 I don't entirely blame her, it's been in...

Hi there! My precious Rhode Island Red hen Oakley seems to have a bloated/swollen abdomen and I have no clue what to do about it. She has a rather intense medical history... over a year ago Oakley was attacked by a wild animal and her esophagus was ripped open. She underwent a surgery and...

I had a 15 month old salmon faveroles. Today I noticed she was walking like she had a bowling ball between her legs. I picked her up and her abdomen was all bloated. She was also panting. I thought she might be egg bound which I’ve never dealt with before. I googled it and did what it said. I...

I have an olive egger that seemed to change overnight. This morning I found her isolated and bloated. She wouldn’t take scratch. I offered food and water to her where she was. She wouldn’t take it. I picked her up (which is usually a short chicken chase but not today). Usually she is ok after...

Hello, I'm new here and I'm hoping that someone here might know what I can do to help one of my ducklings. "Stripey" one of my silver appleyards seems to have a firm yet squishy bloated belly, she is acting lethargic and is not holding her head up as high as her flock mates. I noticed it this...

her name is hope and a saved her from beaing culled pics soon

We have had a very hot and humid week here in VT, and noticed today that one of our girls didn’t greet us to be fed this morning. This was odd, since she was acting completely normal (visually, and eating and drinking) yesterday. Today when we brought her inside (we thought maybe heat stress, we...

Around a day ago I noticed that one of my chickens has a bloated abdomen beneath her vent that feels like it is full of fluid. She has been having very watery diarrhea and is breathing heavy. Today her abdomen feels a little bigger and she looks painful. She will still eat and drink and her comb...
