Hey everyone,
The longer story: I have a large hen that has been trying to go broody for two- three weeks. She removed the feathers from her belly and will not leave the nesting box. She isn’t laying and everytime I take her out she runs back in. She’s barely eating and drinking and it’s been...
This is Winnie, our little Japanese Bantam Hen that is at least 15 years old. She hangs out with 9 full size hens. About 4 days ago she was lethargic, tail down, etc. So I noticed her crop was very full and pretty firm (like putty or dough). I began giving her coconut oil and massaging it...

3 days ago my parent bought a hen, my rooster been alone from 6 months we sold his last chicken because of bad financial conditions but honestly he looked depressed and sad without a hen so i told my parent to get a hen for him and they did, that hen was pretty active and my parent checked her...
I've noticed that last few days my cockerels have had neon green poop. It's not runny. It looks normal, it's just bright green. They are all acting fine, hungry, thirsty, and have a lot of energy. These birds don't free range that's why this poop scared me. Could it be the feed? They are in with...
She’s only two days old, very healthy I think. She eats a lot drinks a lot and loves to run around. I noticed that her poop is quite green. Pls help I don’t this his is normal.

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
A pullet, barred rock, 17 weeks old. Yes it did feel thinner than the others.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
She was letargic, tilted her head, was, reluctant to move, had diarrhea...
My 2.5 y/o Barred Rock didn't come out of the coop this morning, which was a red flag. Upon coaxing her out, I found her crop to be soft and swollen, and noticed her poops were a slimy yellowish-green. Here's some more info:
History: she had recently started slowing down laying this summer, and...
Hello , I have a 4 week old Welsh Harlequin (Harley) and 3 days ago she sounded like she was losing her voice. We read that this can happen when they are getting their quack and she was acting fine otherwise so we didn’t think anything else of it.
The next day she had completely lost her...
Unfortunately, a fox was able to get ahold of one of my free ranging hens before I noticed and scared him away. Before I noticed the commotion he was able to puncture a few holes in her.
This was about a week ago, she's got a few puncture wounds on her back and belly and one nickle sized wound...
Two days ago, my female coturnix fractured ( did not break thankfully! ) her left leg and I have kept her quarantined in a box. Sadly she is unable to move much, but she continues to eat, drink, lay eggs, sleep, poop...I am more on the hopeful side for her recovery.
However, around 4 hours ago...
Hi all,
I have a baby broiler chick who is just over a week old. i first noticed him out of his brothers because I thought he had hurt his foot. He refused to walk on one side and held it up. I made him a makeshift cast using a cotton q-tip. I separated him and had him in with three other...

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
Rhode Island Red. She’s approximately 5 years old is my best guess, she doesn’t feel much lighter but I rarely hold her for her comfort.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
A bit...
Is this sour crop? It’s very squishy.. I’ve been massaging it every hour or so.. I went out of town and came back to this. Poor chick seems so uncomfortable, you can see she’s puffed out and her head is tucked in. I’ve separated her and have been giving her water only.. she also has pretty green...
I gave our 15 week old duck vegetables (corn and peas) about 2 days ago and he’s been pooping green ever since. Both the solids and urates go from dark green to mint color depending on the poop. The duck seems to have as much energy as usual and the texture of the poop is normal. Just the color...
