neurological problem

Wanting to learn for the future I must have switched brooder temperature when I deep cleaned it... I entered into incubating with the mistake of my brooder set to 101.5. This is the first hatch I had fail. I'm finishing Day 19 and 25 eggs unhatched. 2 chicks hatched on Day 18, feet and legs...

Hi all! I'm looking for some help with my naked neck chicken. About a month or 2 ago I noticed she was standing on one leg sometimes. Her feet and legs looked ok, and it wasn't always the same leg, so I thought maybe she was trying to keep herself warm. She went through a full molt about a month...

Ive posted about an issue with the same chicken in my previous post but new things have become clear since. My 5 year old chicken has been losing weight and slowly moving less and less for months and months.. maybe around 6 months..and eating and drinking less until she stopped about two weeks...

Hi BC friends! I’ve got a 7 yo Copper Maran having neurological symptoms. Over a couple weeks I’ve noticed her standing off by herself more and being a little clumsy. Yesterday I noticed an odd head bobbing behavior, like she’s caught in a loop. She’s uncoordinated and seems like she can’t see...

Hi all, Some of you may remember, one of my ducks hatched a clutch in mid may, and they’re all turning out really nicely The other day, as I was looking out through the window, one of the juveniles started flailing around in the ground, wings flapping and everything. I thought maybe a snake or...

We were on vacation the past week and when we came back one of our chickens was acting off. She was walking with her head down low, and sometimes walking backwards. We were going to feed her some egg and tuna to get her some vitamins and selenium but then noticed her crop was rock hard so...

Hi everyone! I have a three year old s/l wyandotte hen who began presenting neurological issues sunday morning (3/8). I immediately separated her and deep cleaned everything, nobody else has shown symptoms and i've been trying to minimize any contact the other hens have with her. Sunday morning...

Hi there, I have a 4 week old Muscovy duckling, his name is Bald Eagle because of the bald spot he was born with on his head. He's always been a little funny, has some balance issues, spacial awareness issues, possibly vision issues. He has started doing it less now but will look around over...

Okay there's a lot to say hah I have a 3 week old muscovy duckling who was born with a bald spot. When he was born up until now we've noticed that he's got some funny neurological things going on, he has a hard time with balance and spacial awareness, he'll look around the room over and over but...

So, one of my birds appeared this way this morning out of my set of 9. She is still interested in food, but disoriented and walks backward and will not hold her head up. I think it's neurological, but different than wry neck. I have raised 4 sets of chicks before, so I am comfortable that their...

hi there. I have read many helpful threads on here regarding chicks with spraddle leg and curly toes. along with hip issues and tendons slipped etc. I cannot figure out which issue this particular chick has, but have attempted most suggested treatments for all things. the story is - This...

I had a set of barnyard mix eggs hatch out yesterday. One of the chicks had a large egg and managed to pip internally, but not externally. I have experience hatching and raising chicks, so I helped it out by giving her an air hole and time. She ended up getting stuck anyway, and I had to do help...

My 4 month old silkie chick just started wheezing a little bit today, and she's been breathing with her beak open and throwing her head back. She's also sleepier than normal and has barely eaten anything. She's drinking well though. I don't really want to put her on anything else since she's...

Hi y'all! I have four 6-week old ISA browns, all of whom were raised together since day 1. One of them that we call Chippy has always been a bit smaller than the others. While her sisters are all proportionate in size, she seems skinnier but taller than the others. I have noticed that the tips...

I have had grown chickens before but never baby chicks. I have a 7wk old light Brahma named Yeti that curls its head upside down shaking it back and forth while backing up until she hits a wall. Maybe slightly unbalanced but No obvious paralysis wing or leg. I also noticed that her irises are...

Hi all - I have a chicken in rapid decline: She is a one year old Cream Crested Legbar. Symptoms started as weight loss during molt over the past week. Then lethargic (i.e. she doesn't try to get away when I go to pick her up - unusual, they aren't pets), not using roost, droopy wings...

My little Copper Marans girl, what to do. In her youth she sat upon a tower of 15 eggs and hatched them all. (We didn't realize she was broody, in the current favorite nest box...so much to learn.) Two years ago she came down with very stubborn bumble foot in both feet. Vet prescribed...
