Out of our 9 easter egger chicks, two started acting weird yesterday. Thought they were cold outside so we turned on the CHE, it did drop here from the normal. We lost one this morning. The other is still hunched over. In almost a standing sleeping ball. Barely chirping and moving. We have...

My hen, 2 1/2 year old olive egger is not moving the last 2 days she was having a hard time balancing on their roost bar but she was still walking around just acting slow. My flock is molting and all of them are dropping feathers except for her. Today I found her laying on the floor of the coop...

Hello everyone. Posting here hoping that the wealth of everyone's information can help us out. We have a 13 month old Barred Rock who is quite under the weather. I've done exhaustive Googling/forum reading/etc and am only more confused by the results. Many symptoms are general signs of...

One of my Black Australorps had pipped about 4/5hrs ago. It’s beak is out of the egg and has never moved in that time. Is it dead? 😔

I have one of my four golden comets non responsive standing in the middle of the back yard with her feathers puffed out, normally if she's sunning she'll move if I bother her but nope I pick her up no problem. Which is a problem since she's normally fussy and so I put water in front of her and...

Hello All, I went to see the chicks today and saw my 2nd to the bottom of the pecking order 8.5 month old EE standing still under the lemon tree. She usually comes up to me and sometimes jumps on my back. We fed her a small handful of mealworms and then offered more later, but she didn't eat...

Update: he was gone within minutes of bringing him inside, before I even finished posting and looking for the nutri-drench. I have no idea what happened but my best guess is botulism from some garden mulch I tossed into their pen to fill a hole. We have no other roosters and very few predators...

Chick hatched, but now not moving. It took about 15-20 minutes to hatch. I've never seen a chick sta y still this long but I've also never seen one hatch so fast. Is this normal?

We have a Muscovy Mother duck that was hatching 7 duck eggs and 2 chicken eggs, the chicken eggs were put in different days so they can hatch all in the same day. The duck succesfully hatched all the duck eggs and only 1 chicken,i gotta admit,the other one (the other chicken egg) was put after 3...

Please help! our rooster is injured but i cannot understand if its his leg or wing. He is just laying in one spot because our dog broke in to the coop. I attached the video. Can we heal him without taking him to the vet? Or should we end his pain? Any tips highly appreciated! First time chicken...

All the chicks were chirpy, running around and this one wasn’t moving from the warmth of the brooder(Brinsea plate) I’ve started painkiller and anti biotic Why did this happen? What’s wrong ?

Hey! My baby chicken, Henrietta, got poop all over her butt and forehead, so I decided to wash it off with a washcloth. I wiped the poop off her forehead and her butt and dried her off with a towel. I put her back in the cage with a heat lamp and she started screeching at the top of her little...

Once again, I look to Backyard Chickens for help. My family noticed one of our two and a half month old silkies not moving in the run, while the others were running and scratching around. He brought him/her inside in a plastic tote. I rubbed homemade salve all over the legs, because it appeared...
