I have a hen who is about 9ish months old. First she had coccidiosis, all chickens was treated with corid. Right after that she had a impacted crop which I did take her to the vet for and she was given metoclopramide 5 ml. While still dealing with the crop issue I took her back to the vet 2...

Disclosure: first time taking care of quails Hi again. Yesterday night I went into the adult quail enclosure to collect eggs and I noticed one adult female on her side near the water cups. I picked her up with no resistance from her so I knew something was wrong. Today, her wing she was laying...

I have a gander with a limp that’s progressed into lameness, though not full paralysis, he could still feel and move his legs but couldn’t stand or balance. He was treated with Cipro and Amoxicillin for two weeks and recovered his ability to stand. Two weeks after finishing the Cipro and a week...

Hi! I have a hen that always has droopy tail. At first, I thought she was sick, but it's been 2 months already and she's acting normal. I did notice she was pecked (or she pecked herself?) the base of her tail to blood a month ago, but nothing concerning and it healed well by its own. I decided...

I woke up one morning and my Ayam cemani rooster (9 months old) named Ayam, was stumbling and his comb which is usually jet black was pale. So, the vet thinks it's Marek's, but this is the 6th day and he still has spunk (he's a very strong guy), eats well (on his belly), drinks (when I hold the...

I recently had a rooster become paralyzed. I read and read and treated him for a vitamin deficiency. In a couple days I saw improvement. It's been about 2 weeks and he appears to have recovered. I've seen quite a few posts of paralyzed birds and vitamins suggested. It make's me wonder why...

Hi, I'm writing here in hopes to get some help from the great people here! Starting from the beginning, this rooster had a really bad case of mites that we somehow missed for quite sometime. When we realized there was a problem, he was already limping pretty badly but was still standing up...

Hello all! First I must say that I’ve been using backyard chickens for YEARS but this is my first time posting. Such a helpful forum, I’m so appreciative of all of you. A few days ago, I noticed that my polish girl was struggling to walk, kinda flopping around the garden. When she was a...

Hello, I am hoping some can please help me. I have a female Pekin that has been having a really bad day. She can't seem to walk her left leg seems paralyzed. It does not seem like there is an injury or wound. when she tries to move she uses her wings and her leg kind of just gets dragged along...

My chicken is having trouble with walking and often just falls over. She raises her tail in the air and is not eating much, as she is lighter than usual, we checked her to see if she was egg-bound but couldn’t find anything. I’m so worried about my little favorelle! Can anyone help? She isn’t...

My 12 week old Delaware Heritage isn’t doing well.... Three days ago I notice her laying near the feeder in the corner of the outdoor run. This is an unusual spot for her to lie. She then tried to get up and couldn’t. It seemed to be that she couldn’t move one of her legs. I assumed she...

About 6 weeks ago, our relatively young Crested Cream Legbar (old enough for the coop but not laying yet) looked like she had an injured wing. She was dragging it on the ground and didn't seem to be able to move it. We tried wrapping it, but she kept managing to get it undone. About a week...

I recently acquired 3 lovely 12-15 week old hens to add to my backyard flock, and while in quarantine 1 of them has become ill. When they first arrived I gave them some water with apple cider vinegar to help combat the stress of travel, but within a couple of days "sick chick's" condition became...
