Hey! So I have 5 silkies that are 5 weeks old and one started sneezing 2 days ago so I was quarantining that one and was giving it vitamins in the water additional to vetrx. I changed bedding for all- we use cedar flakes. Today I noticed 2 more chics are sneezing and their noses look normal but...

Hi, chicken lovers. I’m new to the forum and love reading posts. But now I’m needing help with a chick I bought from Rural King. I’ll add my chicken back story at the end. My main problem is randomly my one month old white leghorn is very lethargic and wants to die. I’ve tried the sugar water...

Help! I have a sneezing, nasal dishcharge from nostril, and gasping for air periodically 10 week old chick. My whole flock got sneezing symptoms but it improved in them after 2 days of vetrx. I don’t know where I can get testing done to see what the sickly bird has, we don’t have avian vets and...

Hi! I’m just starting chicks (my first ever) and they are about 3.5-4 weeks old. One of my chicks, a barred rock, is exhibiting some concerning behavior. Everything I read says the symptoms alone are normal, but not too much about when they are in conjunction. I was holding my baby and she was...

I just got ten chicks from Basin Coop today, and even before we got them, one was very sick-looking. I finally got to see her when she got home, and she is very lethargic. She will drink from a pipette, but not eat. We have given her Rooster Booster vitamins & electrolytes, and I've had her away...

I feel like something is wrong with this 4 week old bantam frizzle I just got. I know literally nothing about chickens really so I have nothing to judge it on but she seems to be breathing audibly while the others are not. She’s also doing what sounds to me like sneezing, but I couldn’t get it...

Hello, I am fairly new to having chickens as pets. I currently have 3 chickens, all about 4 weeks old. I keep them indoors right now in their brooder, but have started to take them outside for a few hours a day in the morning or evening depending on the weather. Today I noticed that my...

I have a month old duck who suddenly started behaving strangely yesterday. Usually it’s very active and chirpy and follows me around but now it seems very lethargic and hides away in the corners, making kinda small whimpering noises. I’m not sure what to do and I’m very worried. Please help!

I have 7 week old chick that has had a problem with her eye for a while. I was wondering if anyone knows what it is. This problem happen since her 1st week but she’s happy and growing normally. She just closes her right eye for some time and upon closer inspection it’s really watery. I added...

Hey! So I have a (roughly) 1-month-old chickens who hasn't been well. She's very snotty (like has a lot of snot/saliva in her beak), she has a lack of interest in food, she hasn't been eating (whoever she would try to eat the food would fall out) and she's very tired and listless. And now she is...

I’m concerned about some baby chicks I bought recently. I bought 5 and only 1 seems to have very little energy. She had pasty poo build up when I got her and cleaned it immediately when I got home. I’m worried she’s sick due to her poo not being able to come out. Anyone knows what is wrong or if...

Does anyone know what’s wrong with my baby chick? She’s about 2 weeks old and her eye has been swelling for the past 4 days. Her eye is very watery and I assume a ball of puss is building up underneath her eye. She keeps it closed for most of the day. I’m worried it’s a similar complication...

I’ve got a turken that’s almost 4 weeks old, I’m not sure if its a boy or a girl, but 4-5 days ago she started displaying issues with depth perception and was sleeping a little more. I made notice that she was babying the eye when I examined all the chicks, but I didn’t think much of it except...

Dear BYC community - We are new chicken owners - have read many books and posts but when confronted with a sick pullet, we don't have experience to guide us! We have 4 pullets, ages 6-9 weeks, and have had them for 10 days. They are in an enclosed coop (with enclosed run) outside, so with some...

They’re a 4 week old leghorn from tsc. Today I noticed they were very lethargic and when I picked them up I could feel their breast bone and hips and they’re very visible when you look at them. I gave them a bath because I found a mite on them but can’t find any others. They won’t eat or drink...

Our hen gave birth to three chicks, two of them hatched in time, one was delayed by some hours but he managed to hatch by himself, then we noticed that eventhough as a baby he was the healthiest, he was growing really slow, like the other chicks are a rooster and a hen, they are both ready to be...
