symptoms

Please help! This has been happening for awhile now, but the green liquid issue is becoming more often and I don’t know why. She eats a good duck feed and has chicken or salmon everyday, so there’s unlikely to be anything wrong with her diet.

Hi All, One of my rescues started getting the common problem that many rescues do, EYP. Having lost most of my others this way I decided after her second round of getting it and surviving with antibiotics (tylan) to try an implant. I was expecting the side effects such as lethargy and loss of...

Does anyone have experience with a mixed flock of birds vaccinated for Mareks with birds unvaccinated? What happened to the birds weekly/monthly/over the years living together? Thanks!

I just acquired an Isabel Lavender Mottled English Orpington pullet and a hatch mate on Saturday from a breeder I know and trust that lives up in the hills where smoke from a nearby fire was REALLY awful. The mottled pullet had a runny nose when I brought her home and seemed a bit stressed out...

I have two chickens with a pimple near their nose/ beak area. It’s fairly firm and she gets uncomfortable when I try and squeeze it. It started with one chicken but now two of them have it. I have looked at many chicken diseases but nothing looks like this. If anyone knows what it is and how I...

Hi all, we have just lost one of our ex battery hens after 6 months of freedom. We are unsure of the reasons so any help would be appreciated as we don't want to loose any more! Our hens are roughly 2 years old now and have slowed down laying. One of them went quiet a few days ago, would spend...

We have a hen that has intermittent symptoms. It happened yesterday and then she was normal and happened again early this morning. She is a Momma hen. Chicks over a week old and healthy. The hen sticks her beak up towards the sky then looks like she is gasping for air while laying in the upright...

Hi Everyone, I am wondering whether anyone can tell me -- can my domestic geese (Sebastopols) recover from AI/carry it without showing symptoms? My gander died a little over a week ago from an unknown cause (lethargy, no eating, excessive drinking, webs of feet turning purple, coughing up water...

I have a 6 month old pullet with a strange backstory. So she hatched from my two Easter Eggers and was always quite small for her age. When she was 3.5 months old, her feet got severe frost bite and she lost all her toes. She has lived in our house since but has been showing weird symptoms since...

My chickens outside have been infected with Infectious coryza and are all being culled as we don't have a cure for the disease. The chicks inside aren't affected by the disease and were born last Friday. I noticed today that a chick quickly spasmed it's it's almost as though it was sneezing. I...

My chickens eyes have crusted over and we’ve had 2 of our usual eggs today!! Some chickens have 2 eyes crusted some only have one and some have none but I need to know what’s wrong. My dad keeps saying it’s dust but that dosent justify the egg drop so I feel like there’s something more. We have...

I am caring for my daughter's 5 month old hen as I have nursed many back to health. This time is a bit of a mystery. She has been dragging her right leg for two weeks. It feels like she has no muscle/fat on that thigh compared to the other. Her poo is completely normal and no respiratory issues...

First post from long-time lurkers. We bought a couple of scrawny chickens from a dodgy back yard breeder. Both had pretty pale combs, patchy feathers. One had a runny nose and would cough/sneeze. Months later and one of them, the one without the runny nose, is very healthy - plenty of weight...

My 2 year old hen just had 5 chicks with a high mortality rate... The newborn chick symptoms all came within a day or two of the chicks hatching: - General weakness, tiredness, dozing off, low energy, limpness, closed eyes - inability or lack of desire to eat / drink - consistent yawn-like...

Yes I know that bio-security is the most important part of raising chickens, but I am having difficulty deciding what disease nearly wiped out our flock. I am doing my best with the chicken yard. What I need is a simple check list, this symptom present, yes or no ... go to question so and so...

Hello all, I have 3 chickens. Have had them for about 2 years. Been great so far, nothing major. However, my one Rhode Island Red this week has become extremely lethargic, pale comb with a strange white power/dust on it, not laying eggs, not eating or drinking. I checked her for being egg bound...

So for a couple of days my 16 week old sussex chicks have been acting strange and stressed. Symptoms include: >wheezing/sneezing(very wet) >shaking head >diarrhea (sometimes the food doesnt even look digested) >drooping wings >sleeping balled up together >at night they are very loud as if...
