    MY CHICKEN IS ON DEATH'S DOOR! ONLY RESPONSE IS BREATHING. IS THERE ANY HOPE?

    She died last night around 11:30pm. She started breathing heavily around 10:00pm and I heard a noise in the bathroom. Went to check and she had flopped over in one last burst of energy before she died. It was my son's pet chicken so this is especially hard on him. We buried her this morning...

    MY CHICKEN IS ON DEATH'S DOOR! ONLY RESPONSE IS BREATHING. IS THERE ANY HOPE?

    Is it ok to force her mouth open and pour a substance down it? Will I drown her accidently? She looks dead except for breathing, that's how terrible of shape she seems to be in. Not sure if she is egg-bound. Not sure what else it could be????

    Blood Abscess on Bantam upper leg - Please Help me figure out what is causing it!

    Hi I have a Bantam of unknown age (she lays eggs) which I inherited 2 months ago. I recently noticed a rather large lesion on her upper leg, up in the area around her leg feathers. I would not have seen it except that I had to give her a bath. When she was wet I finally saw this what appears...

    More specifically, are MORNING GLORYs toxic to chickens

    my brahma chicks love morning glory and I have been picking the leaves so they could eat it. I didn't know it was toxic until now. They are eight weeks old and haven't shown any symptoms of sickness. Have I accidently poisoned my chickens so that they will die a slow painful death? Is there...
