    Difficult decisions, would love input.

    I have a hen that's going through the same exact thing. She's not walking, having yellow in her poop, and just seems really depressed/sleeping constantly. Her combs are also still a bright healthy red. I'm probably going to euthanize her tomorrow but if you get any word on what was wrong with...

    Chicken can't walk!

    She weighs about 1.6 pounds. She weights 1.6 pounds and I found what looks like scaly leg mites on my other chickens but they can walk just fine. Should I treat all of them for it?

    Chicken can't walk!

    Thanks for answering. I decided to pull the bumblefoot out yesterday and she taking about 80mg of amoxicillin twice daily. I have also started giving her vitamin b in her water. She's starting to become more vocal and move around a lot more. She still can't walk but she keeps trying to stand up...

    Chicken can't walk!

    She's about a year old and lays eggs frequently. When I try holding her up she tries to stand but her legs seem to give out. She uses her wings to balance herself when sitting and both of her feet are forward infront of her. I do have a big rooster that's about twice her size but I couldn't see...

    Actually now that I think about it I think it might be mereks disease.

    Chicken can't walk!

    She can't walk or stand up anymore. She seems to drink and eat just fine. I put a rag around her to support her since without it she'll just support herself with a wing. I don't know if it really is leg mites since I've never heard of a chicken not being able to walk at all.

    How do I tube feed a chick

    I have a pretty lethargic chick that's about 7 days old. His crop feels empty and I'm unsure of where to put the feeding tube. I know the passage way to the lungs is lined up with the ending of the tounge but I have no idea where the esophagus is.

    Duckling seems to have no eyes?

    He's ok. I was just very worried since it's been over 30 days since the duck mother first sat on the eggs. When I pulled some of the membrane there was no bleeding surprisingly. I wouldn't have gone further if there was bleeding. I left him in his egg and coated him in a little amount of neosporin.

    Duckling seems to have no eyes?

    Hello again😩. One of my female ducks abandoned her eggs when they were about a couple weeks away from hatching so I decided to put them in an incubator with my chicken eggs. Only 1 of the 6 survived and should be hatching very soon but the duckling hasn't made a sound at all. So I decided to...

    I THINK MY DUCK IS DYING PLEASE HELP ME

    I'm not completely sure but maybe she might have a heat stroke? Is it hot where you're at? Because I live in AZ and one of my ducks went through a similar thing but without the seizures.
