    Rooster with flu-like symptoms

    I have a Japanese Bantam rooster, around 4 years old now, who recently started showing flu like symptoms. It is quite cold where I am so that could be the cause but I'm just concerned of his hoarse voice and crows. He's eating and drinking just fine and he's not lethargic at all, but he randomly...

    Chicken looks swollen up and is hunched

    She's around 3 years old and I've never seen her get this sick before, she was usually quite healthy. I did see one poop, but it seemed watery, and she didn't poop overnight compared to how much she would poop before. I'll try giving her some calcium citrate and see how that helps, thanks for...

    Chicken looks swollen up and is hunched

    I did feel her vent before I posted that, and didn't feel anything, but later on I started to feel an egg, so I gave her a warm Epsom salt bath and attempted to move it towards her vent using a massage. I'm not sure if the egg moved though, it seems quite large. She was also very eager to drink...

    Chicken looks swollen up and is hunched

    My Japanese bantam chicken has been looking swollen up with her feathers fluffed up. She's also standing hunched down a bit. I'm suspecting she might be egg bound, but she hasn't laid a single egg this year. But she's still waking around and eating and seems to run too, but her balance is a...

    Chicken molting and eating herself?! Graphic photos ⚠

    My wyandotte hen started shedding feathers a week ago, quite severely. I was out of state for a while and when I came back she had nearly fully lost her fluffy feathers and was bleeding. I thought it might be other hens pecking at her but when I separated her I realised she was pecking at the...

    Rooster comb black in the morning

    If he doesn't have any other symptoms and seems to be functioning fine then I'd say it's not a huge concern. It is also happen due to lack of circulation so if he's a bit lazy or stays still for a while then it might go black on the tips. Just make sure to check his breathing just in case of a...

    HELP! My chicken has suddenly become sick.

    She didn't make it but I'm definitely going to try this in case it happens to any other flock members. At first I also highly suspected it to be coccidiosis but then her droppings became normal and she was paralysed, just hoping nothing is contagious to other chickens.

    HELP! My chicken has suddenly become sick.

    She passed away today after becoming paralysed although I will keep in mind the advice if anything similar happens. It looked like a lash egg but I'm extremely confused as to what caused her to die. She had multiple symptoms of different sicknesses, but she was getting old so maybe it was her...

    HELP! My chicken has suddenly become sick.

    Just read this :( She passed away this morning after becoming completely paralysed. Don't know what happened but she became extremely thin and slept all day. It looked like mareks although it could have been something else. At first she lost balance but yesterday her leg was completely stiff and...

Her poor are watery, and yellowish green...
