    Chicken dying and no idea why!!

    I'm going to say this just one more time. She has NONE of these symptoms... Common bird flu symptoms in chickens include: Edema in the comb and wattles Purple discoloration / cyanosis of the wattles, combs, and legs Diarrhea Nasal discharge Soft-shelled or misshapen eggs Decreased egg...

    I appreciate both of you trying to help me figure this out. I can't understand it. Something must be going on inside that just dropped her. I will be surprised if she makes it through the night.

    She was vaccinated for that too. We're in North Carolina in the middle of the state.

    Vaccinated for that and no AI reported here and she has no symptoms of it.

    Chicken dying and no idea why!!

    Her comb and wattle are still red like always. No swelling and her eyes are actually really clear when she opens them. She's definitely not got paralysis because she used her feet to let me know to back off.

    I have one but the ducks have a separate yard and my Drake sleeps in a crate in the coop at night. He's never in contact with the chickens.

    Chicken dying and no idea why!!

    That's what I don't understand. She's a big chicken, maybe 8 lbs. No symptoms and none of the others are acting different. The weather has been really nice here so the girls are out in the yard all day. No mold anywhere and they eat a mix of stuff. Flock raiser, oats, black oil sunflower seeds...

    **video attached** I am devastated right now 😭 One of my RIR, my BIGGEST chicken is dying and I can't figure out what the heck happened. She's only a year old and was vaccinated as a chick. She's one of 15 hens plus 6 ducks. They were all out in the backyard with me yesterday, ate fine and all...

    Has anyone used shoes on chickens?

    This wasn't her feathers though. It was her foot. I'm pretty obsessed with my chickens lol I am out there several times a day and always looking for issues.

    Has anyone used shoes on chickens?

    The bottoms are fine. It's just the top that they peck at. Last night she hopped up on the roost and two others started pushing her because she was in between them. I think it's a matter of besties wanting to sleep together. I moved her to the end and they finally settled down. I also noticed...

    Has anyone used shoes on chickens?

    The bottom of the shoes can be open so that she can roost. I wouldn't keep them in her during the day since night seems to be the only time there's a problem.

    Has anyone used shoes on chickens?

    **not my picture but looks just like mine ** I've got a sweet white cochin that gets picked on every once in a while. It's not always from the same hen and it's always only at roosting time. She likes to snuggle up and the other chickens get mad because they want space. They have PLENTY of...

    Another broody question: to hatch or not to hatch?

    I took the fake ones. They are definitely stubborn!
