    Weak, lethargic chicken. Guesses on illness please.

    My Easter Egger, Sophia, has been sick for a few weeks. She started off with some yellow diarrhea. I isolated her and gave her fish mox which did not help. She is drinking and eating a little bit but is essentially skin and bones at this point. I haven’t seen any lice or mites on her and her...

    Bumblefoot healed but foot more swollen than ever

    I’ve been treating Gertrude’s bumblefoot for about a month. I tried surgery but couldn’t find any infection. Then I took her to the vet and got a prescription antibiotic which didn’t help at all. About two weeks ago I started soaking her foot in Tricide Neo which worked. Her bumblefoot looks...

    Sick Hen - possibly lice?

    I have a few girls with yellow diarrhea and poopy butts. One of my hens is now lethargic and not eating. (Crop is empty) While caring for another chicken with bad bumblefoot, I noticed a very tiny clear bug crawl across her face. Is this lice? Could lice be the reason for the yellow diarrhea...
