    Chicken Is Not Sleeping, Squawking (Respiratory)

    No foam, bubbles, or any sort of discharge at her beak or eyes. Looking at that video, no, she isn't stridoring. I've uploaded a video taken on Wednesday of the sound she makes. It's become more frequent. She hasn't done it the past 1-2 hours, I've only heard little sneezes but I believe she is...

    Chicken Is Not Sleeping, Squawking (Respiratory)

    She is currently in our laundry (very quiet) with the door open a smidge for fresh air with only a small tiny light which can be turned off. I haven't heard her do overly-massive squawks, just her usual minor sneezes and coughs so I may be working. Yes, I'm praying they diagnose her. No chicken...

    Chicken Is Not Sleeping, Squawking (Respiratory)

    We are going to the vet at 9:30 am tomorrow (for ref, posting this at nearly 8pm), and my chicken keeps squawking and not sleeping. She's inside and I've comforted her and nothing is working. The vet said she has some sort of respiratory infection, gave her antibiotics half a week ago, they work...

    Chicken Respiratory Issues (urgent)

    They don't lay often, and when they do the egg eating is rare and normally done but just one of our chickens (not the sick one). What would you suggest is a good diet for them to have? Also I'm not sure what protein the pellets are, all I know is that they're supposed to help provide nutrients...

    Chicken Respiratory Issues (urgent)

    She (as well as everyone) usually have scratch mix (particularly sunflower seeds, wheat seeds, sorghum seeds, etc), layer pellets -whether whole or watered down, and anything else they forage. As treats, they've been given crickets and dried mealworms, however we haven't gotten those in a few...

    Chicken Respiratory Issues (urgent)

    The chicken in question is a Langshan hen, roughly 3 years old and last weighed around 1.3 kg. She has been breathing with her mouth open/audibly, whimpering noises, and stretching neck out releasing large croak-like sounds. The latter two have been only recent, around 3 days, whereas the...

    Chicken Breathing Strangely

    My chicken Carrot has been breathing with her beak open. This has happened for a while and haven't really thought much of it because I thought it was that she was puffed out when I was trying to catch and hold her, considering I primarily used to hear it when holding her. She has been doing it...

    Young chicken, any idea on breed or gender?

    Also thank you for the suggestion. I looked into it and yes it does look really similar. Thanks for the help

    Young chicken, any idea on breed or gender?

    Got her and the other one from a friend that has given us chickens previously. The reason she has no mother is our friends' hens were all attacked and unfortunately killed by a dog so we were given these hens to give them a better home

    Young chicken, any idea on breed or gender?

    Does anyone know the breed or gender of this baby chicken? It has fluffy cheeks, pale legs, dark gray tinted white feathers and black eyes. Sorry for the messy photo they're in the coop now. Unfortunately this little baby doesn't have a mother

    Chicken Feather Loss?

    I'm guessing it's molting then, I'm not sure if I have my meanings correct but rooster damage has to do with roosters? I have no roosters at all, not my chicken stated above either. I will say though I'm glad it's not winter or I feel like she would struggle, but yes I will take your advice for...

    Chicken Feather Loss?

    Do you think I should help her to treat it? Or will it naturally stop and let her feathers grow?
