    9 week old pullet with Crop Issues

    Her crop would normally be full in the middle of the day. Are you checking her crop first thing in the morning after she has gone all night without eating, to see if her crop is empty? She seems young for a crop disorder. When picking up a chicken you have to be careful not to accidentally...

    Off-Balance Hen, becoming lethargic

    Do her eyes look like the other chickens’ eyes when you look at them? At her age she could be having some reproductive problems that might affect her walking. Is she showing any signs of molting, which can bring on unusual behavior? How is her crop emptying by early morning? Is it empty and flat...

    Injured chick

    Is her neck stuck to her left or can she move it normally? The wound care instructions above are good to follow. Keep her quiet and offer some water (with sugar 1 tsp per cup) or electrolytes up to her beak. She is probably in shock. If her neck is off to the side, she may have wry neck. Let us...

    is there any reason my pullet would've died?

    That posture is known as “puffed up” or hunched to me. Typical for sick chicks, and for coccidiosis.

    Respiratory related death- but no others with symptoms

    I’m sorry for your loss. Do you still have the body where you could keep it frozen, wrapped in 2 garbage bags, and get a necropsy Monday by your state vet lab? They could diagnose what was wrong with her. Here is a list of state vets to contact Monday am...

    Prolapse tissue

    I would think that is material that has come out from the vent, but it could even be a collapsed egg membrane and egg matter. I would clean her up, and keep it covered with vaseline until it goes back in.

    Really bad bumble foot, please help!!

    Some bumblefoot takes time to soak and care for. That one may be a little more complicated. I would try soaking daily. You can use some Betadine, just a few drops in some sugar to make a paste. For less expensive Betadine under $7. get Walmart Equate First Aid Antiseptic. Put that (sugardine)...

    Egg Bound - tissue or membrane around egg

    I would just release her to go to roost with the others. She might enjoy a bit of cooked egg or wet chicken feed.

    Chicken fell off roost and died :(

    Sorry for your loss. Most state vets can do a necropsy on the body to look for a possible cause of death if you keep the body cold and refrigerated in 2 plastic bags. Do not freeze. Here is a list of state vet labs to contact...

    Baby girl is so sick

    If you dab her eye with saline it will open, and then you can put a small dab inside the eye by gently pulling down on the bottom eye lid. Keep her head scab covered with neosporin twice a day. Instead of strawberries, I would offer wet fresh made chicken feed and water. Then add some scrambled...

    Egg Bound - tissue or membrane around egg

    It sounds like she has a shell-less egg stuck. How much calcium did you give her? I would give 300 to 600 mg of human calcium citrate with vitamin D. After 24 hours you can repeat the calcium. Does she normally lay eggs with hard shells? Is her vent bulging? I would keep her isolated for...

    Rooster with Tremors

    What is your general location? Do you have vet school with a poultry dept in your state where you could send the video for opinions? Tremors is neurological. It can be seen in some baby chickens up to 2 months old with avian encephalomyeopathy (AE) which is sometimes called epidemic tremors...

    Fly strike

    All you need for spraying the wound is salt 2 tsp per quart, which is called saline. It is mild, cheap, and equal to the body’s pH. You can soak in that as well, just use the same 2 tsp per quart of water in a dish pan. Many use warm water with a small amount of epsom salts, a small squirt of...

    Help please! Past white poop, lethargy and making sounds

    It looks like she has some worms in the picture in post 2. What is your location? If you are in the US, you can get SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer, shake it very well, and give her 1.5 to 2 ml orally (0.25 ml per pound) orally, and repeat daily for a total of 5 days. The white paste is urates or...

    Is this water belly ?

    She does have feather loss, and others may be pecking her feathers out. That can make her belly look more prominent. She also could be pulling her own feathers out if she has some discomfort. Has she started looking like she is going into her yearly molt? It sounds like she doesn’t really have a...

    Help with Tiagard

    Dosage is 8 ml per gallon, so it may be mixed too strong. A TB is twice that much. Here is some info on Denagard which is the same as Tiagard: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/denagard-dose-for-3-chickens-how-to.1442100/

    Fly strike

    The maggots have eaten through her skin unfortunately. I would probably soak her again in the morning and make sure of no more maggots. Antibiotic ointment would be good to coat the area under the vent twice a day. Permethrin spray can be used on the area to kill all maggots. Eventually the skin...

    Lethargic 12 week old pullet

    Do you have pictures of her eyes? Are the eyes the same with round black pupils, and are the colored irises normal? Is there any gunk or bubbles in either eye?
