Millie has seemed like she can’t eat recently. Will open her mouth like she’s struggling to breathe. Has lost weight. Looked inside her mouth today, and this is what I see. Has an odor coming from her mouth. Could it be wet fowl pox? If not, what could it be. Is there anything we can do for her...
Central Virginia.
I asked her and she’s going to send me some in a few minutes. I’ll share as soon as I get them. There’s one vet somewhat near us who sees chickens so she’s on the phone trying to figured out if they can give us any advice.
They little Roos play fight, but never super...
My mom was just out with them and one of the boys sneezed, blood came out his mouth and then he starting almost seizing. He was still with really labored breathing and then he started lifting his head and making the most pitiful sounds. She thinks he’s dying. Do you have any advice on what I...
It seems like all of them are already getting it, though. None of them have warts. Already looked inside a few of their beaks, trying to figured it out. One just sneezed and blood came out his mouth. It looks like he’s dying I have no idea what’s wrong with them and I’m freaking out.
I don’t think it’s the crop, but I’ve always been confused by it, a bit. The boy died last night. And the hen looks much worse today and doesn’t seem to be eating at all. Maybe not even drinking. She had runny yellow poop this morning. And this weird coughing/almost gagging sound. Also sneezing...
I looked it up and I’m not sure if it’s quite that. None of them have purple combs or legs. The boy that was so lethargic died last night. The hen looks even worse today and just keeps drooling. Another one had her eye closed and it looks like she open it and some of them have mucus coming from...
Right now we’re doing flock raiser crumbles by Purina, since we have such little guys in there. We do grass that is chicken safe that we cut up to small pieces, scratch, and they get kitchen scraps, although they haven’t had scraps in a few days. She now has a runny nose and looks so much worse...
Went outside yesterday and one of my 22 week olds (not laying yet), was by herself, drooling from her beak, puffed up and very lethargic. She’s making a kind of gargling/heavy breathing sound and it’s like she keeps kinda sneezing. The drool from her beak was clear, thicker. She’s almost just...
Went outside and one of my chickens hatched in April, was by herself, drooling from her beak, puffed up and very lethargic. She’s making a kind of gargling/heavy breathing sound and it’s like she keeps kinda sneezing. The drool from her beak was clear, but thicker. Doesn’t seem to be anything...
I went outside this morning, and my favorite hen Martha, was murdered. She was in one of their nesting places, so at first I thought she was just laying an egg. When I went to look though, she was dead. There was a ton of her feathers, in two different places. No blood anywhere. My other 3 that...
Our rooster got attacked the night before last. By a opossum we believe. I was running late for work in the morning so they didn’t get checked until 1:30pm. They always still have food and water so I wasn’t worried. When I found him he already had maggots in the wound, we cleaned him up as best...
He's by himself at the moment. He has head and eye injuries. A few small chunks of flesh are missing from his head. All the head feathers are gone and he looks very bad. I'm new to chickens only had them since May, and I have no idea what to do. He's one of my favorites and I would appreciate...
I was outside with my girls a couple hours ago and out of nowhere I noticed that my 18 week old Cochin was standing up and closing her eyes. I had already been with them an hour and she hadn’t done it, but once she started she keeps doing it. She isn’t dropping her head exactly, just drooping it...
We got these 4, and honestly have no idea what they are. We know one is crowing, but they look so alike, we still can’t hardly tell them apart. Two of them are bigger, then the others. I believe they’re 14 or 15 weeks old. We’ve had them since they were about 6 weeks and they are so unfriendly...
I have 4 that I’m not sure about, one is crowing and is definitely our Rooster, but I want to know about these others.15 week old Cleopatra.
15 week old, Mammie. Let me know if these are good enough pictures of her.
13 or 14 week old, Henny Penny.
Lastly 13 or 14 week old, Gertie. We are...
Oh no! Do you think the man could have gotten them confused? I know this breed is Autosexing. He did say if any we got from him turned out to be Roos, he’d take them back, so hopefully he’ll keep his word. We also have a few from another breed, that we got from him, that we’re also pretty sure...
