    Robust hen died shortly after coughing up bloody mucus

    I would look at her trachea for signs of blood and yellow gunk. ILT is a respiratory diseases that can cause blood tinged mucus from the beak. It might be good to let your state vet do some histology and testing. Sorry for your loss. Here is a link to find your state vet...

    ¡HELP! WHEEZING CHICKEN

    She is breathing very fast. Is it very hot right now? It sounds like panting. What has she been eating? Have you heard any sneezing or coughing? Can you offer some water to her and make sure there is fresh air and good ventilation? Stridor is a wheezing sound made when they get a piece of feed...

    Help - my chicken is making gurgling sound

    Videos can be uploaded to YouTube or a similar site with a link made public. A picture of her showing her chest may also help. Can you check her crop and tell us if it is full and squishy, firm or is it empty? The crop should be empty first thing in the morning, and fill up with food and water...

    Broody or sick?

    She probably would not still be laying at this point if she is broody. Normally they would have stopped laying by now. Once their broody spell is broken, they will continue to not lay for a couple of weeks.

    Pease Read! Merricks’s or not?

    I haven’t had Mareks in my flock before as Coach 723 and others have. I believe eye injuries can cause the irregular pinpoint pupil seen in your picture. I think the only way to know for sure about Mareks is to get a necropsy and testing after a death. A few labs around the country can do some...

    Serama possible issue, need advice!

    Do you have a vet who will run a fecal float on some fresh droppings to look for worms or coccidia, other parasite? Call ahead and collect them in a clean freezer bag. You can try some probiotics for a few days and then a couple of days a week. What are you feeding them?

    Huge bump next to beak growing larger by day

    For an eye injury or infection, the best thing to do is to rinse the eye twice daily with saline or an eye wash, followed by applying a small dab of either Terramycin eye ointment or plain Neosporin into the eye for a week or so. For saline you can mix 2 tsp of salt in a quart or liter of water...

    Help

    Is she able to drink water and eat? Can you look inside her beak with a light to see if there is anything like yellow material or canker in there? She might be having trouble seeing her water, so make sure that she is getting enough fluids. I would get some Tylosin for her. Fish amoxicillin will...

    Pullet, infected, swollen leg

    I would not be surprised if the leg is fractured where the swelling is. The splinting and limiting her activity can help it to heal in several weeks. Don’t let her run or jump up and down on a roost. Keeping her in a wire dog crate with food, water, and bedding near the other chickens would be...

    Lethargic Bantam Cochin

    Sorry for your loss. I was just reading your newest thread, and I would contact your state vet for a necropsy if you lose another chicken. You will find yours in this list: https://www.metzerfarms.com/poultry-labs.html?srsltid=AfmBOopKkTj-v9UAE6hWpsG5maykWQ0pY3wza7TcaZ_hP25vYnOLOwa_

    Lethargic hen

    Is there anything she could have accidentally swallowed around the chicken coop or run? Is a vet available for an xray? Is she getting grit in a separate container from food? You might want to give her some slightly chilled coconut oil (1-2 tsp) cut into small pieces to peck. Then massage her...

    Chicken has soft swollen spot under beak

    If you could get pictures of her standing with her feet side by side that might help. There are several reasons for swelling of the lower extremities. Mycoplasma synovitis (MS,) a bacterial arthritis, can cause swelling of the ankles and hock joints. Gout can cause enlarged lumpy feet, but the...

    Chicken has soft swollen spot under beak

    Can you see a vet? She might benefit from tube feeding if she is not eating and drinking enough.

    Hen died suddenly this morning and I don’t know why!

    So sorry for your loss. It is best when we lose a chicken to either do a necropsy ourselves, or let the state vet lab pathologist do one to find the cause of death.

    Turkey with Sinus Infection???

    So glad that you were able to get the pus plug out of her. Let us know how she gets along.

    Help

    It is her left eye that looks more sunken than the right eye. I do think that is conjunctivitis. Fowl pox is a virus that does not respond to antibiotics. Conjunctivitis which many times is MG (mycoplasma) does respond to Tylosin. Amoxicllin and some others will not treat that. What antibiotic...

    9 year old hen with pale comb, almost no tail feathers, now moving slow and less interested in food/treats

    Sorry, I thought I posted this earlier, but forgot to post. You can use the endocox if you prefer. Corid does not go bad in 24 hours, but it is preferred to mix daily so the chickens don’t walk and poop in it.p which could contaminate it with coccidia. If you mix it in a gallon jug, you can add...
