    Possibly Sick Quail?

    Thank you, I did separate her from the others last night, because she was the one who had been looking sick, and unfortunately she died a few hours later. And also sadly upon checking on the others this morning I found another had died in the night. I can definitely post pictures, although I'm...

    Silkie hen panting, tail pumping

    She could be egg bound, do you have any tums or calcium citrate? Videos can be uploaded to YouTube or similar and linked back

    My hens butt/vent area is super hard - is she sick?? Photos Included

    I dont know... How could I tell? She hasn't been laying eggs for a while now and I always assumed it's because she is old (especially for an ISA Brown).

    Possibly Sick Quail?

    ...warm, dim place. Can you post pictures? What are you feeding them? Is it eating? Is it drinking? Does its poop look normal? If this is a hen, check the vent to see if you can feel an egg. If it's pooping, it's not egg bound, but if not, it could be. That must be treated ASAP so she...

    Sick, lethargic chicken.

    ...But you can try the Baytril if these other suggestions don't effect any improvement. Just because she laid an egg doesn't mean she isn't egg bound. Often, two eggs are involved, and she could still be struggling to get the second one out. Her poop would not necessarily be normal, though. But...

    Sick, lethargic chicken.

    ...drooping. Shes not standing up and turning around in her isolation pen, she has stayed frozen all day. She laid an egg today - so isn’t egg bound, surely? She only eats if I hand feed her. Her poo is normal, not runny, or bloody coloured. I gave her coccidiocis treatment and a...

    Molting egg strike?

    ...more feathers after today. All of the hens are at least 3-1/2 years old - the white hen and rooster are 4-1/2 and a couple might be a year older than that. No poopy butt or egg bound behavior, everyone is eating. Should I just keep assuming this is from the heat and molting? Thanks Shannon

    Duck can’t swallow, water won’t go down, comes out mouth and nose

    I tried to get a picture, by pulling her tongue forward there’s a bit of mucus like white stuff and I can see the little valve thing opening and closing, I don’t see an obvious obstruction. At first I was thinking egg bound, but now it seems like the issue has to be something in the throat/crop?

    Chicken with bald spot and maybe missing half her comb

    Update: I noticed she’s missing them all under her chin area as well… only my one Lavender Orpington (23wks) has shown any sort of aggression but it’s mostly just puffing up and running and her but she’ll still go by her. Should I put the orpington in a kennel in the run during the day or wait...

    Chicken with bald spot and maybe missing half her comb

    I wouldn't worry as an injury to the comb will bleed a lot, so obviously that hasn't happened. When a hen goes into moult, or feels a bit down for whatever reason, for example mite infestation, her comb will lose a lot of colour and shrink a little.

    Chicken with bald spot and maybe missing half her comb

    ...I checked the coop cam later that night and she was sleeping in the nesting box so I decided to check on her today in case she may be egg bound or something. She laid her egg like normal and seems completely fine and then I realized the bald spot and comb. There’s no blood and hasn’t been. It...

    Rooster was high stepping, now passed away

    ...It happens, but as my granddaughter say, “well that is tough, but now we can add chicks. I have had chickens for decades, never had an egg bound chicken or any disease. Not that I don’t believe people on here that do, but people tend to post about trouble, which in turn makes it look like...

    Egg binding?

    Welcome To BYC I'm sorry for your losses, if you lose another, it would be a very good idea to investigate further to find out what may be causing the deaths so frequently. Your state lab can do a necropsy and give you a report of their findings or if you are up to it, you can do your own...

    Egg binding?

    We have had 2 chickens die unexpectedly in the past week. One of them was laying very large eggs and we think she got egg bound. (We didn't know who was laying what at this point) The other one was laying very normal sized eggs. We thought she might have been going broody because she was...

    Sick Hen. No appetite, Green poop? (Pictures) start corid?

    ...bully and always has something to say to somebody, so it was obvious she’s not feeling well right away. Was hoping she was just a little egg bound, but no results after a 25 min epsom salt soak. Saw a bit of snotty looking blood in the bath water, so considering starting Corid. Her crop is...

    PLEASE HELP. IS SHE EGG BOUND? IS IT SOMETHING ELSE?

    I really dont know whats going on with my chicken. 1) What type of bird, age, a nd weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others) Leghorn, 26-20 weeks, feels normal. 2) What is the behavior, exactly? She's been sitting down, tail down, and doesn't really eat or...
