    Please help

    Thank you. She passed away last night. I think she may have had a seizure or something. She was a whole foot away from where I left her and the food and water I left her spilled everywhere.

    Thanks. I was going to look into worming her today but she didn’t make it.

    Please help

    Hey all. My almost 7 year old hen was fine yesterday and today something is wrong. I went to check on her tonight like I always do and she was just laying on the bottom of her coop. Her body felt very light and limp when I picked her up. I put her down on the grass and she just laid there...

    Americana acting different.

    Hey Everyone! I have a 6 yr old Americana. I’m a little worried about her right now. She usually comes flying out of her coop in the morning when I open it up and dig around in the yard. Lately, she doesn’t want to come out. She just roosts all day in her coop. And when she does come out, she’ll...

    Mareks?

    So I know there is no way to know for sure what happened without getting an autopsy. But I want to know what this sounds like. About a year ago, we thought mareks entered our flock. We had a girl who slowly started getting paralysis in her legs to where she couldn’t walk and had the...

    Duck eggs?

    I know this is a chicken page, but had a question about duck eggs. Basically people had 2 ducks, they were moving so they took the ducks and then we found a pile of eggs. How do you tell if they’re fertilized? I don’t know if the ducks were a male and female or both female, so I’m not sure if...

    Can hens die from depression?

    Hello all. One of my girls just passed away. The 6th one. Mareks. Anyway, there’s just 1 left. (I know that she is already infected) Mareks has been in the flock for about a year, and after a couple months, someone shows signs and then passes. Well now we just have 1 left. Can they die from...

    What killed my girl?

    No other wounds. And her stomach was facing down. I didnt look close enough to see if they were burrowed or not. Some fell off when I first picked her up

    What killed my girl?

    The weird thing is that none of the maggots were on, in, or near her vent. They were all on her tummy

    What killed my girl?

    I guess I'm just concerned since they got her so quick. So I'm worried they got her before she died and that that's what killed her. I just don't know what else it could have been. It was only a 36 hour span with no checking so the maggots had to happen quick. They were all about 1/2 an inch...

    What killed my girl?

    Hey all. So I don't live with my parents anymore and we had some chickens. I checked on them daily, but I moved out. So my parents let them in and out and feed and water them. However, they don't love them like I do. So they don't check on them every single night. So basically, my barred rock...

    What is wrong with my 2.5 yr old barred rock???

    This may be a dumb question, but how would I tell if it's gone down in the morning? Would it just feel and look smaller? What are other symptoms of impacted crop? As far as Mareks goes, it wouldn't surprise me. About a month ago, one of my hens got basically paralyzed. She would eat and drink...

    What is wrong with my 2.5 yr old barred rock???

    Not sure the square footage, but the space has never seemed to be an issue for them. I have 4 birds total. Her poo was pretty dark and she's pooing more than usual. I don't know if that means anything. Here's some pictures

    What is wrong with my 2.5 yr old barred rock???

    I need help. My barred rock hen has been missing a lot of feathers lately. We weren't sure if it's a molt, or if the other chickens were picking on her (she's at the bottom of the pecking order). Today my mom noticed she was laying kinda weird with her eyes closed. While observing that, she also...

    egg yolk peritonitis? My buff Orpington is sick

    I have one more update if anybody was wondering how she's doing: she just finished her 10th amoxicillin last night. She's been outside everyday with the rest of the flock, and the past 2 days she's been eating a lot more. Eating the food we bring her and eating her actual chicken food. She lost...

    egg yolk peritonitis? My buff Orpington is sick

    For those still following this thread, first of all thank you for all the help! And also an update on my girl: last night she wasn't moving at all just laying in one spot with one eye closed. This morning when I went to check, she was up and walking around. It looks like she ate a little bit of...

    egg yolk peritonitis? My buff Orpington is sick

    Update: Sunnys abdomen feels the same as the other chickens. I don't know what's wrong, but she doesn't seem to be getting better. We took her outside for the day again and she was pecking at the ground again. But we have to force her to eat anything. She has started closing one eye, not moving...
