    Help! My hen’s neck is twisted around and her eyes are closed

    We had to cull her this morning. She was suffering and couldn’t walk or open her eyes and the other hens had been picking on her bad. RIP Skippy.

    Wry Neck-What Does Recovery Look Like?

    I’m having this same problem with a hen right now too. Did you end up culling her?

    Help! My hen’s neck is twisted around and her eyes are closed

    Thank you for this. I did add six new birds to the flock and she was one of them. I’ve only had her since the middle of this summer.

    Not anymore, she could yesterday but it seems like she can’t today.

    Help! My hen’s neck is twisted around and her eyes are closed

    I think you’re right. She has never liked being held so I think I’m just going to let her be. She seems relatively comfortable I think. I hope.

    Help! My hen’s neck is twisted around and her eyes are closed

    I don’t think so 😢 I don’t know how to help her. I put her in the nest box where she’s been sleeping lately. I don’t know what else to do :(

    Help! My hen’s neck is twisted around and her eyes are closed

    She’s doing bad. She’s just laying there with her eyes shut and her head tucked into her side. I think it’s neurological too.

    Help! My hen’s neck is twisted around and her eyes are closed

    I have a hen who I believe is about two years old that was acting “drunk” recently and has slowly deteriorated the past few days. When we got her she had a hop in her step which seemed to get worse over time. Then for a while she was just wobbly, but that got worse and worse over time and then...

    Lethargic chicken yawning a lot

    Ok I did all of this! Her crop was empty before bed so I’ll check again in the morning. There were no mites or lice—I checked in her ears and all along her head and whatnot. I felt no swelling or abnormalities anywhere on her body. Inside her mouth and nose looked normal too, no lesions or...

    Lethargic chicken yawning a lot

    I’m unsure if she was vaccinated because we adopted her along with 5 other hens from someone who couldn’t care for them anymore. I can try to get photos of her and her poop today! She is tough to catch so I’ll do my best to feel for bloat or anything like that. She doesn’t have any lesions that...

    Lethargic chicken yawning a lot

    Ok, I haven’t read about fowl pox yet so I’ll do some research and see if symptoms match. Did those chickens get better?

    Lethargic chicken yawning a lot

    I have a leghorn hen that’s laying down and yawning a lot. Her cluck sounds a little stuffy too and one of her eyes doesn’t seem to open. It’s not stuck closed (I checked) but it won’t seem to open on its own. I can’t see anything wrong with it though. Does anyone know what’s wrong? What I’ve...

    Muscovy Dance?

    Muscovies are just the funniest ducks aren’t they? Eating the air 😂 so strange. Thanks for your reply!

    Muscovy Dance?

    I definitely think it’s specific to Muscovies. They’re a strange breed!

    Muscovy Dance?

    I have two adult Muscovies. Lately they’ve been doing this little ritual thing where they hiss and puff their mohawks up and lift their heads up like they’re eating rain, opening and closing their beaks. Sometimes there’s a little stomping involved too. It’s mostly the male but the female joins...

    My Love Affair With Ducks...

    This little story almost brought me to tears because of how much I love my ducks. But I’m glad you sent them away for you and for them. They have a nice pond to swim around in now and you have a little bit of peace knowing your girls aren’t being harassed anymore. So good for you. This is a...

    Duckling Breed?

    Right?? I even called and asked if they had recently had Muscovies and they said no. They’re so bad 😂. The lady next to me got like 20 of them so I wonder how that’s going.
