    Coccidia

    My hen Beryl was diagnosed with possible egg peritonisis - she has fluid in her tummy but was eating normally. She was given antibiotics - Amoxyclav. Then the vet rang to say she had coccidia in her faeces sample, although she has no symptoms of coccidosis. So she gave me Baycox. I didn't give...

    Hens getting sick, losing appetites and dying - wormer ineffective - management of worm damage

    Hi everyone, I lost two hens to the same symptoms, then two more got sick. They would look listless then gradually deteriorate until they were not eating. I was regularly worming using the usual poultry brands which you add to water. I made a mash with the correct amount of wormer mixed in...

    Vomiting hen on antibiotics

    Hello, I have a hen, Betty who is sick. She started off just seeming a bit depressed, and then one day she stopped eating and looked very droopy. I lost another hen about a month before, with similar symptoms, so I decided to take Betty to the vet. She started vomiting quite large amounts of...

    sleeping a lot, pale comb

    Hi everyone, My 1 year old hen is sleeping a lot, and has been for almost a week. I thought she might be broody but she is not doing the fluffed up feathers and the broody sounds. She sits away from the others under shelter looking miserable. Today I noticed that she has liquidy greenish poo...

    New Mum's vibrating tongue!

    I just gave some day old chicks to my broody hen. Initially she was scared and ran away to be with the other hens, so I shut her out and shut the babies in. After a while she seemed to want to go back inside and this time she accepted the babies. When she had pushed them under her, she did a...

    One droopy wing, trouble balancing and legs seem weak

    One of my friend's pullets has one droopy wing, trouble balancing and her legs seem weak - she sits down a lot and doesn't straighten them. Her tail is a bit droopy. She has no other symptoms and is eating fine. She has been like this for about 2 weeks I think. None of the other pullets have any...

    Eye condition

    Hello chicken experts. Does anybody know what this is? It appeared recently by Glady's eye. I posted before about Gladys being listless in the mornings, and stopped laying. However she did randomly lay an egg the other day! Could the eye thing be related? Thanks.

    Dopey and listless in the mornings and has stopped laying

    One of my one year old New Hampshire x leghorns has looked sick on several occasions, always in the morning. She won't eat or drink, doesn't want to move, open beak, droopy tail. She has stopped laying. The symptoms are not every morning, and clear up in a few hours. The hens recently had mites...

    Introducing young hens to a flock

    I am trying to introduce 2 20 week old pullets to my 3 one-year-old hens. I got a new coop and put it in the enclosure with the old coop where the older hens sleep. I shut the pullets in the new coop for a few days. When I first let them out, the older hens were originally distracted with...

    Picky eaters

    I feed a scratch grain blend to my laying hens, but they only eat the black seeds, which I think are sunflower seeds. Everything else they don't touch. This seems very wasteful to me. I have tried leaving them for a day with the rejected seeds and pellets but they still won't eat them. If I fed...
