    Lost balance

    I have a hen who’s about 5 years old. She was off her perch this morning and she can’t walk. She keeps falling to both sides, like she can’t keep balance when’s she stands or walks. Stroke? Any advice? She seems healthy otherwise. Thank you for any advice you can give

    Wheezing? Making bawk sounds every breath

    My girl woke up with a respiratory thing. She makes sounds with every breath. Little rattling and weezing. Could she have swallowed something wrong or something stuck? I have vetrx but don’t know if I should use it or that to do. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    Candlelit egg. Fertile?

    So I found my girl laying on about five eggs and if the fertile I don’t really want to get rid of them all of them have kind of a darkness to him compared to the non-fertile egg that I got fresh. But this one egg I have a picture of has a kind of dark shadow in it that was moving around in the...

    Worms!

    This morning I happened to see my hen poop thankfully, because I saw a few small, white worms wiggleing deeper into the poop. It’s about 20 degrees here so probably to escape the cold. I dug through it but I couldn’t find them when they weren’t moving. She’s been acting fine and I haven’t seen...

    What’s wrong with her beak?

    There was a slight dented line about a year ago and it has gotten bigger and now there is grey... hard stuff in her nostrils. Is this always there and we can just see it now. Is this all due to age? She will be 11 this July. No significant injuries to her head. Survived 3 fly strikes in the past...

    Odd behavior. Seizures? Something else?

    Background info So I got this Silkie rooster summer of 2020 from a farm who wanted to get rid of him because he was attacking the other hens and people. He’s almost 2 years old. He is kinda an ass... we have another rooster that the hens would run to when the silkie wasn’t treating them right...

    Heating coop

    So I live in upstate NY and we get cold nights in the winter. Like below 0. So I always heat the coop on cold nights. Even then our bantam roster with huge wattles and a comb gets purple on top. I put Vaseline on sometimes to protect him. He hates it. Anyway.... I’m insulting it his fall but I...

    Chicken’s eye swollen shut!

    So my hen has had a runny nose just on the left side for a little less than a month. Today I went to open the coop and she was off the perch with her eye like this. (Left side too) She is acting well but isn’t eating as much as usually. I imagine it hurts! We have a new rooster who is kinda...

    Hen with runny and dead smelling nose

    Yeah. It doesn’t sound good but she is actually acting 100% herself. Can’t say normal because she has never been normal. I swear she has a screw loose. Anyway. She was acting tired about a week ago but nothing bad. Just taking a few more day naps than usual. Then she returned to her normal...

    Chick yells when poops

    One of my chicks makes a sound out of pain when poops. The poops look completely normal. They aren’t watery. The place where I got them from had a lot of them with clumps of poop stuck to they’re butt. They weren’t taking care of that. I’m wondering if it’s just raw? It looks like there is a...

    Leg problems!!!

    Pekin drake about 4 years old!!! I’m sure no one is shocked that’s he’s having leg problems. Our female is too. She limps and has her legs close together so she steps on her own feet. But the drake is my first priority because he is so bad! It started in spring and has just gotten worse until...

    Lash egg treatment

    Here I go again. My third chicken with lash egg. The last two lived for a good 6 months but I know she won’t have as long as she should anymore. Thats the last time I get ISA Browns. 😞 The last time I used an antibiotic. I think it was Baytril? I am having trouble finding an appropriate...

    Hen getting picked

    Soo got this hen as a pullet. She has always been skiddish and always acts like the world is coming to an end. As a pullet I introduced her to the adult hens and the first thing she did was run straight up to them and aggressively pecked their ankles.. that’s how she got the name Talus. As an...

    Duck crossing legs when walking.

    I have a pekin drake that is 3 years old. Within the last month he started limping and now his legs cross when he walks. He is not walking much now. Any suggestions? Everyone else is well.

    What breed is the healthiest? And loves Ticks?

    I’m sure all chickens love ticks though. So my grandparents want chickens for tick control. They live near a busy road and they are worried about that too. They have a large yard but still worry they will prefer the road. Any advice or opinions on chickens and roads? Also I was wondering about...

    Lash eggs. Is this contagious?

    I have a hen who has had runny green poop for about a week. She has been drinking a lot! But she isn’t eating much. I found 2 small (about the size of a jellybean and the other about twice that size) lash eggs in her pen this morning. I had one hen with the same poops and lash eggs. Antibiotics...

    Lash egg and green poop

    I found two lash eggs about a month ago. My vet thought it was just from our older hen not digesting well. A couple days ago my hen who was born in the spring was acting tired and wouldn’t eat. I made a previous post about both of these. She is eating and drinking and acting fine but I found...
