Hi everyone. It’s been a while since I’ve needed to post here. Last week my 4 year old chicken died. Her crop wasn’t impacted. She had a slightly poopy butt no real signs of other illness. Recently, I’ve noticed many of my chickens seem lethargic. They are crouching down. Some of them have poopy...
She’s got a poopy butt and now she’s shaki her head around. Almost like she’s convulsing. Droopy wings and a hard ball on the left side of her chest. Please help.
Hi. I’m hoping someone can help me. My Derby girl hen is sick. I’m not sure if it’s worms, respiratory or egg bound. She has a messy butt. Her comb is bluish and she is sluggish. waddles when she Walks.
She Is a 5 year old sex link mix. She usually lays HUGE eggs. Here are some pics.
This is my girl Bunches. She is 2. Easter egger. This started as a molt. The other day I noticed blood on her neck pin feathers. So I sprayed blue kote. I think the others are picking on her. Should I separate her? Or will it pass? She doesn’t want to be around the flock.
Hi! I have a black sex link that is approximately 2 1/2 years old. I noticed about a month ago her calm got a little droopy and she stopped Lane. More recently I’ve noticed she has lots of feathers that are lost. I introduced new chickens into the flock about four months ago, so I’m assuming...
This girl got attacked by a fox or coyote several weeks ago Ever since, shes had problems with her foot. First it was blisters, 1 round of antibiotics (Tylan) and she got a lot better, but i'm still noticing sores/red spots on her feet and legs. She is also having a difficult time reintegrating...
I recently had a fox attack during the day. It was time to enclose my run. Stick built a frame and topped with steel roof and 1/4" galvanized hardware cloth. At most there's a couple inches between the frame and granite rocks it's built on top of. But I'm nervous it's not enough. Or if I should...
Yesterday I let my chickens out at 6 am and when I returned at noon, 1 was dead on the ground, 1 was missing and 3 others were injured. I have 6 foot fences and this has never happened in the year I've had them free range. What could of gotten them, and the two that are injured- should i separate?
My chickens have a respiratory infection. I've also noticed their feet are turning reddish. It's been cold here lately. I gave them Tylan 50 1/2cc for 5 days. They seem to be better but some of them are still sneezing. What should I do?
I need some help. My Rhode Island red is sick. She is nine months old. For the last couple weeks when she has lifted her foot, she has been trembling. I also noticed that around her ears
turned white. Now she is isolating from the other chickens – they are picking on her, and she is usually a...
I have a five month old potentially bantam Easter egg or mix. Yesterday I just put her and two other new chickens with my older flock. They have been quarantined for two months. They had a respiratory infection when I got them.
Today I noticed that she had yellow, somewhat foamy poop coming...
Does anyone recommend Aureomycin crumbles versus the powder you put in water? My hands have a respiratory infection. I fed them antibiotics for a couple days in their water, then I switched to the crumbles. My older hens seem to be getting better. But my younger rooster and hens is still sneezing.
Can anyone tell me what breed they think this Hen is? The lady told me she was an Easter hugger, but she doesn't look like my other Easter eggers. Looking for new ideas!
Do you guys think this is a rooster or a hand? She was in a pen with another confirmed rooster, he was bullying her frequently. Three new hens, so far two of the three are roosters…
