Hello, I have a 5 year old Rhode Island Red hen who has cancer and water belly. She was drained for the 3rd time 2 days ago. However, after coming home from the vet she’s been sleepy and had a lack of appetite. She barely walks too. (keep in mind she also ate a vets earring during draining and...
My 5 year old Rhode Island Red hen has gained a lot of weight. Over the years, she has always been hyper, friendly, and had a big appetite. We noticed that she has always been a bit bigger than the rest of our hens, but she never seemed like it bothered her. However, a couple of weeks ago we...
Carmen, our 6 month old chicken’s beak is bleeding. She was injured as a baby and has been in a wheelchair. She can already almost walk but because she was injured when she was so young, she has trouble eating, drinking, etc. Basically we have to hand feed her and while doing so, we accidentally...

Carmen is a seven week old chick. She is a white silkie X golden laced wyandotte (wilkie). She somehow hurt her right leg and can’t walk. 2 days ago she was just mildly limping then got progressively worse. She could not stand and laid on her side with her leg out and would cry in pain. Today...
Peru is a year old cochin. Her right eye is closed shut and we don’t know why. Yesterday, we thought it might’ve been a bee sting when her eye was still open and just a little bit puffy. Now her eye’s completely closed so we aren’t so sure anymore. We used a warm, wet cloth to press lightly...
Two of our chickens, (a polish top hat, age 7, and a wyandotte, age 5), have been throwing up clear liquid every now and then. Our polish top hat has been throwing up for around 5 months but we’ve only seen it happen about 10 times. Our wyandotte has been throwing up for around 3 months and...
Hi guys! We have a bit of a concern with one of our baby chicks. Here’s the backstory: We’ve had chickens for 7 years but this is the first time we’ve hatched chicks from home. We have 4 and all of them hatched great and there were no issues. However, the youngest, who is only 2 days apart from...
My chicken, Jupiter, was attacked by a hawk at the neck. There is a very small amount of blood and there isn’t a huge cut. We think she may have passed out due to shock. Is there any way to wake her up, how can I save her???
My jersey giant, Paris, is having trouble breathing. She isn’t gasping for air, but it is visible that she has trouble breathing. Is it ok for her in inhale essential oils? This is what we what to give her:
My chicken was very weak for a while. Today, she couldn’t stand. Then, she became unresponsive. But her neck is standing up and she is not getting stiff. It’s been at least 10 minutes and she’s still not stiff. Does this mean she could still be alive? However, it doesn’t look like she is...
My Buff Orpington is very weak. She has lost a lot of weight and is unable to perch in the chicken coop. We have kept her inside during the nights and gave her medication mixed with food/water (And let her back outside during the day so she was active). However, she isn’t getting better. Do you...
My buff orpington, who is 5 years old, isn’t acting herself. She stopped laying eggs, but we think it’s because she’s old. However, she’s been really sad lately. She was the one who always acted like a male and tried mating with the other hens. It’s common for buff orpingtons do this. However...
Update: it was not her intestines, it was the membrane of the inside of an egg, but it was shaped like her intestines. (I’m not good at explaining things) We took her to the vet and she’s fine now. Thank you for the support
Is it normal for a chicken to lay very small eggs? She is a Dorking chicken. However she is very skinny for her breed. I haven’t opened the egg yet, so I don’t know what’s inside. Here’s a picture of the small egg and her normal egg.
My Rhode Island Red, Penny, has a hole in her chest. I just found her that way a couple of minutes ago. I just gave her a bath and used soap to disinfect the area. Do you know what this is? Is this parasites? Also, what should I put on her wound? Some cream?
My Jersey giant, Paris, has a prolapse. We are giving her a bath at this moment. When she’s out, I will put up pictures. Please give step by step instructions to fix a prolapse.
My baby chick has a red thing on her butt. It isn’t on her butthole though. I think it might be the umbilical cord. Do you know what it is? I just want her to be ok.
My chicken nugget has yellow and black spots at the top of her crest. It looks a lot like frost bite and it probably is. We’ve tried putting Vaseline (petroleum jelly) on her crest. I’m not sure if it’s working or not. In fact, it looks worse. Any ideas on how to cure frost bite? If Vaseline is...
My pet chicken, Laya, was attacked by a small falcon today. The moment she was attacked, I ran outside. When I got there, she was still warm and the falcon flew away. I picked her up and brought her inside. The falcon clawed her by the neck. You can see where it attacked her, but there is no...
