    Eggbound? I can feel the egg, but she isn’t trying to lay…

    ***I tried everything I knew to do and she passed away this morning. I’m so sad. I’ve kept chickens for 5 1/2 years and these favorite hens hit so hard when you lose them. I was trying to handle this, but I’ve been trying for almost 24 hours and no movement. I have a 3 yo Buff Orp who seems...

    Growths under vent and EYP?

    My 4 year old Lavender Orpington is likely in her last days, but has been doing well up until yesterday. We attempted to drain on the off chance that she has water belly, but got a thick off white substance. I’m guessing cancer or EYP? Today she’s doing the tail down, hunched stance. Seems to...

    Does this look like cancer?

    This guy is four years old and seemed healthy until recently. My son picked him up and noticed an awful smell. Since his feathers covered this there were no indicators that something was off until he started spurring us(something he’s never done). I’ve tried Tylan 200(I know it’s not ideal for...

    Kinky back?

    Bunny is a 20 month old EE and as she developed it was apparent her frame and posture weren’t normal. She had more of the S-curve/twisted neck appearance and when she’s picked up her nervous system shorts out/she does an odd biting thing. Her feathering is also very different, and she...

    Stumped - clear fluid, ascites?

    I am clueless as to what’s next with this hen! Who - Three year old Golden Buff from Meyer. She’s fed organic layer feed, oats once a week as a treat(very small amount), and leftover veggies as I have them. I’ve learned the hard way to limit treats. What - slightly lethargic, hiding out...

    Is this Easter Egger off and/or an accidental bantam?

    This is our first EE(meet Bunny :) ) and she’s a little different than I expected. She’s 19 weeks and has 8 SLW’s and BO companions that we got at the same time. She keeps up with the other pullets in every way. Doesn’t appear to have any obvious difficulties. My questions: She’s smaller than...

    Severe wry neck in 1 1/2 year old Polish hen?

    We had an issue with mites which were treated two days ago with permethrin/garden dust(topically and in coop, etc.). This hen has me stumped. She presented with general lethargy, but I wasn’t entirely surprised because of the mites. I isolated her with a pullet who was also pale and lethargic...

    Stumped - overheated or injury?

    This is my 14 week old pullet who presented with some lethargy and slight limp last night. She’s fairly alert, but weaker than usual. Eating and drinking without problem. I purchased nine of these pullets from TSC in a bargain bin. All are well except her. I do have her separated in a crate...

    These shredded feathers are throwing me!

    I have six ten week old Lavender Orps and this one is still a bit of a question mark for me. Size, stance, wing structure, and temperament are all similar to the other pullets. I don’t see pointy saddle or hackle feathers, but the shredded feathers are tripping me up. No attempts at crowing yet...

    Switching antibiotics for upper respiratory

    I’m treating a hen for what is likely to be mycoplasma of some sort. She’s got mucus coming from her mouth, nose, swollen eyes, etc. and is extremely lethargic. I’ve been treating with Terramycin scours(25 mg/daily) for five days and it’s not helping that I can tell. No eating and only very...

    Wheezing, slight fever, upper respiratory?

    My 9 month old began molting, stopped laying, and is now sick. She’s wheezingand it does seem to be moving to her chest. She is eating, but not drinking much. I wouldn’t say that she seems incredibly droopy - alert and walking around her “hospital room”(isolated as of yesterday). Poop seems...

    Is this wry neck or neurological damage?

    I have a 9 month old Appenzeller/Polish cross that has been in “ICU” for a full week now. I’m slowly...so slowly...seeing SOME improvements, but should I see more at this stage? She responded to treatment within 24 hours and was doing great, but then crashed and burned. I’m reading that Wry Neck...

    23 weeks, bloody stool

    She’s lethargic, refusing food, and doing the “I don’t feel well” hunch. Coccidia? I’ve been force-feeding and drenching with sovereign silver, yogurt, eggs, Coconut oil, and nutri-drench and thought maybe constipation as she’s squeaking when she poops. I’m fairly new and inexperienced with...

    Crest causing eye damage?

    I have a little Polish/Appenzeller X that seems to have problems because of her crest. The rest of mine are able to be trimmed so they can see, but this young lady’s feathers seem to grow in such a way as to go straight into her eyes. She holds her head funny in an effort to see what she can...

    Hello from West-ish Texas

    Hi, all! Let’s see...I’m a newbie, but I’m learning quickly. I’m a researcher and reader at heart. We have a flock of nine, a slew of human kids, 5 dogs, a Sulcata tortoise, and an extremely bitter cat. So far I have a white crested Polish cockerel, two silver laced polish pullets, three...
