my almost 3 month cockerel hasnt been moving much.. he is eating and drinking yet just sits under the chair. he can walk well if i lure him with a treat, or if a bigger chicken scares him away, or if he just wants to. but most of the time, he would just stand under the chair. i have seen him...
my hen, which i bought at adult age about a year ago, has not been moving, and is reluctant to get out of the coop. the goose had escaped their area and went to the chickens, i caught one of the goose pecking and eating her tail feathers, she still has a good amount but not many. she didnt move...

my 7 week cochin had been wheezing, breathing heavily, and sneezing. one of my hens has wrinkly eggs (implying she is a recovered bird from respiratory disease). do you think he may have caught it from her? the other chickens in the flock have been doing well with no signs of infection. i am...
My 3/4 week old white sussex chick has been shaking her head ALOT. she doesnt seem it do it at all when she is awake and eating and drinking, however, when relaxed and trying to sleep, she shakes her head NONSTOP. i wonder what the cause is... her droppings are normal and her behaviour is fine...

My 7 week rooster has been experiencing a raspy voice! He has been eating and drinking fine and there is nothing strange about behaviour. He obviously hasn’t crowed yet so he isnt overworking his voice. Sometimes it seems he is rolling his tongue like ‘kurrrrr’. I am worried it is gapeworm...
Two of my chicks (7 weeks) have caught a nasty illness where they are sneezing and wheezing regularly! I don’t know which problem it is but i know its bad news. They have been isolated with ACV in their water. Please help me! The wheezing is getting bad! I’ve tried olive oil and bread but...
My 7 week cochin chick has been wheezing and sneezing quite regularly! When he clucks, it sounds very raspy. He has not lost his appetite and he isn’t acting strangely behaviour wise. I’m afraid he might have passed on the illness to my 7 week silkie (who is sneezing). I have given them some...
I recently bought a 3 week old white sussex chick. When I first got her, I immediately put her in the brooder. note: she is on her own. Whenever I go somewhere, she starts yelping really loudly and then when I come back, she stops. Sometimes I get worried she is dying because of her loud chirps...
My 3 week old chick had her eyelid pecked at by the others. its not normal for them to peck but it happens occasionally. her other eye is fine and she can open the injured eye sometimes (not much). can anyone recommend any eye cleanser that ships to the uk? or what to do?
My 4/5 week cochin has been sneezing on a regular basis and sometimes breathing with his mouth open. He has no discharge but sneezes with mucus, or some sort of liquid. I am quite worried as it might be a sign of respiratory infection. Any advice?
My rooster has been crowing very weakly and has lost weight. Any suggestions? I’m very worried as he looks fine, chasing hens as usual. He squawks as normal though.
My chicks have been sneezing and shaking their heads, its kind of like a tick. I looked this up and it could be respiratory problems. However, google is renown for exaggerating things. Is this normal? Or do i need to take them to a vey?
