My pullet should have turned old and egg giving by now. She is 8 months old. Her other friends have grown up and started laying eggs yet she is still underweight and small compared to them.
Recently i noticed a big difference between their sizes.
She is stinky, a bit lethargic , smelly and...
My pigeon is eating well and behaving normally just a bit more lethargic than usual. But just her droppings are like this. Sometimes they get normal but its the fourth day ive noticed his abnormal droppings. Any idea?
Today was really watery too.
I gave her some apples to eat because my...
My hen is behaving a bit lethargic. She has lice and for that I will treat the whole flock today, dusting them with lice killing powder and a mixture of soil.
Her nose is releasing some kind of a liquid, a bit stinky one. Her droppings look okay to me and she is eating fine.
I noticed the...
My 4 month old chicks can’t walk! They have weak legs and can’t even sit on them.
Our 2 old hens had this issue. I gave them vitamin B complex and zinc and fed them egg yolks and they were good to go the next day.
But these two are really sick. They get better after i give them the vitamins and...
My chick around 2 months is acting lethargic. A few days ago my 5 month chick died which i think is due to coccidiosis. I started the adult hens and the rest of 5 months old treatment. But haven’t treated these 2 months old yet.
Should I treat them for coccidiosis as well? @Eggcessive
My 5 month old hen has lesions on her legs. She has been sitting a lot and she is keeping one of her eyes closed all the time.
My flock has coccidiosis so I’m starting treatment for them tomorrow. Ive already lost a weak chick to it yesterday.
And a few of my hens have been having difficulty...
I had 4 hens 1 roo.
They got attacked by weasels this morning. Two of them died.
Donut got half eaten by weasels babies. Her neck was bare and head was pale.
Lorpi didn't get eaten, but her head was missing.
We are going to cull the other 3 today.
We started with a flock of 10. Only 2 hens...
Lorpi is nearly 2 years old.
She lost her best buddy Astro today. I showed her her dead body and she seemed to look at it and move around it for a minute or two. After that she went into her coop and stayed there, with her feathers fluffed up.
I'm worried she may get under a lot of stress and...
Astro was nearly 2 years old.
She hadn't been laying eggs for many months. She was internally laying. She had near death experiences back in October 2021 and March 2022. She was such a strong girl who came back alive twice 💪
Just this morning I thought to myself “Wow, Astro looks to healthy and...
Hello everybody! I'm Fatima from Pakistan. Im going to another country's high school to study for 9 months!
As much as I am excited for my upcoming journey after a month, I'm really afraid for my flock...
I have a flock of 5 hens, 1 roo.
2 pigeons
2 doves.
And I'm their caretaker. They are all...
My hen is laying but she has this big hard abdomen. Her vent also looks plump. She lays big eggs so is often screaming... she lays once every 3-4 days. She has diarrhea but it is due to extreme hot temperature.
I've lost 1 hen to ascites, 1 to EYP and another to ovarian cancer. All from the...
My hen has been really sick a lot of time. She will turn 2 in a few months. She got impacted crop back in September and barely came out alive. She hasn't been laying eggs and her abdomen is really big. It not hard, but watery and squishy. My flock got infectious bronchitis when they were young...
My Australorp hen, Bubu, will turn 2 on March 31st. She was a good layer but I've noticed she hasn't given an egg for a week or two now (this is the time spam I've started noticing her. She may have stopped laying for a time longer than this.) This scares me because I've lost 3 hens to...
This thought has always occured to me when I compare these 3 types.
“Which bird is the most agile and likely to survive the longest without many health issues?”
As a pet chicken owner from April 2020, I've lost 2 chicks which were eaten by a weasel. 2 chicks which had died one day after...
I just adopted 2 female pigeons. One has her tail cut off and they both are looking a tad lethargic. I've given them food and water but they were preening or itching themselves. Now they are both sleeping without even drinking water. They both look sick to me. This is droppings from one of them...
My Australorp hen has a really bad diarrhea. The intensity of it goes up and down. I've dewormed her but it made no affect. Feathers around her vent are all worn out even though she just grew out a really new, beautiful layer of them. Her diarrhea has no blood. Just water with some droppings...
My 1 and a half year old Australorp has been a suspect of EYP for quite some time now. The last known egg she gave was back in July of 2021. After that I don't know when she stopped laying. Nearly every day, she goes to the egg box, makes a ruckus and comes back out. She acts as though she has...
My supposedly fantail hen just air humped my shoulder while my supposedly rooster was on my lap.
I got them back at the end of June 2021 and even after all this time I still am confused about their genders. I've only seen the hen preen the rooster for a few days after I got them. After that...
My Australorp hen has this scab right below her breast bone. I checked my other hens and a few of them also have similar kinds of scabs. Their bare skin is also somewhat flaky. Her skin looked red and irritated, but isn't that because of the exposure to sun?
My 1 and a half year old Australorp is a little bit lethargic. She is not as interested in food and her surroundings as she was before. She has been excreting extremely weird and milky/ yogurt-y droppings. More on the yogurt side. Her vent is also a bit dirty. She has been drinking a lot of...
