    Hen with curled toe paralysis or Marek's disease. Please advise

    My Red Star hen, Rosie, stopped walking a few days ago. She was stumbling around unable to keep her balance. Since then her feet have become completely paralyzed and curled up into fists. She can't walk or sit up, only shift around now and then. Before I continue, I should mention she has been...

    Hen can't walk or move

    I have a roughly 3/12 or 4 year old hen who has suddenly stopped moving. Two days ago I found her stumbling around in her coop while the others were roosting for the night, looking around as if she couldn't see well and walking into walls and stumbling. Yesterday she acted fine. This morning I...

    Super lethargic, weird poop

    A few days ago I noticed my buff orpington was acting a little slower than usual. She has been getting worse and it looks like she's having weird bathroom troubles. She strains a lot and only a little comes out and it looks "snaky". I don't believe she is eggbound unless the egg might have...

    Bad diarrhea, poopy butt, flecks of blood, hiding in nest box

    I have a hen who has been getting lots of issues lately. First, a few weeks ago, it seemed she had sour crop, but then it went away by itself before I had a chance to treat it. Now suddenly she's unhealthy again. She's been hiding in a nest box all day and this morning it looked like she was...

    Eyes sealed shut, raspy breathing, pale face

    One of my hens has had raspy breathing, a little bit of gasping, and runny manure lately. She was sitting on the lowest roost all day except when she went to eat and drink and then roosted up high at night where she usually did. Today she couldn't fly off the roost and I had to bring her to the...

    Entire flock bullying one hen (and feather plucking?)

    It seems every day with my flock there's a new problem. This one is a really weird case. So recently we had bad snowy weather and I was unable to let the chickens out for a couple days. I didn't realize they were low on food and so a couple mornings in a row they were starving and I had to give...

    Dust bath advice needed

    I've been researching dust baths on here and other places for a while now and there's a lot of conflicting information, so I would like to just confirm if this mixture is okay. My chickens have not been able to go outside for weeks on end because of the constant snow and rain. I got a huge cat...

    Rooster lost his voice

    Might anyone know what's wrong with our rooster? He looks normal and healthy on the outside but lost his voice a week or two ago and now sounds like he has bad laryngitis. He hasn't crowed in a while either. The coop our chickens are in doesn't have good ventilation but we can't afford to...

    Should I open chicken coop window in 2 degree weather?

    I'm having trouble deciding whether or not to open the chicken coop window in this freezing weather. They have a little bit of ventilation in the top of the walls but not nearly as much as there should be, so I usually open their big window. It's not pointing directly at any of them but it is on...

    Hello! I'm new.

    Hi! I'm a young artist who grew up helping my mom raise chickens (we've had several flocks before our current ones) and loves them, but I never thought of getting serious until a couple days ago. My mom unfortunately is unable to take care of the chickens anymore and my father isn't really that...
