everyone please help. My 5yo hen was in the hall away from the kitchen where my mom put the food on the stove before going out. I was on the above floor. After a hour and half my mom called me to check if she'd turned it off and I went down and there were fumes everywhere which even damaged my...
For some context, my blind hen (5.5 yrs) mostly stays indoors in this wide room without a door which also has an adjoined bathroom. Today some people came to clean said bathroom and used industrial cleaners. I thought they came to fix the pipe so wasn't worried and thought my mother would take...
My hen ( blind since birth, 5yo) has been acting weird the last couple of days. When bright light is on she shuts her left eye and shields it and only opens it again when it's switched to a cooler light. (She's never done this before)
her left eye looks fine most of the time. But sometimes...
My 4yo hen is blind. When I was giving it water as I usually do ( by pressing a cup to her side or leaving the cup next to her) she sneezed while her head was in the water and got more water back up. Now I've removed the water but she's constantly making the 'drinking water' motion even though...
My 4yo hen molted on May, (and before that, on December). Only around her neck and head area I think but now she's moulting again but it's too early to tell from where. Is this normal? She hasnt laid any eggs recently and Summer is slowly ending now too if its because of the weather or is it...
Her beak was overgrown. My mother let me cut it for the first time, and I cut way into the quick. Red dots were starting to form and I applied cornstarch immediately. There's no bleeding but the red is still there.
She hasn't touched her food but drank water and is now sleeping. Anything I...
We brought a new packet, sealed of food 2 weeks back, and today after opening it, found that the inside is full of these brown? Small bugs. Are they safe to eat
I've seen them before but thought it came from the house and feasted on the food not that it came from the food itself. There were...
My hen is an indoors one with a fan in her room yet she continuously pants. It's 104 f here inside and 106 f outside. She only stops when it becomes cooler in night. How do I keep her cool in the morning?
My 3yo hen is molting again it seems? She molted last December. But now all her (small feathers mostly) neck feathers are falling out. She's fine apart from that and it is very hot here if that has anything to do with it.
I can see feather base sticks on her neck which I think are the new...
My 3yo hen has been losing her feathers. It's summer so it can't be a moult can it? She already molted on December.
It's very hot 95 F around here but my hen (blind) is an indoors hen with a fan on high speed next to her ( she somehow still gets hot otherwise) so it cant be the weather.
It's...
Is toilet paper fine too? I heard that the tissues contain chemicals which would be harmful. She eats wet mash food so don't want it to get rotten.
Better safe than sorry ig.
My 3 yo mixed breed bantam hen made the noises she does when she's gonna lay and started panting and went to the corner for like 20 minutes, and finally, ig she thought she laid an egg and cheerfully started eating and drinking.
What happened to the egg? Is she egg bound or an internal layer or...
I just clean with plain water every day or so and rub it with a paper towel. Is that enough or should I use some dish soap to prevent bacteria from forming?
My hen is blind so she lives in a cage which looks like this, without the bottom door. At 4 pm, she randomly jumps up and sits/perches on the top. Sometimes she misses and she hits the inner cage hard and tries again and again till she succeeds.
Today she hit her head multiple times before...
Past two days, my 3-nearly 4 yo bantam wasn't eating but drinking lots of water and even laid an egg
Today, she isn't eating, Drinking or active but fully sleeping. She wakes up if you disturb her or bring her outside.
Im gonna take her to a normal bird vet in a couple hours. Not pooping much...
She had an overbite which curled a lot, so we trimmed it a little 4 days back. She still has an overbite but not as much as before. We didn't touch her quick at all. I did notice some pink/red clot below her upper beak but nothing else.
Then today, while drinking water, she started bleeding...
She's blind so she occasionally pecks the air but all of a sudden today she's constantly pecking herself, the air, and eating the hays on the ground like she's gone crazy. Drinking lots of water but not eating much. She has an overgrown beak too
My 3 year old bantam hen is easily twisting her bottom wing feathers if she flaps too hard or flies, so that they're the other way around. She fixes it with a little shake but it happens so often I wonder if there's something wrong.
Is this something to worry about?
