    Best Isolation/Retirement Home Coops?

    Hi, We have a 3.5 year old Isa Brown who has slowed down and lost weight. She is bullied and spends most of her time in the nesting box. We did section off a little spot for her in our chicken run but we decided we should just get her her own space where she won't be afraid to leave the box...

    Broody behavior in older Isa Brown?

    Hi everyone, This isn't really an emergency but I didn't know where else to ask this. We have a going-on-4 year old Isa Brown (we did not realize how many reproductive issues the Isas had when we originally bought them, but I guess they tend to have a lower life span). She is really slowing...

    Do chickens pass from natural causes (old age)?

    There wasn’t a lot of info on the webs about this, mostly about sudden chicken death syndrome. We have an Isa Brown (3.5 years old) who has been on and off low activity, but today was probably her worst day. It got cold this week (~20 degrees) and windy so that’s probably not helping matters...

    What type of respiratory infection and how to treat?

    Hi, Our ~2.5 year old blue plymouth rock has developed rales but doesn't seem to have any other symptoms yet (pic attached of her, though I don't think it shows much).

    Very severe sour crop PLEASE HELP

    Hi, Our chicken had a bad case of sour crop a month ago but we managed to fix it with a good Epsom salt flush. The last week especially last night/today, she has gotten very very sick and her crop this morning was giant. We've tried Epsom salts all week, and last night we were pretty convinced...

    Egg bound or egg yolk peritonitis?

    Hello, Last year we sadly had a chicken pass from egg yolk peritonitis. We currently have a chicken who is in the run just squatting and sleeping. She won't eat much or drink. She's not in the penguin stance and doesn't have labored breathing and she has a sort of lump on her chest. We think...

    Septic Chicken Egg Yolk Peritonitis

    Hi everyone, We sadly have a septic chicken who has egg yolk peritonitis. We took her to see an avian vet earlier this week, who pulled 300mL of fluid from her abdominal cavity and gave us 14 days worth of antibiotics/anti inflammatory meds. We've been trying to keep her out of the heat (been...

    Some odd behavioral changes - possibly egg bound?

    Hi everyone, we have a chicken who is 2 years old and has lost a lot of tail feathers recently, and in the last two weeks, has become on-and-off lethargic and low activity. She used to be very active, feisty, and always chasing food, but now she has seemed to lost interest. Her back feathers...
