I have a 14 week old check that I discovered not doing so well about 10 days ago (some of you many have read/responded to my previous post https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1065236/12-week-old-chick-possibly-sick-need-help-please). I still can't say that I know what happened; some suggested...

I've got 88 12 week old chicks, yes I said 88, and today when I went out to the coop/run I noticed that one of them wasn't moving around the way the others were. When I picked it up it appeared to me that she had probably been in that same spot for at least a day or more. Her crop was empty and...

I've got a four week old chick that I'm not sure what happened, found her laying in the brooder a couple of days ago and at first it looked like she might be dead, but she was still breathing. She's smaller than most of the other baby chicks, so next I thought she might have been trampled, still...

I lost a nearly 3 week old chick today and am having a little difficulty positively identifying which breed is was. Can anyone help me identify which this poor girl was? Thank You Troy

I know eye injuries have been discussed many times before and I've read through many of the posts, but most don't seem to be close enough to the same thing my chicken has for me to be certain of how to proceed and if I shouldn't be doing something more. I returned from out of town 5 nights ago...

As some of you know, I lost a chicken on Tuesday Aug 6th after discovering her obviously wheezing on Saturday Aug 3rd. The chicken had no other symptoms other than the wheezing (which at times seemed to get a bit better); she even seemed to be eating and drinking until the last two days (though...

For those that may have a chicken injured with a severe cut and not know what to do, I thought I'd share the following. About a week ago I came home after having been out of town for a month (I'm in the Navy and was overseas). I was only home for 1 day and on the evening before I was leaving...

I've got a 7 month old Rhode Island White hen that I noticed wheezing last night. I do not see any sign of discharge from the eyes or nostrils. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding how I should proceed? I've read posts that suggest respiratory infection, worms or even something caught...

I went out to let the chickens out for the day and found one of my 6 month old New Hampshire Reds dead on the ground. I've got approx 35 chickens and 4 ducks. 7 of the chickens and the 4 ducks are about 1 year old, 15 of the chickens are 6 months old and 13 of them are 5 months old. All the...

I'm starting a new thread regarding my 4 month old Rhode Island White as I think the first may have lead things down the wrong path. I have 39 chickens, 13 that are 4 months old, 26 that are older. I combined the flocks about a week ago. They were in an area where they could see each other...

I've got a flock of 39 chickens, 7 which are over a year old (bought from hatchery), 19 which are 5 1/2 or so months old (also hatchery bought) and 13 which are 4 months old (incubated/hatched by me). I made the mistake of not immunizing them or feeding them medicated starter and I have...

I've got a total of 44 Chickens: 7 of them are about a year old and I bought from a nursery; 23 are are 11 weeks old and also bought from a nursery; 14 are 5 weeks old and I hatched them myself. I have not fed the ones I hatch medicated for, nor did I vaccinate them (I know, should have fed...

I've got 7 chickens and 4 ducks, the chickens range from 8 to 16 weeks in age and the ducks are all 4 weeks old (2 Rouens and 2 Pekins, 1 male and 1 female od each). The male Pekin took an early lead in growth and gaining weight compared to the others and quickly started to become pigeon toed...
