Not sure if there's anything I should be doing about this. I noticed one if my Rhode Island reds was unusually lethargic yesterday. Separated her from the rest of the flock. I'm not sure what's wrong. The only other thing I noticed is her stool changed from whatever normal chicken poop looks...

Good day, I've run into a problem with my flock. I've got a mixture of white leghorns, plymouth barred rocks, delawares, and rhoade island reds, all under 1 year old but definitely of egg laying age. Prior to this past monday they had been laying very well and very regularly, about 12 eggs...

As a counterpoint to some of the negative expetiences, I ordered 32 chicks in March, 16 white leghorns, 16 Cornish cross, and 6 Plymouth barred rock. Also 8 pekin ducks. Got 2 extra Cornish I believe, maybe 3. Packed well, shipped on time, no deaths on arrival. One died the 2nd day, I...

An update: I had been giving the ducks water from a rain barrel. I went to scoop some water out of the barrel yesterday and discovered it was literally swarming with some kind of organism. 4-5mm black, highly motile, swimming helminths I believe. Probably a flatworm, probably a fluke. Non...

I appreciate everyone's input into this problem. I made the difficult decision to cull the duckling. Whatever it had seemed syndromic and probably not something I can treat. My differential at this point is a congenital problem vs an overwhelming parasitic infection. The duckling appeared...

I figured as much, just wanted to consult with others first. What do you think is wrong?

Here is a video. If you need more let me know. Should show stool also. I work at a large hospital and if I can't get an answer here, I'm going to take a stool sample in and makes slide and see if I can appreciate any ooycysts on microscopic exam.

Absolutely, later tonight when I get home

Thanks for the reply. I didn't start niacin supplementation until after it became symptomatic so I don't think that's it. Since starting the supplementation it hasn't gotten any better or worse. Could be wrong though and I appreciate you reaching out

Ive got a 4-5 week old pekin duck thats had a problem for 2 weeks or so. I am unsure what's wrong. I have 6 other ducks and the sick one is noticeably smaller. It's hunched over all the time, will frequently rock flack and forth, seems to be unable to stand up straight. It's feathers don't...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Always have had ambitions to farm, graduating from school this year and decided to reward myself for my birthday in February by getting started with chickens. Have 16 leghorns, 6 barred rock and had 16 Cornish rock cross. Also...
