Hi its me again, your worried chicken mom :plbb and so I have a question/concern about my hen.
Her wings are super high up. usually her wings are in their normal position but when i checked on her tonight, her wings where almost up to her neck! and yes they where tucked in.
whats happening and...
I'm not so sure then. It could possibly be serious. Maybe do some research? It could be leg paralysis if she isn't showing any other signs of illness (i had to search that up) but i am no expert. I would say to just wait for someone else to come by this thread (someone more experienced ) but im...
chicks tend to suddenly lay on their sides randomly although i am not expert. if she is breathing fine (no wheezing/rasping/breathing with her mouth open/panting) then she could just be taking a nap. chicks do it quite often but if it is not common among your flock i am not so sure what could be...
Is she showing any symptoms like: sneezing, coughing, foamy/swollen eyes, acting lethargic or standing in one place for an eternity? Because if she is she could be sick.
Ooh thank you guys!
" If she is eating well, drinking well, breathing ok, eyes and nose clear (no discharge) " yes shes doing all that and is showing no signs of illness.
And here’s the new coop, still deciding what to put under it. We can’t keep her outside because we have many wild animals so we usually keep her inside.
Here are some pics btw sorry for the blurry ness she wouldn’t stay still also her nostrils are like curved in so she doesnt have any mucus although it looks like she does
I have already bought another coop so that problem is already solved.
however if there is actually a serious problem, how am i supposed to deal with it? I have no medicine and no vets. What can I do? @Isaac 0
she sneezes probably around more than 10 times a day, for the feed i'm not so sure, i only have one hen-, i cant really post pictures but i'll admit her setup isn't the cleanest and we will be moving her very soon into a bigger coop.
i got her from a farm, they where selling chickens so i got...
Besides the sneezing, is the hen exhibiting any other symptoms, such as watery/swollen eyes, nasal discharge, lethargy, etc? no she doesnt have any of these and it started happening quite a long time ago, maybe around 3-4 months ago?
i dont know if i can catch a video of her sneezing but...
My chicken is eating fine and shows no symptoms of illness however she's sneezing quite a lot. she also does this thing where she shakes her head and her feathers spread out and she turns all puffy. Is she okay?
