    Older Chicken Problems

    Hello, I have a chicken that is at least 6-8 years old that is having some unusual behavior. She had lived her life perfectly and has not had any issues until now and I want to make sure it stays that way. Recently I have noticed her foot has swelled up quite a bit and has not been walking...

    Slightly Swollen eye

    One of my chickens eye appears to be mildly swollen. She is acting a little slower but I think she is still drinking and eating. There is nothing coming out of her nose or anything like that. Is it just an infection? What should I put on it?

    Rooster acting sick

    I have never dewormed any of my birds I have never had an issue before. The weather has been terrible the last couple days. He has still been crowing and being vocal but still not roosting or going outside. Maybe he doesn’t like the bad weather or maybe I am just overreacting.

    Rooster acting sick

    He went out in the pen today but didn’t come back in the coop at night. I put him back in the coop as it was cold out. I am pretty worried now. I have a really bad feeling about him. I don’t know what’s wrong and I want to know. I have never seen him act like this in previous years at least for...

    Rooster acting sick

    I gave him a look over today. He’s kind of a fighter but his feet look normal. I didn’t see any type of lice/mice but it was hard to get a look. I saw him eating today and was crowing again this morning. I am pretty sure he is molting but hasn’t grown the feathers back yet.

    Rooster acting sick

    He started to crow again today. I couldn’t get a picture of his feet or legs but he seems to walk around alright. I attached a picture of his comb and droppings. One thing I have noticed is that he is flicking his head around quite a bit when ever he moves it.

He wont leave the coop, is acting lazy hasn’t crowed in a few days, and won’t go up on the roost at night like he used to. His droppings seem normal and I saw him eating and drinking yesterday. The only...

    Are these worms?

    Thanks for the reply! I thought they were worms and I was worried. How often do they do this? I have never seen it before.

    Are these worms?

    I found some chicken waste today and when I took a closer look there appeared to be worms in it. They were not moving. I have never had this problem before. If they are worms what type are they and what can I do?

    What was the cause of the death?

    We feed them this: Link I am not sure why its that much on that website. For treats, (which we don't give that often) we will give them table scraps. I can't think of anything they could get into. We do have a compost pile but, there's usually not that much in it except dirty shavings from...

    What was the cause of the death?

    I came outside today and found one of my hens dead. They are free range and about 3 years old. I don't remember the breed. About a week ago was puffed up and not moving much and her waste was a liquidly green. After a while she got better and was even going on the roost with the other hens...

    Is this an impacted egg?

    For anyone who was looking at this thread she didn't make it. I moved her downstairs to a spot that I had set up for her and this morning she was barely moving. This afternoon I found her dead. I feel like I failed her. I wish I could have done more or knew what to do. Thank you for your help.

    Is this an impacted egg?

    I saw her eating this morning before she went out side of the coop. I don't know if she went inside again to eat at all. I am thinking of separating her and putting somewhere else when I can monitor her better.

    Is this an impacted egg?

    I have checked for an impacted egg and did not feel any egg. Her crop was empty at night. I did not notice any abnormal swelling in her abdomen. Thanks for the reply!

    Is this an impacted egg?

    A few days ago I noticed one of my hens was acting different. She was standing almost straight up and not moving much. She is still eating and will come out of standing like that for food. Her waste is liquidity but other wise looks normal. She hasn’t jumped up on the roost with the other hens...

    Is this frostbite?

    Sorry for the low quality picture, it was night when this was taken. I don’t have anywhere else to put the water right now but if it is a problem I can see if I can move it somewhere else.

    Is this frostbite?

    Thank you for your reply I will not touch it. I keep a heated 3 or 4 gallon water container. The coop is 8x8 and is home to 4 hens and the rooster that is pictured. As for ventilation there is a window which is closed and a vent at the very top. Also there is a chicken size door that I leave open.

    Is this frostbite?

    It has been cold recently and I have noticed this on my roosters comb and I am unsure weather or not it is frost bite. If it is frostbite is there any thing I can do for him? Also would it ever return to looking normal? His waddle doesn’t have anything on it. I also so noticed something like...
