Anyone have any idea? At first it looked like vent gleet but now what looks like a random popped blister?
Not hard. Doesn’t seem to bother her. Doesn’t seem infected… eating and acting totally fine…
I don’t feel an egg and she did lay yesterday. They are in an enclosed area so I can’t imagine anything would be in there… this was a matter of an hour from fine to this…
This sweet girl (1 year 2 months) was fine this morning when I let them out of the coop. Ate fine, seemed and looked totally normal. I came out an hour later to find her laying on the ground panting and pale as can be. She’s quarantined now but so listless and falling over…. I don’t think she’s...
Second time this week I have seen blood in 6 week old chickens. Just moved them to into old adult chickens coop (the adults are in new bigger coop) which was cleaned but maybe not spotless- so wondering if they caught cocci from them? They have never had any o virus signs but not sure what else...
I took another video when I got home from work… I feel like something is wrong… they are all doing this but not as bad and this one was wiping its beak as well…
we have little flies yes but nothing terrible like I don’t see them buzzing around their heads it just seems like they twitch like that quite constant.
Thanks! When I found her this morning she was flat out on her back one wing spread with her legs straight out. I suspected sudden death based off of the position but just so unexpected!
I will try and get a video today when I get home . They are gypsy moth caterpillars or now called spongy moth caterpillars (they just changed the name) they are all over and eat them up very quickly so sadly no way to avoid them as they fall from the trees.
She was literally fine yesterday...
Ugh help! About a week ago we had a chickens attacked by a fox. She was saved and doing fine but until we catch the fox we have them locked in their runs instead of free roaming. Sometime in the week they started shanking their heads like something was bothering them! I though perhaps they have...
We have 16 chickens that free range in 1.5 acres. They did get shut in the run for a couple days because of a dead animal nearby that attracted a many hawks. I wonder if that’s why. No roosters.
So I have several chickens who are losing feathers just
on their heads..
They will be a year in August so I don't think it's molting. I've checked their wings and vent for lice or mites and not seeing anything nor are they losing feathers else where... I did deep clean their coop today and...
New to chicken life, have had these girls for about 4 months they are nearly 18 weeks. Found this poop today when winterizing their coop. Not sure which chicken it is and didn’t find any other instances. No one seems sick and everyone’s eating well..
Could it be intestinal shedding or should I...
