    Hen with Extreme Stress and Anxiety when Picked Up

    Hi! Her symptoms include sneezing and heavy breathing. Some days she does fine, and other days she's breathing with her mouth opening and closing. Her comb is noticeably darker than my other hen, who is the same breed as her. Not exactly purple, but looked concerning to me. Thankfully, she...

    Hen with Extreme Stress and Anxiety when Picked Up

    It's not actually very hot during the summer where I live, highest usually being around ~75. Heat isnt much of a concern, but I'll definitely keep that in mind! I've been trying to give her the medication at night which is for sure a little easier at least, so thank you for that. I'm just afraid...

    Hen with Extreme Stress and Anxiety when Picked Up

    It's less effective if I dont apply the medicine directly to her beak/comb. And thank you for the tip! Recently I've been trying to do it at night, but she's still a bit jumpy. i can still get the job done though! Thanks!

    Hen with Extreme Stress and Anxiety when Picked Up

    Hi! One of my hens is currently experiencing some respiratory issues and I have been giving her VetRx to help. Whenever I pick her up to apply it, her body completely freezes and she begins heaving and panting like crazy. I don't pick her up aggressively or snatch her, it usually takes a bit of...

    Bald Spot on Hen after Attack

    I dont have a picture at this moment but tomorrow I will be giving her a bath so I will show you a picture then :) The wounds have healed, but I do not see any visible growth on the spot itself. I only have 3 other hens who play with her who are very nice and gentle to her, so I dont suspect...

    Crooked/Swollen Toe?

    The underside of the toe/foot look completely fine and look healthy. Is there anything extra I can do to help her or should I just leave her toe like that?

    Bald Spot on Hen after Attack

    One of my hens has had a bald spot on her butt for a while now from an animal attack a while ago. Back then I had assumed the feathers would grow out, but now it still looks the same. If anything, it seems to be more irritated. Is there any way to treat bald spots on chickens to encourage...

    Crooked/Swollen Toe?

    Hi, sorry for the super duper late reply. No, she doesn't have much flexibility. She's had it for months and only now do i see she's developing a limp and she is walking very uncomfortably. She can still walk, but it worries me because she looks very uncomfortable. Is there anything I can do...

    EMERGENCY - Traumatized Hen???

    Do you have any advice for bathing chickens, especially if they're jumpy? My hen actually has a bald spot on her bum because of an attack last year. How should I approach washing the area?

    EMERGENCY - Traumatized Hen???

    Turns out I was overreacting. She is doing completely fine today and her crop was normal. Thank you so much for the advice! And no, i didn't fully get the poop off, but I did get most of it. I think I'll try again in a few days.

    EMERGENCY - Traumatized Hen???

    Today I attempted to rinse my hen's bum as it was caked with poop and very much in need of a bath. I put her in a tub and asked my friend to help lift her up a bit so i could see her bum and properly rinse it, but as my friend was holding her, she began to aggressively gag and breathe heavily...

    Crooked/Swollen Toe?

    My hen's foot has been looking like this recently and I'm not sure how it happened. Is it sprained or broken? How should I help her? She doesn't seem to be super visibly uncomfortable about it but she does run a little weird. Any advice?

    What Breed is my Chicken?

    It's crazy how long I've had this girl but never knew what breed she was. I never knew where my mom got her from or the person who sold it to her long ago even told her. But she's my baby and I'm really curious to know what breed she is! Can anyone help me out?

    Very Sleepy and Un-energetic Chicken

    I think the sleepiness has been going on for ~1.5 weeks. I don't think she has been really laying eggs. She isn't eating or drinking... I had to feed her some yogurt as from some research I figured it was a good way to give her probiotics. Her poop on the other hand was cleaned by my grandpa an...

    Very Sleepy and Un-energetic Chicken

    I have never really encountered any symptoms of diseases or sickness from my chickens as I only have three and they are my first flock. Recently, my hen has been very drowsy and inactive. Her symptoms include yellow-ish diarrhea, lots of napping, and just not moving around very much. She's just...
