I have a hen that is almost 2 years old and since yesterday she's acted very sick. She seems very weak and can only walk a couple steps. She puffs up her feathers to keep warm. She hasn't gone outside all day and when I put her out she just stood there and closed her eyes. She hasn't eaten...
All of a sudden my 4 year old Border Collie has been farting non-stop. She just started today and won't stop. I don't know what to do. I haven't changed her diet at all but she just won't stop. I'm worried that she might be sick and she farts about every other minute. HELP!
I'm not worried about the other chickens bothering her because she's the boss of the flock. No one would dare mess with her even though she's really sweet. She sleeps on wood shavings like she has her entire life. I don't want to separate her because my hens are very close and get distressed...
I've already posted something on this but I just need to do whatever I can to keep my girl alive. I have a 4 year old hen who hasn't layed for 2 years. Someone said that she probably had enternall laying but I don't think that's it because I've reasoned that she would've died by now. She isn't...
The only thing about the enternall laying is that she hasn't layed for 2 years and if she did have enternall laying then don't you think she would have died by now?
I have a 4 year old hen that has been losing a lot of weight. I haven't noticed her eating, only drinking. Today I let the chickens out and she didn't even touch the pasta I put out for them. The only thing she did was eat the snow and she didn't drink the water. She barely has any energy and...
i have had chickens for five years but i still don't know if i should have any medicine handy for them. the only thing i have is a soluble powder and that was when they had the flu. any must-have medicines out there that i should get?
nearly all of my chickens have very dirty behinds...if you know what i mean. they're covered in poop and i'm sure that's not good for them. i'm not sure how to do it and i don't want to try anything that could make them sick.
i have a sick chicken and i don't know what's wrong with her. she hasn't lost weight and she's eating and drinking fine. her comb is a nice, deep red and her noes isn't runny and her eyes aren't watery. she is having a really hard time balancing herself. today i noticed that she was tipping...
i have a sick, 1 year old Braham and i don't know what's wrong with her. she seems a little inactive and has trouble flying or jumping up onto something. if she tries she usually falls back until the 3rd try. she has stopped laying, but that's just because it's autumn. her poops are pure liquid...
I have a sick chicken and I don't know what to do. She is a Buff Braham and she's 1 year old. I've noticed that she is having trouble balancing herself when she is climbing the steps to her nest and she can't fly up to the nests which are about 3 1/2 feet off the ground. She is also having...
could it be because of internal laying? i posted a question under emrgencies/diseases and i had someone say that 1 of my chickens who is sick could have internal laying. please look at my post and see if you know what's wrong with her. thanks for the replies!
she's molting that's it. their skin does look like it hurts a lot and it does hurt but the feathers will grow back. if she is pulling the feathers out then you could put a warm water and vinegar solution on her so she stops.
I would just like to say it is NOT a good idea to put a heat lamp in a chicken coop at all. If any dust from the ground touches that lamp your whole coop will go up in smoke. Chickens are hardy. They know what to do when it gets cold out. They puff up their bodies and they all sleep together...
No she has not been laying and no I haven't wormed them...ever. None of the other chickens have been laying either but that happens every year right about at this time because it is getting darker earlier and earlier. I will take them off the antibiotice tomorrow. I have not noticed her lose a...

If the little girl is hurt take her emiditely. Pet stores generally don't take good care of their animals and most of the people who work in them don't know what's going on. They probably haven't noticed her problem and if they have they probably don't care. Buy her and 2 companions for her and...
