Earlier one if my hens was acting sort of sleepy. She is usually a little jerk & tries to attack me (to the extent of spurring me) or "shuffles" around me. I thought it was odd that she wasn't being rude, instead she came & sat on the arm of my chair.
A bit later she moved to a tree they all...
Hello All -
One of my Americuana’s has a bit of a runny vent and recently has an orangish poo (picture below). I read that it is most likely food or her intestine lining shedding - which seems both are ok.
I was just hoping to get a gage from the pros of this is “normal.” Thank you!
She is...
I have chickens, and I have 1 rooster that is free range because he refuses to stay in the pen. He is almost 3 I believe. I am in Oklahoma, it has been pretty cold here, but just snowed yesterday for the first time this year. He has stayed in the garage, and when I went in there earlier I saw...
Hello, i need some help with a chicken in a particular situation.
I have a common layer hen that i found months ago, she appeared on my porch, was underweight, had a scar on her stomach and an infection in her oviduct which she was treated for until she stopped laying lash eggs and started...
Hi there! So this morning I noticed this weird poop that was laid by one of my pullets... just not sure who. Does this look like normal poop? I don't think anyone ate anything that color :(
I posted earlier about my 1 year old hen acting off. I am following up on her poops to see if it appears things are returning back to a healthier state. These are the last 2 poops she has had.... the one in the grass was the last one. She seems to be acting better but wasn’t sure if the poop...
Well, not quite a Bristol chart, but as close as I have found. It hasn’t captured every fecal variation, but it has a lot of good information. Maybe we can build on this and have a “Visual Poo Clearinghouse” for normal and abnormal poop to aid in our hen care...
is this intestinal shed or coccidiosis? The hen in question is still eating, energetic, and doesn't seem sick. This is her second poop like this today, both times with a minimal amount of blood/red stuff.
I have a sick 4.5 year old Cali White. I posted a thread a few days ago and didn’t get any responses (See Post Here). I’m going to dose her with Valbazen and Corid. What’s the dosing amount for each medicine and what is dosing schedule (4mL/day for 3 days, etc)? I have found conflicting dosing...
Hello.
I have a mixed flock of 7 hens and today found two weird looking droppings with a reddish tinge and a jelly like appearance. Not sure which chicken it’s come from but I have one chicken that is acting odd. Buff polish, about 11 weeks old. She is acting lethargic, usually running around...
I've come to the conclusion that it could be coccidiosis worms or normal shedding of the intestinal lining or urates but I have no clue...
I have a group older pullets that should be laying soon they are 21 weeks and this is what I found from last nights roost. These girls are fed food grade...
My 3 week old Wyandottes have poo like mud. Should I be worried? This pic attached shows what it looks like today -consistency of melted, runny caramel, the colour of mud.
