My 2 year old chicken (looks to be a leghorn or a similar breed) has been a little puffed up for a few months now at times with poopy butt, but otherwise fine. Yesterday I came home to her hunched up in the nesting box, with blood drip and splatter in it. Thought she wouldn't make it through the...

Had a rather bizarre fellow develop in my clutch here this last hatch.
I’d bought a dozen wyandotte eggs and a dozen silkie eggs. All wyandotte eggs developed and hatched perfectly. Only five silkie eggs developed. Two hatched without issues and two needed...
Hi All!
I have a 2yr old healthy roo-eating, running, drinking, jumping. About 2 days ago, I noticed in the mornings only- he will have about two stools with blood in them. The rest of the day they are normal stools. No other symptoms. No other chickens affected. Knock on wood, no issues ever...
While checking on my almost 10 week old chicks this morning, I noticed two spots of poop that have red in them. I know this can be a sign of coccidiosis, but can also just be their intestinal lining? What does this look like to everyone? Should I treat with Corrid? I have 7 chicks, I don’t know...
About two/three days ago my neighbor's dog came racing to our house and caught one of my chickens. Neighbor came over and dragged him off and I found the injured chicken an hour later (I'd thought she had crawled into the bushes and died until then, I was looking for a body to bury). She was...
My hen is 3 years old. She had a large amount of blood on her rear. I've cleaned it off, but it doesn't look like her vent is prolapsed (right?) What would cause this? I've had to clean her butt about a week ago because the poop had built up so much. So the blood is a big surprise! I'm attaching...
Got this chick 3 weeks ago and was doing fine until now. I don't now the reason why her feet are bleeding first timer and love them but could use some help!!!
I’m unsure of how my baby chick got hurt but the mamma was getting stressed and we believe she accidentally hurt her baby when she flew out her cage. Is there anything we can do to stop the bleeding? The baby has began picking at it tasing the blood. Her wing also looks limp.
Does anyone know what’s going on with my girl? She didn’t come in last night (we moved her in ourselves) and was bloody this morning. It only seems to be her feet, both of them. They’re colder to the touch and don’t seem to be actively bleeding. Is it frostbite? We cleaned a bit with rubbing...
I have two pullets we have been raising since they were 2 days old. Last month we noticed bloody poop from one of them. No other symptoms at all. Started Corid treatment right away (2 tsp per gallon) and treated everyone including 4 older hens. We also cleaned up their droppings daily (sand...
** edit**
I have been watching her since I posted and ONLY now the Australorp decided to pick at it. So I have separated and she is happy in her makeshift brooder for now. Thank you to all the suggestions!
Hi all my Polish has blood on its head. Long story short.
-saw her shaking her head...
I’m asking for my mother in law that has a chicken she saved from a coop fire a few weeks ago. This hen is a silver laced bantam polish. She sent me these pictures and I am not sure what to tell her. I initially thought coccidia, but with the huge blood clot, I’m unsure since any of my chickens...
Lately one of my EEs has been sneezing with her whole body kind of like a small dog would and I also noticed that she tends to drop food when trying to eat. So I opened her mouth after noticing some brown drool and her neck all wet and I find this stuff under her tongue. Me being an idiot, I...
I posted a few days ago about my concerns with the intestinal linings and small blood globs in my chickens poop. Everything seemed to be Ok, nothing serious, until this morning. Out of nowhere, my one mama hen (who is also mid molt) was acting very sick, and had blood in her poop, which is...
Hello!
About a week ago I made a post about red globs and intestinal lining in poop. After that, a few more birds had intestinal lining and no more red globs. I had a fecal float done that came back negative for worms or cocci, but I decided to worm anyways since it may not have shown up. About...
Hello, I am wondering why 3/19 of my hens have this wound in the same spot. There are no roosters among them. They are in a portable tractor so they have access to fresh grass every 2 days. I noticed the wounds fresh 2 days ago, they seem to be scabbing over nicely now. Does anyone have any...
I recently acquired some ducks from someone who was moving away. I notices one was missing from the little flock and went out searching. I found her on her back with one leg stuck in the air. Breathing but not moving much. I gathered her up and brought her in. She didn't fight me but I usually...
I found this pile on the poop board below their roosting bars. I found a similar poo about a week ago but nothing since, and all the chickens are looking and acting normal! Pic shows the way I found it and then after breaking it up with a stick.
Hello, i recently bought this cute silkie hen last night. Today i was getting her used to me and she seemed pretty tamed but i never saw her run. I realised her poop was very reddish orange and i’m just really worried she might be sick? or is it the new environment? perhaps coccidia? She seems...
I have 6 chicks about 5 months old. All purchased at the same time so I'm assuming all the same age, like couple days old when I got them in February. The bloody pine shavings I found in their coop the morning after I cleaned their coop, as I always have. New things I did was add ag lime to the...
