chicken disease

One of my hens has had raspy breathing, a little bit of gasping, and runny manure lately. She was sitting on the lowest roost all day except when she went to eat and drink and then roosted up high at night where she usually did. Today she couldn't fly off the roost and I had to bring her to the...

One of my roosters has been very sick the past few days. He's about 6 years old so I dont think its an old age thing. I first noticed his odd sickly behavior 3 days ago. He wouldnt eat much and he was staying away from most of the chickens in the pen. The day after that I immediately knew...

Noticed One of my momma hens had this and I have no idea what it is! Please help!

I have got a pair of polish chicks They were growing and eating well until one of them got sick, it however recovered and started eating and is active but I noticed the chicken is not growing properly as compared to the other which never got sick. There is a noticeable size difference between...

hello all! so we live in southern ontario and it is our first very hot day this year. well anyways, one of my 11 month old columbian rocks is acting very strange today. (for reference, she has dwarfism and doesn’t lay eggs, gets picked on sometimes) when i went to let them out of the run to free...

Hi! I think my birdies have gapeworm and, being organic I'm not sure what to do. The chickens will constantly shake their heads and don't seem to have other respiratory issues so gapeworm is right where my head went- I attached a video of the chickens below. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks

I first noticed tiny black spots on my exchequer leghorn’s comb about a month ago, but didn’t think much of it because they’re acting normal otherwise. When I looked closely today, I noticed the spots have spread a little and the rooster has them too (photos attached). I’m really hoping...

hello fellow chicken lovers :) it’s been a while since I posted. My flock has been fantastic, although laying has been inconsistent because of extreme heat here in Aus. I noticed today after popping the girls back in their coop that one of my chooks has a big white growth on its wattle! I can’t...

My chicken is unable to walk or stand. She seemed completely fine yesterday except for the fact that she was laying on my lap loosely last night. I thought it was just due to the fact that she was tired and almost asleep, but it was different than how she normally lays when sleeping. She is not...

Hey Guys! This is my first time posting on here! We have a flock of 40+ chickens along with some tirkeys, ducks, and guineas, but we have one hen (a very special hen) who lives in the house with us. She's been a house hen for quite some time, she has a little chicken diaper that she wears and...

My grandparents had two chickens, one of which got sick. They don't really know what they are doing so we took the chicken home (a little Australorp bantam) to nurse it back to health. We kept it completely separate from my chooks, in a cat carrier. We washed our hands very well every time. I...

I have 6 chicks (Plymouth rocks and wyandottes) and I found this poop on their heat mat this morning. This is my third brood, and I have never had an issue with coccidiosis in any of my adult chickens, or chicks before... So I don't really know what I am doing... I have begun adding coccidiostat...

Hello chicken lovers, I have a quick question about marek's disease recently one of my friends chickens passed because of marek's. My friend and I are also going to be raising show chickens and selling them after a few months should I be worried about the chicks caching marek's, we got the...
