A had a chick hatch just fine in the incubator 4 days ago. Noticed that it would only drink if I held it in my hand he would put his head towards the water and drink but every time it drank it would gasp and swallow for a few seconds. He walked really wobbly as if it was drunk and then would...
Hey everyone!
Last month one of my Wyandottes mysteriously died. We think she missed the door at night and freaked out maybe had a heart attack from the panick. Her name was Motto Mami.
Her sister who was attached to her at the hip is Guata-Gata, Gata for short.
Since Motto’s death, I was...
Hello all, as you may know from my other posts, Pebble has been sick for a long time (though still happy and active for a lot of the day, she’s also suffering a lot). Today we’re putting pebble down at the vet. This morning, something was wrong with our other chicken, olive. We took her to the...
My chicken Libby seems quite depressed and not herself after we lost Tilly chicken. She does tend to keep to herself more and has a more "chill" personality, so she will often just sit with our 9 year old chicken and watch everything go by, but since we lost Tilly she stares through our gate...
My 1 say old ducklings 3rd eyelid (the lid they use underwater) is stuck in the middle of his eye, this happened to one of my other duckling I was raising last year and he passed a few days after. He is acting normal right now, but I’m scared that he won’t make it. His water eyelid is also very...
Hello everyone, it would mean very much if you saw this thread and helped me out on this. My EE hen has a sprained leg and she is getting pecked a lot by the other hens in the flock when she just started to have her sprained leg. She is the lowest on the pecking order compared to my other 2...
Hello everyone, I was looking at my rooster's toe nail and I think I found out that his toe nail might have fallen off from scratching? It looks like his upper toe nail is still on, while the bottom of the toe nail is off. I can see the little blood dripping from there. I then cleaned his toe...
today was a sad day :( my sister's white leghorn (Yello) abruptly died. well, not so quite abruptly...
maybe around late 2020, like november, we saw her getting chased around by the other chickens. we picked her up to see her butt extremely bloody. We snipped off her butt feathers and cleaned...

I've had my chickens since early May. In that time, I've lost two birds with similar symptoms. My lavender ameracauna pullet in a nesting box one morning in early June. She had seemed slightly lethargic, but still alert and moving around.
I lost a roo last week. He was also lethargic, so we...
I came home today to find two of my one year old Indian runner ducks dead. This is so unexpected!! They were absolutely fine yesterday. Just like always I put them in last night and I think they all ate their food. They have been kept in their small enclosure so week and so I don't see how...
