    Sick hen

This morning I noticed a change in her poop (loose diarrhea with some yellow leakage) and she seems to have lost weight. She is on...

    Dying left and right

    @2ndTink Okay, starting in May/June I started having chickens dying almost every day or other day. Some started out struggling to walk and then unable to walk at all. I initially suspected Mereks. I took one chicken to my local vet and had them send her off for a necropsy at Texas A&M. The only...

    Hey all, long story short, my girl Hennifer Eggiston (Croad Langshan) is a house hen after a family of bears wrecked my coop. I’m noticing that she is having very large and watery poops. I’ve not seen this type of poop from my chickens before. Does this look normal? It is not hot (16-20c)...

    Goose diarrhea?

    My one goose wasn't pooping much at all but now she has the worst diarrhea. It's a very dark green, almost black, but without the urate (she did poop pure urate out before though) and it smells awful. She seems fine otherwise? Her vent is a mess though and seems very itchy. I think she's just...

    I have no idea what is going on. Do you?

    I have Olive, an easter egger, that I thought only had a case of bumblefoot. She started limping about a week ago, I started treatment: epsom salt baths, purid, foot wrapping. Then about 3 days in, she started to lay down a lot and then started isolating herself. When I picked her up, she...
