diarrhea

Hi there! So I’ve had a flock of hens for about 9 months now. My girls are about 1 year old. I’ve noticed for the last month or so that my blue Andalusian has been having extremely runny poops. Like they actually squirt out of her bum often. They eat layer pellets, oyster shells and grit. I...

Hi! I have a 1 1/2 year old red pyle bantam who has been acting strange the past day or so. It started yesterday when I brought him inside (he likes to hang out with our indoor chicken). I noticed he wasn’t making much noise and he wouldn’t eat. He was also having diarrhea that started out with...

I noticed our hen was lethargic last night but put it down to me closing them in their coop later than normal. The other hens were already roosting but she was on the ground next to the waterer. She doesn’t always roost up high, she’s larger than our other hens and older. She’s about a year old...

I have a hen that in October started having very large green diarrhea poop every night. Only at night on the roost. I have a poop board. And the coop and run both have sand. Poop is cleaned every day so I see it all. After frantically searching, my options were she’s not eating enough or...

Hi all, thank you in advance for your help. One week ago I brought in a 10 month old hen after finding green poop on the dropping board a number of mornings. She weighs just over 6 pounds and it’s remained relatively unchanged. She drinks excessively but has only been eating raw eggs and very...

The ill chicken is an approximately 7 month old Buff Orpington hen. Her and the rest of the flock mates poop has been tested for parasites by the vet. No worms, protozoans etc. The vet did find traces of unbudding candida. That made sense since I initially thought she had vent fleet and treated...

My 4.5 y/o EE, Darla, is going through a pretty extreme molt. She's at the bottom of the pecking order and always pretty awkward, but is acting even more confused and flustered than usual, and is otherwise very low energy. This is normal for her during molts. However, I noticed the following...

Hi there! Fairly new to the forum, wishing this wasn’t the topic of my first post but here we are. Hillary, one of my lovely Australorp x Rhode Island Reds (18mo-ish) collapsed this morning when she was let out of the coop - I was unable to get a photo as she got up shortly after (and then...

Hello again! I noticed my rooster mouth breathing was back (no wheezing and gurgle sound). It started when the weather became hot and humid again and when I fed him sweet corn. At first, he has droppings were not digested well. Now, he has diarrhea and this is how it looks. Even his cecal...

We have a beautiful english silverlaced orpington, Ada Lovelace, and she nearly died last November (it's August now) but she still had chronic diarrhea and I feel so bad for her. I'm hoping if I post what we've been through the last year and perhaps some of you will have tips to help rid her...

Hello all, I went into the run today to give out the daily dose of love and cuddles and noticed my 1yr old EE kinda fluffy and quiet off to the side. I felt her crop and all was normal, but she does have messy/dirt butt feathers. My question is, would this be vent gleet or a possible case of...

Thanks for reading. My hen ISA brown Nina is roughly 18 months old and showing some concerning symptoms. I thought she was broody, but now I’m thinking she’s sick… These behaviors made me think she was broody… Sitting on clutch of eggs, 6 days Not leaving nest Giant broody-looking poop Missing...

Recently, my 2 years old chicken went lame and had watery diarrhea so I assumed she was eggbound. After a few days of warm baths, calcium and lubing the vent, there was still no egg (nor could I feel one inside or outside the vent). It has now been 3 weeks of feeding this poor girl baby food and...

My 3.5mo turkey BBW has liquid diarrhea. Noticed wet shavings in cage but didn't know it was his poo until this morning, he's not acting himself anymore. Offered electrolytes in water so far. He's walking, didn't seem interested in food but did drink some water. We've had so much rain in the...

I have 3 buff Orpington and 4 silkies. They are seven weeks old. They have only been inside and not transitioned outside to their coop yet due to the heat wave of 100°+ for a week. They eat non-medicated starter feed, their indoor “coop” has large pine shaving & they have fresh water and food...

Over Memorial weekend, we noticed that my hen Fiona was unable to walk. Her legs still worked but her balance was not right. When we first saw the vet he said she was emaciated, and since she was refusing to eat, we have been tube-feeding her. Over the last two weeks (since Memorial weekend)...

Ok so our favorite hen has had this series of events: abt 3 weeks ago: lethargic, laying around, droopy wings. Diarrhea, some on bottom but not much. -I panic, knowing my 8 yr old daughters best chicken friend is in danger. Take her to the vet. They say she has hook worm and coccidiosis. -...

I have a laying hen (about 2 years old) that’s sick. She has been sleeping in the nesting box lately which is unusual for her and now was spending the afternoon in there. I took her out and brought her inside and she pooped watery diarrhea that shot out of her about 2 feet. It was lots of clear...

Our 16 week old Swedish Flower hen is sick again. She is started to fluff up and act tired, has had watery diarrhea with some spots of blood. No sign of crop issues yet. Still eating and drinking. Best picture I could get of poop: 2 months ago she stopped eating and drinking and developed a...

Hello! I have a baby chick who has diarrhea consistently. He or she is on the same food as the 6 other chicks and they are fine. This chick eats, plays, drinks, and is otherwise normal. Have not noticed blood or any of the cocci signs. I have not had cocci before so I’m always watching them...
