diarrhea

I have a bantam that has just recently started flying up to our hands and seems to want to be handled. However, this afternoon, it seems to be under the heat plate more and has runny droppings/diarrhea. It also doesn't seem to be eating as much as usual or I haven't caught it when I've checked...

I think I have a sick chicken or she’s super stressed. She’s been a bit bullied and today I had to pull her from the coop because her comb was bleeding (someone took a small piece of it) and her comb is more pink than red which I had just assumed was weather related but now I have her in my...

Hi all, I'll try getting pictures of the poop tomorrow. For a few weeks 2 of my Orpington hens have had liquid diarrhea. They have watery sneezes too. Their vents look fine and there's no yellow build-up on the vent feathers. I change their water regularly and clean the dispensers once a week...

I had chickens when I was little, but I wasn't the one caring for them. I have now hand raised 3 pullets, 2 of which have just started laying. I got them a rooster from auction today and the poor guy looks a little worse for the wear. He's a silkie with a very large comb and it lays over one...

Hello fellow bird people! I am fairly new to the life of raising birds. My wife and I currently have 4 chickens(hatched in July), 3 broiler chickens(also hatched in July whom we were supposed to harvest before winter, but we've since become attached and they started laying), 13 quail and 3...

2 weeks ago I notice one of my jenny's (1 year old) had a mass sticking out of her vent. I separated her from the others and started to treat here for prolapse vent. I did notice that she would strain very hard and the would pop right back out every time that I pushed it in. Finally, I just...

I have three RIR’s that are 8 months old and one has been have loose black wet looking poops. Just wondering if this is normal? First time chicken owner.

Hi, all! First post here! I have a flock of 10 chickens. After losing my rooster earlier this year, I wanted to replace the rooster. I met a breeder who said he's NPIP certified and brought home a little Brahma. He's eating and drinking, but the first day there was blood in his stool. The...

Hi all- I have a flock of 19 birds half are 18 months old and the other half are 6 months. and several of them have had very watery diarrhea. I treated them all with safeguard 2 times 10 days apart. It’s been 8 days since the last treatment and some are still having very loose stool. Do I...

I'm new to online forums and don't know how to link to my older thread, but my hen who I thought had a partially impacted crop went on to develop diarrhea and pale combs and wattles following a molt. I had a fecal float done and it showed one worm egg but not enough to give the vet cause for...

Hi, Very concerned about my shaking hen. Breed: Amberlink Hen Age: 7 months ~21days 1st Egg: July 21st [November 2nd, 2020] My hen stopped laying eggs 18 day ago. Her appetite has decreased, she is lethargic, has bright red comb, daily (whole-body) shaking episodes, periodic gaping...

Two weeks ago, I bought 3 pullets from a friend. I have them quarantined in a separate coop from my existing flock, about 20 yds away for 1 month. When I got them, I noticed they seemed to have irregular BMs. They were showing some of the signs of Coccidiosis, so I treated them with Corid. I...

I have a leghorn chicken, her name is Munchkin. She's about 16 or so weeks old, and we brought her in the house maybe 2 weeks ago. She had been huddled away from the flock and lethargic. Right now, she's currently in a dog crate. Her shavings get changed regularly and I take her out every so...

Hello! I’m sorry if it is rude to post in the emergency section before I have introduced myself properly on here, but my chickens are sick and I am desperate! This is my first time raising chickens and I have been constantly reading up and trying to educate myself as best as I can, but they’re...

Chicken Poop Pics - Three separate days and taken in the morning after sleeping...these are the worst of the days (from the 7th, 15th, 16th). One of my hens (not even a year old yet) has been having diarrhea (very watery, green, sometimes really mucous-y but no blood and no yolky looking stuff)...

Hi there. Me and my family are fairly new to owning chickens, with a little experience from the past. Recently we got 7 hens of various breeds and 1 rooster from some friends, and we love them so much. We left on vacation about a week or two after first getting them, and a seemingly healthy hen...

A few days ago, I noticed our Delaware was losing feathers. She's a few months over a year so I thought she was having an off first molt and didn't notice anything on a cursory check. Yesterday, she was lethargic and drinking a lot of water. Upon checking her, I found horrible dark gray scabs...

I know there are many online posts about sick chickens, but I couldn't find anything specific to help here. Would appreciate some general suggestions, please. I have a young white leghorn (~ 5 months old) who has suddenly declined (the other chick mates are fine). We had extreme heat here, of...

I noticed a couple days ago that my older guinea keets — probably around 2-3 weeks old or maybe older but not sure — were having diarrhea. I’m not sure how long its been going on but I’m not sure if I should be worried or not. Sometimes they have a normal solid poop and then they have a very...

Ruby (golden comet) is 16 weeks old today. On Friday I noticed her staying in the coop more when everyone else was outside in the run. I got excited because I thought she might be checking out the nesting boxes and planning to lay her first egg. When I went out to shut them in for the night...
