Please help! I recently homed 5 chickens (2, 2 year old Isa Brown, and 3, 3 year old Leghorns) and integrated them into my flock. We had 14 "teenage" birds that aren't laying yet (10 Isa Brown, 2 Rhode Island Red, and 2 Americauna). We've had them for about 2 weeks now and yesterday I started...

I am new to chicken keeping, and this is my first experience trying to nurse a chicken back to health. Wondering if anyone can help with figuring out what's going...
Agnes is one of my first chickens and I’m so worried about her! About three days ago I noticed her not eating as much and drinking more water than usual. She didn’t want to leave the coop and has white/yellow diarrhea on her vent feathers. She’s been increasingly lethargic and now isn’t...
I have a chicken that is about a year old. Americauna hen named Sunflower. She has started coughing and is wheezy if you hold her up close you can hear the wheezing. She does a head jerk thing when coughing. Her eyes and nose are clear. She does not have drainage from eyes or nasal...
My chicken has stopped laying since monday so now hasn't done an egg for 7 days and now her poo's are runny and watery. she also isn't eating as much corn and pellets but drinks lots of water in the morning instead. I got 3 new chickens 11 days ago which made me think she was just grumpy so was...
My hen has been exhibiting weird behavior since a few hours ago. She would not stand up, had diarrhea, and kept panting. When she last pooped, I saw the little worms in her poop! She does not have any open wounds so she must have ingested them. Please help as soon as possible! Any natural...
Hi Everyone,
I have a very sweet 1 year old Astolop who has been having diarrhea and appears to be laying soft eggs (the shell isn't fully formed) for a couple weeks now. She had mites, but we got those completely under control and I've been putting diatomaceous earth in the feed, and all...
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
Hen d’uccle. So she’s very small to begin with but I can feel her very pointy keel(?) bone. I got her 8 months ago. She’s roughly a year.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
She started with...
Hello. I'm new to BYC, but I've been lurking for a while trying to find what direction in which to go. To begin with, I have 8 Ameracauna hens and an Ameracauna rooster. I hatched all from eggs, except 1 hen (the mother or aunt to the rest) therefore I know they don't have hatchery...
I am very worried about one of my girls. This is my first set of chickens. I've had them since they were a day old and have been through the ringer keeping them healthy. Upper respitory infections, coccidia you name it. My australorp has been the only one that has remained healthy through it all...
Hi,
One of my 3 ex-battery hens has been having diarrhoea (not sure how long for, I was away when it started but I've been back for 5 days now and it's continued). Last night, an hour or so after they've all usually gone back into the coop, we noticed she was sitting under it & I had to get...
New to the chick world. I have 4 pullets. They are about 3-4 weeks old. They are active but I have been noticing diarrhea in the pen (dark brown color) I am feeding medicated starter feed, I notice from time to time to of them looked kinda ruffled feathers and off to themselves. I was reading on...
Rhode Island Red 8 months old. Not sure if she's laying, we have 33 hens and can't always keep track of who's laying. Noticed her symptoms 4 days ago. Pale comb and wattles with purplish tint. Yellowing face and vent area. Standing around allot and moving slowly. Eating and drinking is...
I'm having difficulty diagnosing my hen.
She has very smelly yellow/green diarrhea, lethargic, hardly eats/drinks, looks depresed, lost a lot of weight, and is acting cold (even when it's not). Been going on for a little over a week. At first I was thinking Coccidiosis, but her diarrhea doesn't...
hi I have a week old Silkie chick that I noticed now has a liquid brown stool . Is this diarrhea. I do not remember seeing it like this a few days ago. I am feeding him chick starter food that is Non Medicated and just plain water with nothing added to it. Any suggestions would be greatly...
My rooster is sick. He’s been a bit sleepy the past few days, his comb has been a bit pale but his waddle is bright, his poop is runny and orange/brown.
Today he wouldn’t leave the nesting box even though I was handing out treats. The rest of the flock is doing just fine, they recently...
I purchased 6 silkie chicks from someone two days ago. I noticed one is smaller than the others and has a watery eye. I have also noticed a little blood in some of the stool and now many have diarrhea. I thought maybe the heat lamp was too hot but they are in a large area and stay under the lamp...
I have three 28-week old hens. They seem healthy and happy but every week or so I get a few splats of really liquid diarrhea on the poop board. No clue who's doing it or if they all take a turn at it.
Nothing much changes about their diet from day to day except for what they may find when...
I recently acquired 3 lovely 12-15 week old hens to add to my backyard flock, and while in quarantine 1 of them has become ill. When they first arrived I gave them some water with apple cider vinegar to help combat the stress of travel, but within a couple of days "sick chick's" condition became...
