diarrhea

Our 5 1/2 month old BO Pullet has very gradually started to act ill. It was tough to notice at first. First we noticed her growing lack of interest in food. While the other girls were always bottom-up eating at whatever food was around, she'd be off by herself--not lethargic, still boisterous...

Hi Team! I need you again! My flock of 12 is almost 20 weeks old, appears healthy, eating well, active, etc. (eggs should be just around the corner). At least one of the mixed flock (11 hens, 1 roo, all med-large, not giant breeds) developed diarrhea about 7-10 days ago, and now I think two...

Hello, My name is Kassie. I am new to raising chickens. We received our 7 new chicks via USPS on Monday the 9th. They are so small and needy. Right now we have them in a Rubbermaid we converted into a brooder and are having issues with the heat lamp. Its giving off too much heat. I've raised...

Hello chicken friends! I have a hen I adopted from a friend back in early July, and for the past two weeks or so, she's had sporadic diarrhea. First, her poop was runny and dark in color (dark greenish brown, almost black). Then, five to seven days later, it seemed to clear up and her poop...

Need some help. We got chickens six or eight months ago. It was a group of 17 or 18 chickens that were rescued. Five of these chickens have been kept separate since we got them due to running butts. We have treated them with diatomaceous earth, medicated feed and corid. Nothing seems to...

This just happened, and I immediately rushed on here to try to find some answers, as I couldn't find a definitive answer online. Help would be greatly appreciated! A buff Orpington hen of mine has had diarrhea for about two weeks now. Her back feathers show it. I hadn't worried because...

i need help!!!! I have 2 free roaming chickens that live together which are about 2.5-3 years old. They are Rhode Island Reds. Part of the backyard is near a wooded area/forest. The smaller of the sisters all of a sudden started staying in her coop and will not eat or stand! She seems very weak...

Returned from vacation on Sunday evening. Had our neighbor watching coop as she has done before. She called Sunday morning letting me know that she had found one of the chickens dead and another hiding under coop and wouldn't come out. No other concerns. Got home, found chicken still under coop...

My 2 1/2 year old Austra White Started Having White Diarrhea and is not wanting to eat or drink much. She seems like she still has some energy left in her but otherwise is not doing much. She doesn't have a fever and my other girls are doing good. I have already separated her and gave her...

A few of our 12-week-old chickens are having yellowish poops (sometimes foamier, sometimes more pudding-like than pictured), but are otherwise eating, drinking, and acting energetic. Their combs are all as red as usual. We have also seen them each take normal poops in between the scarier looking...

To start, I think she may have gotten into some bad water. Today she was just standing there by her water (not the source of the bad water) and I saw her butt was goopy (yellow/white). When I picked her up to wash her off and put a small amount of pressure on her chest to hold her water was...

I treated my young chicks and guineas for cocci as I lost 2 and noticed the symptoms. Everyone perked up and then the other day I noticed dirty vent on a young pullet (most turned out to be roosters). I really want to save her. I have isolated, washed the area with warm water and dettol mix...

Hey everyone! I’m new to chickens and have read some great things on the site but first time posting. We have a small flock of three hens, and two of them have “mud butt” if you will (one very mild, just a little caked on her feathers, one pretty bad). My husband and I gave the worst one a bath...

Priscilla has had pure liquid green/yellow diarrhea for over a week now, it has a very odd and peculiar smell (new smell to me), her weight is crazy down, she has some energy but not much. I've been giving her some raw milk kefir with cinnamon, honey, and some oregano oil to hopefully fight off...

Hello, I have a 2 year old Cinnamon Queen who has a floppy comb, weight loss, diarrhea and not laying for about a month now. She's laid about 2 eggs we think in the last 4 week or so period. He activity level is mostly good, some bad days where she stands in the corner of the coop, but always...

My Barred Rock has diarrhea. She is still laying, does not appear to feel bad, but I'd like to clear this up. Any suggestions appreciated!

Not sure what is up with my hen :/ I let my chickens out to free range this morning and I saw her jump out of a nesting box after everyone was gone and walk outside. When I came back after putting the chicks in their outdoor run, I noticed her laying down and making gurgling noises. When I...

I have a golden laced Wyandotte cock who is nearly 20 weeks old and he has been living with the older hens along with 2 young hens his age for about 8 weeks now. He currently is eating a half chick starter and half hen layer food. And ever since he has been living with them, he constantly has...

Hi All, I need some help! One of my chickens has shown several different symptoms in a progression over the last few days. Below is info, I have been researching everything under the sun and I cannot figure out what she has. I don't want to over treat her for the wrong thing. Advice is much...

I don't know what's wrong with my girl. I wormed my three bantams on 5/26 and all seemed okay after that. But, I've noticed she seems "off" the last few days; saw her straining with some diarrhea in the nest box the last two evenings, but when I gave her an epsom salt bath today I saw that's she...
