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...
Hello! I have an unknown mallard cross that is approx 7wks old. She/he has had diarrhea for approx 28hrs now - I added a pic. She is also more quiet, less active (this baby has never been extremely active to begin with and prefers to be a lap duck -_-). She has little to no appetite. They...
Around a day ago I noticed that one of my chickens has a bloated abdomen beneath her vent that feels like it is full of fluid. She has been having very watery diarrhea and is breathing heavy. Today her abdomen feels a little bigger and she looks painful. She will still eat and drink and her comb...
My 1-week-old Silver Wyandotte chick, Jujube, has diarrhea and pasty bottom. The other chicks are fine. She is one of the smallest.
Yesterday, she had diarrhea. I cleaned her up, hoping it was a one time incident. This morning, the diarrhea is more watery, with pasty bottom. I cleaned her...
As the title says, one chicken out of my 7 has had diarrhea and a dirty butt for several weeks. She is a 2 year old Golden Comet and the only Comet in the flock. She is small by nature but has definitely lost weight during this time frame. Her breast bone is very prominent. I have treated the...
Hi everyone! I'm a first time duck owner. In the past week or so I've noticed my 5 week old Pekin has one droopy wing. I feed them appropriate protein all flock maintainer food (I've done lots of research) as well as supplementing with nutritional yeast. So not sure if it could be the start of...
I recently got to American Peking ducks (they are around 5-6 weeks old) and they were so healthy! I clean their enclosure every other day, change their food every other day, and change their water 2 to 3 times a day.
I have been keeping them in my garage to protect them from the rain and cold...
I’ve started to lose chicks one by one since they turned 7 days old, they started to get pasty butt a few days after I’d gotten them when they were around 4 days old, starting with the White Marans, and then later my Buff Brahma (which was the spunkiest most vigorous chick).
The smallest go...
Our 3 year old hen Fajita who is one of our friendliest hens started acting standoffish yesterday. She also didn't go up on the roost last night, she was huddled in the corner on the floor. This morning she didn't come out of the hen house for breakfast. I took her off the roost and put her in...
Hi everyone, sorry for the long post but I wanted to give as much context as possible! Our chicken story is unconventional as a hen turned up in our garden and was never claimed by anyone (if you can name her breed from the photo I would love to know!). She is a sweet girl and we felt she needed...
Good morning all.... I have a 4 year old sexling that has a very swollen chest, diarrhea on her tail feathers, is standing in my driveway with her eyes closed very lethargic.... i have no idea what to do yo help her
I made a pop in visit a few days in a row to my local Tractor Supply. I went in originally to purchase new chicks, but when I saw the conditions I started making pop ins to check on all the babies. Tonight I ended up being given a few very weak guinea keets, because the employees didn't know...

*Has grit
*Only eats a little crumple each day.
*Drinks a lot of water
*Does NOT have an impacted crop
*Has lost weight.
* She will not drink water with probiotic...
Hello all and Happy Almost New Year! I’m turning again to my favorite community for some health assessment and advise. The past few weeks I’ve noticed some atypical poops on the poop board. Most are still normal in appearance, so I think it is just one of my girls who I’ve was able to identify...
My poor Foghorn has really been through it. He was really lethargic yesterday, I could pick him up even & hold him in my lap. He'd falling asleep when all else was action action action. I've not been able to identify his particular poo. But there has been an increase in icky diarrhea the last...

So I'm out here chillin' with my chickens when I hear splat, and see my Cochin pooping out water. I'd take a pic, but there is nothing to see at all - it is completely clear and absorbed into the grass immediately.
She's eating, drinking, acting completely normal. She is molting, however, and...
Ok sorry for the long description and up comping post...here it goes... end of August I had what I believe was infectious bronchitis move through the flock. Lost 1 started treatment with terramyacin. Improved. Still a few sneezing etc. after several weeks I saw major improvement in egg...
I originally posted about my ill, 6 month old BO pullet here. In a nutshell, she went off her feed and was having pretty explosive green diarrhea, often chunky and reminiscent of c. perfringens photos I've seen on the web. Despite all that, she was still energetic (and a huge pain in my ass per...
