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...
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...
We've got (or had) 5 hens housed with 3 ducks. A couple of our hens have had chronic dirty vents and some diarrhea. They're housed in a huge outdoor pen (with coop inside) so it's not easy to tell who is laying or what poo looks like in great detail, but it's clear that 2 of them had diarrhea...
I have a golden comet hen. I do not know her age. I can tell she is sick but I have no idea where to start with healing her. Her symptoms started with a fallen comb. Then a "fairy egg" and diarrhea. Runny green and white droppings. Her vent is very gross, from the diarrhea. Its sticking to her...
I need help figuring out what is wrong with my silkie roo. Here is what we have observed and done so far:
- Roughly 3 weeks ago He stopped standing up was very weak in the legs and stopped eating. He came and spent a couple days with his “nana” and he got medicated water and quiet time without...
The facts:
I have a 2 yo Rhode Island Red hen which has had loose, watery stools for the past week to two weeks. About one out of, maybe, ten stools is milky/slimy. The others contain normal looking feces, just in a watery form.
She is the same hen who gets loose stools after every round of...
im new to this raising chicken thing and i have a silkie rooster who I noticed this morning is not walking.
Brought him inside and noticed he has smelly diarrhea also.
When I brought him in he was eating and drinking normal.
I checked his feet and it looks like he has a bad case of scaly leg...
One of my 4 two-year-old Barnevelders died suddenly yesterday. She had not exhibit any sign of sickness, her behavior and coat was fine. That prompr me to examine the rest of the flock today and even though they are all looking and acting normal they seem to all have some mild diarrhea or a sort...
Hello,
My husband and I got chickens two weeks ago for our backyard in the city. They have seemed very happy and love foraging around in our yard. We feed them laying feed mixed with peanuts and sunflower seeds. We’ve also given them dried lentils, cooked porridge, pieces of onions, kale and...
My muscovy drake just stopped - all of a sudden eating yesterday. He drinks a lot of water, I mean (a lot), more than ever. Sometimes moves his head left and right like something bothers him. He seems depressed and don't want to be bother by anyone. He moves his mouth like if he's drinking water...
