    Super lethargic, weird poop

    A few days ago I noticed my buff orpington was acting a little slower than usual. She has been getting worse and it looks like she's having weird bathroom troubles. She strains a lot and only a little comes out and it looks "snaky". I don't believe she is eggbound unless the egg might have...

    Grangrene in quail?

    one of my hens has had bumblefoot for several months and the treatment isnt working and now it looks like the foot is dying and she is walking on one foot. Is it too late for antibiotics or will i need to amputate/euthanize.

    Eyes sealed shut, raspy breathing, pale face

    One of my hens has had raspy breathing, a little bit of gasping, and runny manure lately. She was sitting on the lowest roost all day except when she went to eat and drink and then roosted up high at night where she usually did. Today she couldn't fly off the roost and I had to bring her to the...

I have 5 ducks right now, but 2 died in the past couple of months from what was identified as cancer. One had tumors in his testes and liver, while another had one between his wing. I have...

    Silkie chicks twitching head?

    In the past month we got around 20 fertilized silkie chicken eggs for incubation. Our neighbor requested us to hatch these eggs for her since she knew we regularly hatch eggs a few times a year. When the chicks hatched we had one that seemed pretty weak and was not able to hold its head in a...

    Please help! Why does some of the insides of my duck’s claws look like this? Is it normal?

  10. The duck father_

    ((GORE WARNING)) Necropsy findings, Swollen gizzard.

    Any hypothesis on what could've caused this? Swollen gizzard, shrunken and purple heart, pale organs, and extremely underweight. There was no fat anywhere on him including his heart. He ate plenty, but started collapsing every month until he suffered a seizure and died. He was a rescue and...

    My Girl’s Bald Spot

    Hi all - my Hattie has a bald patch that seems to be getting worse. We noticed it a little over a month ago and put it down to molting, but I don’t think so now. We’ve checked carefully for mites, lice, etc, and see no evidence. There’s a little red spot, but that’s all I can see. Any ideas...

    URGENT Hen Rapidly Losing Weight

    Hi everyone, My 2.5 year old leghorn hen started molting earlier this fall and I was worried when they were taking a while to grow back since my other hens didn't really molt, but she seemed fine otherwise so I didn't worry. Her feathers did start growing back, but I guess they never fully did...

    Black Tongue Sore?

    I thought for a while that this hen had been getting bullied, because she had a bare spot on her back. Now today I saw her standing at the top of the roost in the middle of the day. She was breathing heavily and her breaths were raspy and gurgles. Upon further inspection I saw that her tongue...

    Dying, hunch back pullets

    Why are my 8 week old chickens holding themselves like this? Back hunched, tail feathers down. The yellow one stood like that yesterday and was dead by this morning. Today, my olive egger is standing the same way. I attached a picture of my chicken with normal posture for comparison. I don’t...

    Suddenly “off” chick leg? Injury or disease

    Hello, we purchased 6 Silver Laced chicks from rural king this last Sunday (1 week ago today). I’m assuming they’re no more than 2 weeks old. About 2 days ago I noticed 1 chicks leg was “off”. Balance was off, and it seems to be bending the opposite way but not at the knee, it seems like the...

    Hi! I have an almost 6 month old (not laying yet) Rhode Island Red that has been limping for the past week. It started as a small wobble, but now she doesn't use her left leg at all. Her other leg and wings are all fine, just her left leg. Also, her toes are not curled, but they're not in their...

    Massive Tumor.. what was it? (Graphic)

    On Sunday I noticed one of my barnyard mix hens feathers were hanging down her leg. She was eating and otherwise seemed fine. I couldn’t catch her and get a better look until yesterday. When I went to check on her I did notice that there was a huge lump/tumor hanging down. (From one side of her...

    What are my chickens sick with?

    I’m finding several diseases with the same symptoms listed, can y’all help me narrow down what they have so I can treat appropriately? Sneezing, head shaking, runny watery brown poops that are very smelly, puffy eyes and seemingly redder in the face in one of them. I noticed sneezing yesterday...

    Small and Sickly Hen

    Sick chicken, what could it have been?

    Hi first time on here. Can anyone help me identify why my hen got sick and died. I found her sitting beside the water five days ago, she was wet under her chin and when I picked her up and moved her I noticed a gurgling sound from her crop and some fluid came from her beak when I picked her...
