dizzy

Hi, We have a 1 ½ yr old Silkie, 1074g who has gone downhill really quickly in the last day. We noticed 4 days ago she was sleeping more than usual, but otherwise eating as normal and not showing any signs of illness until yesterday evening when she failed to join the others in the coop and...

Hi! We are raising meat birds for the first time. Freedom Ranger Color Yield. Somewhere in the last week and a half, we noticed we had a bird that kept losing balance and falling. We thought it was because of uneven ground or weak legs. We got her out away from the flock and tried to let her...

I'm hopeful for some advice with a sick chicken. Dad just dropped it off for the weekend, and I'm not sure what it needs. 1) She's a 3 year old Isa Brown, she's maybe feeling a bit lighter than she usually does. 2) One eye is sometimes open, the other is closed. I haven't tried to open it...

I purchased July 5th 2022 (3 week old) Swedish Flower Rooster from Meyer Hatchery, I called today and reassured that this bird was vaccinated to rule out cocci, I am obsessively cleaning the cage (I don't naturally enjoy the smell, I am giving medicated starter feed officially today I don’t...

Hi all, We rescued a goose about four months ago. In about mid January we suspect that he had an impacted crop, he was dizzy, falling over, had somewhat of an appetite (but couldn't stretch down to eat), and he couldn't put his head under his wing. At the time, I massaged his crop and helped...

Long story short, we had ordered 21 ducklings and 3 Emdben goslings from out West. One of the goslings was only half the size of the other two. We ended up losing six of the smallest ducklings so we feared for this small gosling. While it wasn't a leader of the flock like the other two, it did...

All - my chicken has been acting off for two days - running in circles, freaking out at nothing, twirling her head in an odd way, flying into things...I’m concerned she’s dying. I can’t post a video for some reason but she’ll stand and roll her head back and then duck and tuck it down and...

Hi! I'm trying to understand what's going on with one of my hen, I'll do summary over 5 days in case it can be helpful: Day 1: She was slightly weaker and wobbly, nothing concerning. Day 2: I decided to give her dewormer and deworm the whole flock, just in case. About 2 hours after deworming...

Hello BYC fam! We are first time chicken tenders and sometimes have no idea what's happening when things go wrong. Earlier today I noticed Pippa, our 3 month old black maran pullet, crouch-walking. My first search advised to check her feet for swells or bumblefoot, and in her raw, dirty...

Hello, This is MaryKate and Thomas. We live in PA in a suburb near Philly in a chicken friendly town. We got 6 chickens (they are only a few months old and not laying eggs yet). They are hens, 2 wyandottes, to cochins, and 2 amerecaunas. They are only a few months old. One of the wyandottes is...

Mary is a 8 week old white hen and she seems to have suddenly fallen ill or is maybe just really tired. I had her out in the yard, where she normally hangs out multiple times a day, and she seemed playful like her normal self. I put her back in her house (which is heated) and when I went back...

I noticed yesterday that my 14 week old Araucana hen was acting like she was OCD or like she has a crazy case of ADHD. She runs around like she does not know where she is going and she keeps her head down pecking the ground for food at all times. She was fine a few days ago. Now out of the...
