drinking lots of water

My two-year-old lavender Orpington hen, Crystal, has been acting odd since yesterday. She seems to be about a normal weight. She is acting lethargic, and has been since yesterday. She is walking slowly, and she kept closing her eyes yesterday, like she was falling asleep. She has also been...

I have three Americana hens who are all about 5 to 6 years old. But I noticed just today that one of them has a lot of clear brownish liquid coming from her beak like she's throwing up. I called my vet and she said to call back in 24 hours if she is still doing it, cause there is a chance she is...

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...

I recently got a new group of adult hens. I kept them separate from my flock for 7 days with a look-but-don't-touch fence method, and then incorporated them. Everyone seemed to be fine. But recently one of the new ones is acting very strange. She's lethargic for much of the day, but when...

Just last week I learned the many health benefits of apple cider vinegar, and wanted to see if my flock would respond in any way. So first of course, I researched if it was ok to do so - They weren't allergic or anything- and all the articles I read say that nothing negative was reported, so I...

My chicken has stopped laying since monday so now hasn't done an egg for 7 days and now her poo's are runny and watery. she also isn't eating as much corn and pellets but drinks lots of water in the morning instead. I got 3 new chickens 11 days ago which made me think she was just grumpy so was...

Our turkey (bronze, female, long legged, no idea age but not young) has been a bit wobbly the last couple of weeks. The other day she suddenly couldn't stand up, just kept rocking back and forth, overbalancing and falling over. We took her to the vet who confirmed there was no physical injury...

She's a Speckled Sussex. Her appetite is excellent. She drinks a LOT (is excessive thirst an indicator of an issue?). She's active-I even saw he fly about 10 feet in the run yesterday. She got about 4 feet off the ground. She's with two 13 week old Welsummers. They have 55 sq feet of run, shade...
