drunk

I have some Golden Wyandottes and one of them is sick. She is just over a year old She is the only affected bird in the coop Bedding is pine shavings and yard clippings I have her isolated They mainly eat Dumor layer pellets, with some grain scratch thrown into their yard sometimes. This...

Hey, I’m currently treating my flock for worms and what I thought is coccidiosis, my rooster is on treatment for 5 days he improved a little, he doesn’t have explosive diarrhoea with blood in it anymore (he used to), his legs doesn’t shake as they did before but he’s still weak, he used to fall...

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...

I have a flock of 4 month old crevocuers, mixed with 3 month old ameraucanas. 2 weeks ago all of my flock appeared happy, and healthy. Then in one afternoon one of my roosters started swaying, falling over, and couldn't stand. I suspected snake bite because the symptoms literally appeared in...

My wife discarded about a gallon of watermelon last yesterday. A group of seven juvenile game chickens consumed almost all of it. They went to roost early, did not go as high up into trees, and were not in the usual groupings based on normally hanging with siblings. A couple were roosting in...

We ordered 2 dozen fertilized eggs from McMurray Hatchery to hatch in my daughter 2nd grade class. We successfully hatched 9. Out of those nine, we currently only have two that are still alive (2 were roosters). We lost our last pullet earlier this week and we have one that has always been a...

I have a three week old duckling that has been wobbly since I got her at 2 days old. She doesn't seem hurt. She acts normal except for the wobble. Is this normal? And will she eventually get better? Many thanks!

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...

I have a 16 week old chicken that started acting drunk, now can only lay down. Legs out every which way. Will flop around and can only flop from one side of a plastic tub to the other. Still eats and drinks a ton though. I have separated her from the rest of the flock. Lots of food, probiotics...

ok so most of my hens stopped laying shortly after we brought in a rescued hen. I assumed they were mad at the new addition plus the weather has been weird. Then I noticed an excess of barred rock feathers so I assumed they were molting - and one in particular looks much smaller and you can see...

I don't have pictures, but I did see one in action so I'll do my best to explain symptoms. My BFF bought 25 California whites from a local "breeder". Fairly recently they have been dropping like flies. The first symptom is a droopy tail. Most of the birds have upright tails, but the ones who...

Hello! A week ago I found my 6-month Ancona hen falling over and acting super drunk. My out-of-state chicken-loving cousins advised me to remove her from the rest of the flock to see how she does, but she has not gotten better. She is eating and drinking fine, and is laying normally (she's one...

I got up this morning and went to check on my flock and Mr. President was not with his girls. I found him in the coop. He's not able to balance. Almost like he's drunk.
