I thought about posting this and decided to because I wish I knew some of the things I know now and can always learn more about having chickens 🐓 I’m speaking on chickens 🐔 but a lot of this might help other animals and you if you struggle at times. I started having chickens in 2020 along with...

Hi all, We have a sweet hen in our coop who is egg-bound, and the egg has broken. I can see the tip of the thinned-shelled broken egg sticking out of her vent. Her comb is pale and looks frostbitten as well (unrelated or not?). She cannot stand, is incredibly weak, and looks at death's door...

One of my chickens has a very bloody vent. A couple of weeks ago I had a chicken from the same coop have a blowout, and she died. This chicken--her name is Duds-- has been laying bloody eggs the past several days, and nothing I did seemed to be helping. She now has what looks like a blood clot...

Hi, One of my chickens has been suffering from egg yolk peritonitis for a while now. Despite our efforts, our vet has told us that she will most likely have to be put down - which we are planning to do soon :( She struggles to walk and lay down and is clearly in pain. I have noticed she doesn’t...

My flock consists of a variety of different breeds. However in the past month I have lost 3 silkies with a 4th on the way. Its the same pattern of events. The bird will start to show signs of weakness and can't keep up with the rest of the flock yet tries like hell (slow movements, easily...

A little backstory: I have a Lavender Orpington hen that was born June 2019. She was vaccinated for Mereks by the hatchery before being shipped. On September 2020 she was attacked by a wild animal and survived bites on her back and neck. With a lot of TLC, she was better and acting normal with...

Hello everyone, My Rosie was helped 2 weeks ago...You can read about it by clicking --> here My Rosie was fine laying and an empty crop, up until Saturday morning.... That morning she had an impacted crop and was acting slow. So, I automatically restricted her free ranging, gave her olive oil...

We have (4) six month old hens and we live in Southwest Florida. Yesterday, towards the end of the day, Goldie (our sweet Easter Egger) started closing her eyes while she was out with the other girls running around the yard. She would be fine one minute and then look like she was dozing off...

Hello Friends, I am new to this forum but I recently found a very sick wild rooster (I'm in Hawaii). He is lethargic an d wont eat or drink by himself. He just sits and rest but he is reactive to noise an me touching or picking him up. He has black spots on his crown and it looks like he...

My easter egger laid an egg without shell today. Now she is in really bad shape: keep drooping her head and move very slowly. I found her dropping containing yolk! I attached two pictures here. She has been healthy all the time, and all of a sudden she is like this. No idea what happened! Please...

Hi all, I manage a property & with the job I've been tasked with taking care of the chickens here. I've fallen in love with them over the past year but don't know much about chicken care. I did have a vet come & check them for general wellbeing. She said they were all in good shape with no mites...

What is wrong with Red?!!? I tried to take a video, it won’t allow me to load it. She’s basically gasping for air. Kinda like agonal breathing but she’s still active and alive. Sounds like bronchitis but no discharge from eyes or beak. She’s 5 years old. She has been staying in the coop...
