Hi all! I have a hen named Daisy and she is very very deathly ill. She is 7 years old and grew Rooster plumage, spurs, and comb over this summer.
Then a few days ago she began acting sick. She wasn’t walking much, acted sleepy and when she tipped her head down she would yank it...
Hello! I just got my second batch of baby chicks, they’re silkies (plus two roosters of other breeds) and one of them has been off ever since we got them. She doesn’t stop crying unless she’s asleep, I hardly saw her eat, drink, or get up from under the brooder for the first day, picked her up...
Hello everyone, I am absolutely heart broken this morning. I just got two young Polish Pullets on July9th. Suspected age orotund 7-12 weeks old. They have been in a separate run while I integrate them in my flock. This morning, Ebony (one of the Polish Pullets) was found dead in the coop. Both...
Yesterday we noticed blood in one of our chicks stool. We gave her corid in her water, assuming it was considiosis. Today, she is very lethargic. She will open her eyes or stand up occasionally, but will always lay back down. We got her to drink a good amount of water with corid in it as well as...
I have a 3 week old chick that I thought was dead but I picked it up and it is stretching out it’s neck and opening it’s mouth non stop.
It’s eyes remain closed almost always. It’s poofed out all it’s feathers. No weird poops that I’ve seen. Vent looks clean.
What could be wrong and what...
My rooster has been lethargic for days and I just noticed tiny white bugs on his face. He can barely stay awake and is not doing well at all. What can I give him to save him??
Hi! Ruby has three bumps on her foot. She refuses to use her foot at all and tries to walk with just one foot and spreading out her wing for balance.
I don’t know the severity of her bumblefoot. Should I treat just with epsom salt baths, or is it sever enough that I should surgically remove it...
Hello everyone,
I have one chicken that needs pain medication. I give it to her in a blueberry. Today, another chicken took the blueberry from her and ate the medication. I got another pill, another blueberry, but one chicken out of the run, gave the chicken who needs it her meds. The other...
Hi - I have 7 mixed chicks that are 8 weeks old. They just moved outside with their sisters (separated of course). I just found one poo that looks like blood is maybe in it? Just this one and it looks like tomatoes almost but they haven’t eaten anything other than grass, dirt, whatever they...
I’ve been having issues with my pekin. She/he has a niacin deficiency that I have been treating with nutritional yeast and 1ml liquid b orally. It seems like her legs are getting really bad. Tonight while I was giving her the liquid b I found these two spots near her legs. I am fearful her legs...
My chicken is 4 years old and has started to decline over the last two months. I quarrentined her and took her to the vet where she was diagnosed with coccidiosis. I treated her with 2tsp of Corid per gallon of water for 5 days. She has made little improvement l, even with vitamin supplement and...
Hi!
I have eight chick babies that are approximately 6 weeks old. (based on their size/feathers) theyre all doing great except for one. She seems to be having really bad balance issues. She keeps falling over to her left side and it takes her a second to get up. It happens every time she starts...
Just picked up 5 new chickens, not sure of age but they’re probably 8-10 week old silkies. I have isolated the one with blood. This is what the blood looks like. It looks like a blood clot too. Can someone help me/give me tips on what to do? Another chicken had green poop as well… again, I just...
I have an emergency! my Hovabators (still air) temperature is spiking up to 106 so I plugged in my Hovabator Genesis 1588 (electronic thermostat, forced air) and it started beeping as soon as I plugged it in! I don’t know what to do, I’m on day 20 of incubation and have no other incubator to put...
My chicken has a pale comb and wattle. She is not eating and I am really worried, another chicken in my flock died with the same symptoms a few weeks ago.
She is about 2 years old, she is a golden comet. I did notice that maybe he had loose stool, like more watery than usual. But not sure. She...
Hello everyone,
I am from Central Massachusetts and I have 4 hens that are about one and a half years old. I have my hens in a large over ez chicken coop, it’s been altered to have more ventilation at the top. The coop normally only stays about 5-10 degrees warmer than outside in the winter...
It’s day 21 since I’ve had them in the incubator and they got to 110° but I was told that it was a short time and it would be ok since it takes longer than that to heat the inside. So I’ve had trouble candling these coturnix quail eggs and in half of them under several lights I can’t see...
Help my incubator got to 110°F it got to that in 30 mins before I found out. So it wasn’t on that the whole time but I’m really scared I killed them. They were my first time incubating coturnix quail and I have had trouble the whole time. I couldn’t candle until day 8 or 9 for some of em and...
We have a young lady who is acting normal but losing weight at an alarming rate. She seems to have really started losing weight once winter hit, we live in Canada and she is not a cold hardy breed, I’ve noticed that she has less down than most of our other birds.
She a mottled Houdan, average...
