I just had to help a chick hatch because she had something catching her beak leaving her unable to move to properly zip. when she pushed her way out the egg her organs were still unabsorbed. if i leave her separate from the other chicks is there a chance she will finish absorbing them...
When I came home tonight my young hen was standing in her pen with her eyes closed I called her and she didn’t move so I went in to get her. when I picked her up she didn’t make any noise, open her eyes or move. she lowered her head as if she was asleep and when I brought her in the house she...
I really need help don't know what to do next, thinking amputation but the vet is not available. If anybody knows a way to go about this please help. I've made more posts about my rooster with more information, but not much help as far as medical treatment for his foot. Here are the most recent...
I swear it’s just one thing after another.. yesterday I was throwing grass into the run for the chickens and noticed one of my hens Mocha going to eat it but never actually picking it up and eating it. I checked her all over and see nothing wrong on the outside but noticed she smelled strongly...
Hello, so it's been an ongoing battle treating my rooster's foot. He's got arthritis in his right leg, and on top of that he lost some toes due to frostbite this last winter. I've been dressing the wound since and it was looking better for a while, and he got around just fine, but recently it's...
My chicken is around three to four months old. We've been dealing with one (or multiple) predators harassing them for a week or so and I've been trying to narrow it down to what and how to stop it.
However, today I found one of my chickens hiding on a neighbour's window ledge screaming as if...
I don’t think it’s mites because I couldn’t find any eggs or mites, but she has huge chunks of feathers missing. It’s been pretty hot recently so I thought it was molting but I haven’t seen any pin feathers coming in. She’s been lethargic and very quiet, normally I can’t catch her but recently...
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...

A little information,
My uncle found a chicken and he knows that I have a few of my own so he asked if I wanted to take on a rescue chicken and of course I had to accept. from what he told me the chicken was in a wrecked car and was stuck onto the vehicle. The vehicle was going to be towed to a...
Help! My 3 year old RIR is sick! We have no idea what she is sick with! She has been eating and drinking but has been laying down a lot and her comb is a very pale color. She also has odd poop and keeps repeatedly getting a poopy butt. Does anyone know what she is sick with and what I should do...
I have a Wyandotte hen and a Americana hen who are both doing terribly. The Americana is going down hill very very quickly and the Wyandotte has been like this for a few days and has started eating and drinking a little again. But seems to have some facial paralysis or something, cant keep her...
I was checking my duck’s eggs as I do every night - candling them to see the growth. I picked one up and my thumb put a hole into it! I know I didn’t grab it hard so I think the eggshell was weak there or already a bit cracked.
The embryo is still alive and moving. Saran wrapped the egg and...

This chick hobbles around for food and water, but seems way less active and is laying down. I don't know if there's anything I can do for it but I want to save it. please help.
My Buff Orpington is about a year and a half and currently keeps getting dried blood under her nostrils. We also noticed she keeps scratching her nose with her claws as well.
Today she sneezed and clear snot came out. Should I be concerned or be doing anything more?!
Currently we started...
