Hello, we have a 9 month Olive egger that as of yesterday was showing symptoms of egg bound, she was limping on one side while penguin huddling and her vent is pulsating, we soaked her in warm Epsom salt twice and oiled up her vent, I tried massaging her and feeling for anything but I couldn't...
Over the past few years, My muscovy hen has been laying eggs since somewhere around 2022, I have never experienced this issue but today her poop seemed to be oddly very similar to yellow egg yolk; I checked her vent and it also is running the same fluid. Her vent doesn’t look extremely swollen...
I think one of my hens swallowed a pit from a plum…
My mom threw a whole bunch of produce outside and when I went out they had gotten into it.
I noticed a few plums in the mix, too, and my alarm bells went off. I felt around my chickens crops— and sure enough, something was very hard and...

My beloved pet rooster I just found sitting down by my house sitting down in the grass.
I went to pick him up and move him to his coop.
He is now standing but is shaking from head to toe.
He has had bumble foot for about a month. I've tried treating it more than once, but it wouldn't come out...
Hey y'all, unfortunately one of my girls, Cupcake, isn't doing so well. Admittedly I have not had much time for the hens with everything that's going on in my personal life, but today I was out with them and I noticed that Cupcake, my Buff Brahma, was lying in the roots of a tree and not moving...
My golden comet chicken, almost 5 months old, was suddenly very lethargic this morning. She didnt run out of the coop with the rest of the birds, and just stayed on her roosting bar. She doesnt usually let me touch her, but shes letting me pick her up and inspect her without complaint now.
Her...
I noticed my chicken had an impacted crop on Friday. I thought we were about past it earlier, the doctor gave us Cisapride to assist with crop motility. But now, I think she has sour crop. It’s like a balloon filled with air. I’m so worried because she hasn’t had the ability to eat much of...
I noticed my chicken’s crop hadn’t cleared 48 hours ago. She is a 6mo old buff. Since then, I have been massaging it frequently with coconut and olive oil, I tube fed 15ml water twice, I gave 200ml docusate sodium, I’ve tried everything I’ve seen that could be a solution. I thought it could be...

Hello, Please help with my 18 week old Easter Egger who has a saggy crop.
She is one of 8 EEs we got in April and are the first chickens we’ve ever had; I’ve never experienced this before.
Im not sure how distinguishable it is from the picture but I noticed the crop hanging down and looking...
Hi. My chicken is a 4 month old Colombian rock cross. She was fine yesterday but today I found her hiding and lethargic. In this kind of a scenario I would assume is coccidious and treat with Corid. However when I picked her up, I accidentally tipped her and yellow drool dribbled out. That made...
Hello! Can I give my adult turkey hen diluted Tiagard 12.5% orally via a syringe, getting the liquid carefully down her throat? She won't drink the medicated water even with sugar or with apple juice. If I can do this, could someone give me the dosage and dilution? She weighs about 8-10 pounds...

I need help :( my sweet girl is experiencing what I believe to be some kind of vent prolapse but I’m not sure the cause. I’m doing Epsom baths and electrolytes in her water. I haven’t fed her in 24 hours because I saw some people say to not do food and let her body rest...
So my hen is almost 2 years old. She's normally an active runner and a healthy layer. She hasn't been moving much for the past day and a half and there's definitely an egg in there that she hasn't laid. I've tried all the usual things for an egg-bound hen. We've done a warm Epsom salt soak...
My egg laying and normally very spunky hen has taken a weird turn today. This afternoon she was her normal, active self but when I came out to feed them dinner I couldn’t find her. I ended up finally finding her under a bush not moving with her tail feathers drooping to the ground. She seems to...
