I have (2) 3yr old Rocks that one is walking with legs wide apart, paste butt, not too interested in food, she keeps moving her rear end like she is pushing, fluffed feathers, and her belly is soft and mushy like water belly. Her poop has been thick green and white but yesterday the white...
Hello
In a previous post I made, I described the symptoms of our Polish Roo (about a year and a half old). For months, he has been very lethargic and his comb has been pale for some time now. We lost a cockerel about a month or two ago and he showed similar symptoms; he was the last bird we...
Hello
We have recently lost a young cockerel (4 months old), suddenly and out of the blue. I have already made a few threads about trying to figure this out, however I still am a bit confused on what did him in.

Our girl Maude would be celebrating her first birthday today, but I found her dead in the coop this morning. There were no signs or symptoms, and she laid an egg yesterday. We brought her to the university for a necropsy, but is it possible she died from stress? I cleaned the coop yesterday, we...

Last week we lost a four-year old Silver-Laced Wyandotte during a heatwave. She was acting perfectly normal the morning of the day she died, had been laying consistently, and was eating and drinking well. The pictures here are those that I took during a quick look inside of her. I was mainly...
