I was on a walk with my dog and spotted this beautiful chicken on the sidewalk sleeping. I started to feed it yesterday and giving it water. I checked on it today and she is more mobile yet hiding and sleeping in the bush of these palms. It's sneezing and has puffy tired looking eyes. More...
Hi, I am new here and would appreciate any feedback more experienced chicken folk can give me.
I have a red sex link that didn’t seem well four days ago. I went to let my flock out and feed them in the morning and she was standing still and puffed up and would not move. She is eight months old...
Hello BYC, I’m back.
One of my girls, Chica, 3 years old, is acting a little weird. This afternoon, my mom spotted her lying in the middle of lawn out in the open. Now that I think about it, she was laying down quite a bit yesterday too. Of course, I didn’t think much of it then because all the...
So I noticed that one of my chickens is very unsteady. She cant stand up straight without falling over to one side. Because of this, she stayed in her coop all day and doesn't eat or drink. Her other symptoms are head bobbles/wobbles like a bobble head toy. She turns her head to see me but her...
This chick had to manually be hatched. It is 6 days old. Today I noticed that it was stumbling around and it's crop was filled with gas. It hasn't eaten all day but it is drinking. Any advice??
Hi all,
I have a sick chicken on my hands and she's my favorite girl. It all started almost a week ago when I noticed her sitting in the run when everyone else was out and about. When I looked more closely, she had white stuff in the corners of both eyes. So, I rinsed out her eyes and started...
I'm sorry this is as much back explanation that may be useful. I am in a frantic getting space ready for my girl, Marilyn. So several hours ago, I noticed her neck pulsating. she was standing alone by the water when I let the others out. she didn't come. This never happens, she is the most...
I seen my one Barnevelder eye looked as though she was crying with a tear drop in the corner of her eye. Her other eye looks totally fine. The next day it had more of a tear kind of foamy in it. Attached are photos does anyone know what this is and what I should do? Is it contagious?
Earlier this evening, I checked on my babies as always. I immediately noticed my gorgeous frizzle was barely moving. I thoroughly inspected her. I brought her inside to dropper-feed her electrolyte-infused water (made just for chickens).
She is eating and drinking, but she’s quite...
I went out to the coop and all my babies came and greeted me as usual except for one. I went in crunch time to pick her up and she didn’t even flinch. I’m holding her now trying to keep her warm I think she’s asleep which is great but I don’t know what’s wrong with her and I’m not sure what to...
Hello, I recently found out the one of my chickens has become sick. He was staying in a different location where roosters are aloud. He was brought back to my house because he was having trouble balancing. He was very hungry and thirsty when I gave him food and water, and ate almost a whole...
