Hello everyone,
I have a 2 year & 9 month old leghorn hen that just started to show signs of sickness 1 day ago. I'm pretty sure she is not eggbound because she did lay an egg yesterday. She did not lay an egg today though (usually she lays daily). She is still eating and drinking but not as...
Okay so my rooster just recently died and i’m not sure why. He’s around a year old and had been acting weird the past few days. He was acting lethargic and tired. I didn’t notice him not eating/drinking but I don’t think he was doing much of either. A few days ago i decided to take a look at him...

Hello everyone, I randomly came out to my backyard to check on my rooster and I found that one of his spur's went missing/broken and is bleeding. I'm assuming that his spur got stuck somewhere and therefore it broke. Does anyone know any cures or treatment to this? Please let me know ASAP if you...

My EE bantam roo started acting off about a week ago. He seemed to have less interest in interacting with the other chickens, which is very unusual for him. It started getting worse a few days ago so I brought him inside. He’s eating only a bit, and i’m giving him water through an eye dropper...
My rooster has recently started to gasp for air and hasn’t been eating, I’ve been giving him orally water to keep him hydrated. His been inside as he is recovering from an attack. We did get him some company just like the vet had suggested, and now I am so devastated seeing him like this. Please...
A few days ago I noticed one of my chickens eyes was swelled really bad. I looked at it closer, and there was fluid leaking out that had formed a yellowish crust around her eye.
I immediately cleaned around the eye with a wet washcloth and inspected her eye. I cannot even see her eye because it...
