    Respiratory issues?

    Hey, if someone could respond asap that would be great. My old english game hen (~9 years old) has had noises while mostly beak closed breathing (if open, not super wide, just slightly), she isn't lethargic which is good, she is still trying to be active and alert, she did have foam like bubbles...

    Cuddly Senior (6.5yrs) NHR Hen In Need of Golden Years Home - SLC, Utah

    Cherub is an active, curious, older lady who LOVES to be cuddled, and is in need of a new home. Since her companion recently passed, she's the last of the flock, and unfortunately due to predator load and the possibility of moving, getting new chicks/chickens is not feasible at this time. I'd...

    Are these symptoms of impacted crop?

    This is my nearly-5 month old hen. She is usually very active and hungry, but she has been very lethargic and has lost her appetite for the most part (only eats some food that is hand given). She is still alert and can run if necessary to but prefers to walk. Same thing with talking, she doesn't...

    Sick chicken?

    I don’t have any photos at the moment but my chicken is sort of hunched over / shoulders fluffed up, fatigued (moving slowly and barely running), has a lot of dry ‘food’ and I believe regurgitated spit on her feathers under her beak and around her neck. I think it might be digestive related...

    Gout Treatment

    Hi Backyard Chicken friends, I suspect I have a chicken with gout, and I've read that Tart Cherry extract capsules may help. I can't seem to find a proper dosage. Does anyone know how many mg I can safely give my hen per day? Clementine is an almost six-year-old Ameraucana. Thanks!

    Scared hen not opening eyes or eating

    This morning I found my hen with her eyes closed. Even when I touched her face she kept them shut. She's always been scared of me, so she tries to hide when I'm near, but she clearly doesn't feel like moving much. She's so skinny, empty crop, and won't eat the eggs I've offered. It's the time of...

    20 week chickens pellets or hens?

    I still don’t know their gender! There hasn’t been any crowing, Piper even had vent gleet and expelled what may have been egg material, Piper and Neutral are both vocal and do peck sometimes for food and Pecky is on the bottom for the hierarchy. I included a bunch of photos hoping that would...
