    Hello, I will start this off by saying this is NOT my flock, but a friends. I told her I would reach out here to get some opinions. She started off by telling me that she had a hen that she thought had sour crop and she gave it ACV and it died in the process. A few days later she was...

    Large crop, can't stand up and is unvalanced

    This afternoon when I had gone to shut my chickens in for the night, I noticed that one of my silkies was walking oddly. I brought her inside and she could no longer support herself and keeps flopping on to her side. We checked her crop and that was very large. We looked online and saw that...

    Confused about this hen and what is wrong with her. Maybe she is dying?

    I am at a loss on how to proceed. Here are the pertinent facts: Nearly one year old EE hen. Normal laying other than reduced frequency compared to all my other hens. Maybe 2-3 eggs per week. Monday had what seemed to be a bound egg - then laid the egg. Egg was normal. Rebounded for an...

    Please help my Silkie Showgirl. She can’t walk.

    Hi! My hen/rooster (I am unsure of the gender since she is only four months old, but it may be a hen), who is a Silkie-Turken-Showgirl, has been acting rather strange. When I opened up the chickens, I found her laying down in the middle of the coop. She usually sleeps on a roost with another...

    Respiratory or Gapeworm?

    I have a chicken that was almost gasping for air last night for around 10 minutes. I brought her inside, she ate a scrambled egg and seemed to be okay after that. I am worried that it’s a respiratory infection, I looked down her throat and could not see any worms. Unsure of what to do and what...

    Chicken has pale comb and less active

    One of my hen is having pale comb. She is less active, not foraging as much as the other hens, like sometimes she just stands there alone doing nothing and just staring. She drinks and eats, but she feels kinda light. She is still alert, it was not easy to catch her. I checked her skin, I don’t...

    Hi everyone today i’m absolutely devastated. Another one of my hens is acting sick and lethargic and I have no idea what’s wrong with my flock. For some backstory, two months ago I had two chickens die from an unknown illness. They were both acting lethargic and got worse as the days passed...

    Chicken is leaking out of bum, help!

    CONTEXT: recently 2 of our chickens died, leaving one hen, so we rescued 3 more chickens to keep her company. The 3 new girls have been settling in okay, aside from being bullied by the old hen, which we are trying to work on. They are not all laying yet - maybe one or two of them, but we are...

    From the last few posts, I have seen odd symptoms in my sapphire gem hen, Rocky. This morning, she was reluctant to come out of the coop. It looked like she is constantly trying to swallow something, and when I set her down to eat, a yellow fluid would dribble out of her beak when she would...

    Not sure if we're dealing with Sour Crop... UPDATE: Yup, sour crop.

    Hi all! Not having great luck with my first little backyard flock… My chickens came home on Wednesday 4/27, and as soon as the next day I noticed our Easter Egger doing some weird movements with her head & neck - sort of squiggle stretching it out long, and opening her beak. I was out of town...

    Soft, broken eggshell

    My cream leg bar/leghorn, Baby, has not been herself lately. She’s been less interested in scratch, isolates herself more than usual and stopped laying about 5 weeks ago. She normally lays massive blue eggs, often with a double yolk. She went into the nesting box today for about an hour, but...
