    He needs to eat...

    Just another thread about my sick bantam Wyandotte rooster. How can I get some feed in my bird? He has been drinking A LOT of water. Like, he literally stands in front of the water cup and slowly drinks it until it's all gone. His breast feathers stay wet because of all the water he's...

    New hen has white around her eye

    I got these hens day before yesterday. They’re still in quarantine kept separate from my flock. This one has one eye that appears to have a white ring around it. It seems bigger today and I’m not sure if she can see out of it. What could cause this and should I be concerned about infecting my...

    recently hatched chick not doing well

    Long post ahead. Sorry! My sweet girl Franny hatched 5 baby chicks some time yesterday (I didn't realize til I got home that evening) and immediately I noticed that one of them wasn't doing to well. When Franny got up to get food, the others chased her everywhere she went, but this little one...

    Is my Turkey dying?

    Hello everyone. My beloved turkey has been standing in the same place for an hour, barely reacting to stimuli with her wings drooping. Her two poops have been clear. She is a broad breasted turkey and is a year and a half. She was eating and drinking just a few hours ago. She's breathing fine...

    Sudden illness, blood in bright green, slimy poop

    I posted a few days ago about my concerns with the intestinal linings and small blood globs in my chickens poop. Everything seemed to be Ok, nothing serious, until this morning. Out of nowhere, my one mama hen (who is also mid molt) was acting very sick, and had blood in her poop, which is...

    HELP PLEASE!

She’s standing straight up like a duck. Not eating with her sisters now but was this morning. She is a rescue and is...

    Not sure what is wrong with my chicken - egg bound? Mites? Other?

    Hi! I’ve read through many forum posts over the years but this is my first time posting. I have a ~2 year old hen and a week ago I noticed she couldn’t use her legs well (she was getting in and out of the coop for a day and a half before I caught her sitting outside weirdly). I brought her...

    Anyone know why this girl might be making this noise?

    I came out to check on my flock this morning and found this girl doing what think might be wheezing? I have quarantined her on our back patio in a dog kennel with some water - I'll get her food in a bit, but other than the sound, she's otherwise behaving normally. This is the first I've noticed...

    COVID means chores for me...

    So my mother tested positive for COVID yesterday. I decided to take a test to make sure I didn't get it from her since she may have had it for a few days before she got tested. Well, I saw the very faint red line, so I guess I have it :he My mom is a little bit of an anxious person and wants me...

    Coccidiosis or Something Else?

    I have 3YO Barred Rock Hen who is just plain not looking so hot. She is very dull looking compared to his sisters. Her comb and waddles are very pale (her comb is flopping over to side a bit too), she hardly moves. She walks very lamely, only a few feet or so, then just lies there, closing her...

    How good is good enough to put my chicken with heatstroke somewhat outside?

    I had a chicken with heatstroke a few days ago and she’s been residing in my room so I can keep a close eye on her. I also don’t have a dog crate to put her in… I pick up any droppings and disinfect the area daily, have an air purifier, and keep it well ventilated. Though, I will be away for...

    Helping a chicken with loneliness while in the henspital? **important**

    I have a hen that I had to pull from her flock to get her in the a.c. She squawks like crazy whenever I leave the room and gets really restless and uneasy and exerts herself physically. She’s taken a keen interest in a mirror I have on the ground (full length body mirror) and spends most of her...

    I’m a first-time chicken owner and I have my first sick hen. This experience feels so overwhelming and I feel so guilty for not educating myself better illnesses and injuries.I should’ve brought by her in the moment I saw things getting weird… but for some reason, I didn’t. I can’t help but...

    Help, sick RIR Roo.

    Our 17 week old RIR Roo lost his crow about a week ago. And then two days ago I noticed his breathing labored and wheezing. Today his comb has drastically darkened to a deep purple. He is separating himself from the flock and stretching his neck out with each breath. It seems to be getting...

    Adult duck trembling legs, won’t sit

    I have an adult duck (3-4 years old) whose legs are trembling a bit when she walks. I just noticed yesterday and made a note to keep an eye on her, and realized today that I haven’t seen her sit or lie down since then. She’s either walking around or just stands still to rest. Otherwise she seems...

    Rooster completely limp temporarily

    This is possibly one of the strangest things that has happened to me. I was out feeding the chickens. Everything's fine, everyone's eating, etc. I grab one of the waterers to refill it, which took maybe 2 minutes max, and when I brought it back to them, my ayam cemani rooster was lying on the...

    My 10 week old lavender Orpington has been off the last 3ish days. I checked her feet, legs, back feathers, vent and felt as best as i could around her and i don’t see anything visibly wrong with her. She’s been acting lame, not walking long and then laying down, kinda limping at times, a bit...
