Hello all! This is my first post on BYC, and while I would have preferred it to be on a happier note, after two weeks of worrying, I feel I need to seek all the advice I can.
We have a 2.5 year old Khaki Campbell duck who lives with one other Khaki and two Anconas, all females and all the same...
Hi I have one hen in my flock of 14 who I got about two weeks ago. I noticed at the beginning of the week she regurgitated/vomited 1x a night - she would do it just one time and then act totally fine? Tonight I was looking at her and one of her eyes was just a little goopy and her beak looked a...
Okay So.
I have this red sexlink. She turned 1 year last month and has been acting pretty normal as of 4/18 and by normal, I mean she is digging, scratching, exploring, trying to get into new spots. Part of this involved digging under our deck last week. Part of it's involved getting into the...
I raise calls and one of my girls, about five years old, can’t hold herself up. She’ll walk a bit and then collapse. She doesn’t have any sort of infection on her feet as far as I can tell, nor does she have any lost strength (even in the legs) or appetite. When she does walk, it doesn’t look...
Hello, I have a sick hen who went downhill due to un untreated case of scaly leg mites. I didn't realize anything was wrong until one day she was just on the ground in the corner, she could barely walk, and had stopped eating. By the time I realized what was wrong with her, and started treating...
My baby Indian runner, about 6 days old, has some weird clear mucus coming out her nose. She was a little tired when I got home today, but still eating and drinking. It came out when I picked her up. What should I do, and is this normal?
Hi Everyone,
One of my rescue battery hens has been poorly for the past 5 days. She started by limping on one foot and then a day later took herself off into the coop and has since refused to walk. She won’t weight bear on either leg/foot now at all and for the past 4 days will not take water...

My female turkey has mycoplasma and her eyes are extremely swollen. I have tried giving her La200 and Nuflor. Nothing has helped her. What do you recommend to help her get over this?
Hi all,
Having a little panic here! One of my roosters has suddenly (in one day) become very lethargic. He is not eating or drinking. I have put him in a quarantine cage in my garage to keep him separate from my flock. He doesn't seem mucusy or coughing/sneezing, and doesn't have any obvious...
My quail seems to have swollen back claws (toes on the back of their feet) I’m not sure if the nails have come off or that the skin has swollen around them but they are not visible and the claw seems to be rather swollen compared to my other quails, what could this be and how would I fix it? I...
Hey there,
I've plagued this forum before with my particular duck problems, because I've had a rough go of it with my pekins. I'm just not sure what's going on or what to do. Here's a recap:
April, 2020: pick up 2 ducklings from TSC, Fluff and Quasi. Quasi suffers from wry neck early on, but...
Hi there,
This week my silkies were totally fine, and now they are both dead. One dropped down out of the blue yesterday, and this morning I found the other one dead. They have been so healthy, so idk what's going on. The only thing I did differently was added a little ACV to their water and...
I have a Buff Orpington about a year and half old and I’m worried there’s something wrong.
I noticed her crop isn’t extremely full lately like it usually is.
Her crown looks normal and she’s running out playing with the flock too.
She laid her last egg the beginning of December and then had...
I have a flock of 15 girls and about a week and half ago I found blood in stool and immediately treatment them all with Corid, I did the regular dose for 7 days and now I’m doing the half dose for another 7 days in water, some who looked a bit off got it for 3 days through syringe. I did not...
Hi, everyone -
I have a bit of a medical mystery, and I'm hoping someone here has some real-world experience with this.
I have an 18-month old RIR hen. She's always been in great health and a steady layer. Late in the summer, I noticed she had a lot of runny poop. But it was also very hot...
My Buff Orpington is about a year and a half and currently keeps getting dried blood under her nostrils. We also noticed she keeps scratching her nose with her claws as well.
Today she sneezed and clear snot came out. Should I be concerned or be doing anything more?!
Currently we started...
My hen is about a year and a half and we noticed a slight nose bleed! Nothing major like long drippings but we noticed dried blood by the base of her left nostril.
She’s a buff Orpington and the weather has dropped to the 30s but during the summer it’s usually 110.
Is it something to do with...
December 1st I noticed she would lay in the corner on the floor of the coop. I didn't see anything to be concerned. Later I noticed she had a limp. I thought
she may have been trampled. We have 2 guinea roosters that can play rough. I don't think they're bullies but they seem to be careless in...
Hi all. One of our bantam chicks has an eye infection. (What I think is conjunctivitis) I am putting her on an antibiotic and washing the eye out with warm water. Is there anything else I can do? Also, is it contagious or can she be reunited with the other chicks?
