I can’t seem to figure out what is going on with my girl.
She is 3 years old, has access to oyster shells looks and acts perfectly fine, until she’s getting ready to lay an egg. Then she seems sick and lethargic with no appetite for a day until she lays a soft shelled egg. Then she seems ok...
My sweet hen is about 4 years old, and around 3 days ago she has not been feeling so well. Her symptoms include:
- lethargic and sitting a lot
- not wanting to interact with her two other hens
- drank a lot yesterday, but is barley today
- watery poop (maybe this was from yesterday drinking a...
Please help :(( I joined this site in desperate help for my hen, Yoli. She is very weak, mostly lays down and when she tries to walk she tends to fall. She hasn’t been eating the best the past two days nor drinking water. She tries eating and drinking on her own but she gets too tired or falls...
I have a 9mo old satin silkie who lost her best friend a week ago. Her bestie was fumbling all over herself, loss of balance, would fall and couldn’t get up, then started walking backward, threw up when i picked her up and had green diarrhea- took her to er on NYE and the vet didn’t even look at...
I have three bantams who are almost a year old, one of them named Athena can't get up a low sloped ramp, low roost, wont eat/drink just in general very lethargic. I haven't added any new birds to my flock, I've tried diatomacious earth, save a chick, and electrolytes. none of which are helping...
This is a very long post compared to most of the help questions I've seen. If I can get advice I would really appreciate it.
All right so this is my smallest of four Welsummers: The Runt. She's always been smaller than her sisters but she has a pretty active personality and is extremely vocal...
Hi. My chicken is a 4 month old Colombian rock cross. She was fine yesterday but today I found her hiding and lethargic. In this kind of a scenario I would assume is coccidious and treat with Corid. However when I picked her up, I accidentally tipped her and yellow drool dribbled out. That made...
My 4 year old chicken, Rona, has been sick for about a week. Her comb was fading and falling over and her crop was very enlarged (about the size of an orange). It was firm and sloshy. Her poop was very watery with some bright green. I brought her inside and put her on water only and some oil...
I have a flock of turkeys, 2 brothers are the Tom’s, 1 of them had a severe mite infestation, no one else had mites but I treated everyone. My problem Tom has been mite free for 2 weeks now but he is just becoming more and more lethargic. I see zero wounds, none of the other turkeys show any...

Hey Y'all!
About 4 weeks ago we lost a laying hen. Looking back she seemed to have been lethargic and not eating as well. I looked in her mouth and she had what we think was canker. (I'm not sure). We watched all the girls (9) closely. In the meantime we built a new chicken run in the barn...
Hello. We have a chicken who has been in the house for about a week and a half now. She had worms, and we dewormed her, but also had a gurgle/wet breathing, only mouth breathing. She was very lethargic and underweight. We determined it may be CRD so we gave her 0.8mL oxytetracycline, and another...
My hens seem to be have something plaguing them over time. This is the second hen that has a poppy butt for a while and then becomes lethargic. We ended up culling the other after an injury from a neighbors dog so unsure how she would have turned out- this was over a month ago and no one has...
Hello all!
When I was letting the chickens out this morning I noticed my hen, Stacy, was laying on the ground in the coop. This wasn’t particularly unusual, but she is a percher. While the other chickens were happily eating grass, she was standing underneath my deck. Her posture was awkward...
Hi all. I have a 2 week old leghorn chick who is very lethargic and has an impacted crop. I’ve been giving water with rooster booster every hour and massaging. She is still laying around, seems too weak to walk. She was great yesterday and then this morning wouldn’t get up. She has had two small...
I know i said i was abandoning this site because the weak chick i was trying to help ended up dying due to me falling asleep for 3 hours but now I have an injured hen.
My hen, Bowie, has been in a relatively muddy pen for a bit because we're building a 2nd one (for rotating) they never had an...

Hi all
Posting on behalf of my father. He hatched a small brood of chickens and they seem to be doing great. They are in the greenhouse with the ability to roam and scratch around but still have a lamp and warm safe spot to sleep.
We had a bad storm here last night and looks like their water...
I have a close to 3 year old hen who has a history with soft eggs. On Sunday I noticed she had a dirty butt and some poop on her feathers around her vent so I gave her a bath. She was fine until yesterday morning when I found her on the roost bar in the coop in the late morning. I got her out...
