    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...

    Adult duck had seizures but miraculously recovered, what was wrong with her?

    Hello. I have been a longtime reader on the duck forum but have never had an account or posted, so hopefully I’m doing this in the right place. Firstly, this is not urgent. I have owned ducks for quite some time, they are the loves of my life. I generally have a good sense of when one of them is...

    Lethargic, vomitting

    I have this hen who is around 1 year old. I found her on the floor unwilling to move and really lethargic. I gave her some water with electrolytes to see if it was dehydration, but when I picked her up she threw up a brown looking liquid that smells like poop. I’m not sure what to do.

    Seeking guidance for lethargic hen w/green poop!

    Hi, everyone! I’d love any advice on a sick hen in my flock! She started being lethargic yesterday and her poop was a deep green with some white.

    Three days ago, my 5 year old Black Marans chicken suddenly became really lethargic. She used to be really high energy and always run up to me when she sees me, but now she hangs back and moves very slowly. She stands or sits still with her eyes half closed, and has not been eating much. Her...

    I have 15 chickens, all 14 weeks old. It started with one of my Jersey Giant girls. She has been having some strange behavior. Standing still, letting the other chicks knock her over, barely startled by anything, and had a “droopy” look to her. She would also close her eyes. I physically...

    3 weak, lethargic, uncoordinated chicks! Help!

    A week ago, 6/12, i received 17 “rainbow assorted female” chicks by mail from Cackle hatchery. They were all doing wonderful at first, until yesterday morning I noticed 2 of them were stumbling around, using their wings to help them walk, and spending as much time sitting as they could. After...

    Lethargic rooster - poo thread

    I posted earlier about my sick roo, Tucker, but the thread fizzled out with folks telling me to change my flock feed and nothing much related to what might be causing my rooster to lose all his energy and his balance. He had had very watery poo for the last two days, but is drinking electrolyte...

    SOS SICK 14 WEEK OLD CHICKEN

    I walked out to the coop to see one of my cream leg bars just nestled up on the coop floor. They like to do that sometimes so I didn’t think much of it until she didn’t get up when I came next to her and touched her. I tried to get her to stand and she was weak and wobbly. She just seems SO...

    Help! Egg bound or worse??

    I found my hen in the nest box today falling asleep while squatting. This is strange to me because 1) she was falling asleep standing up and 2) I already got all my eggs accounted for today (although one might’ve been laid last night?). Not sure if she’s egg bound for a few days and the 4th one...

    Hi all, One of my favorite girls is sick and I’m wondering what to do. She’s lethargic, hasn’t eaten all day as far as I can tell, doing that little penguin stance and falling asleep standing up. When I brought her inside she started making gurgling sounds and some fluid (I couldn’t tell but...

    Lethargic Americana, with wet stinky butt.

    I just found one of my hen's who had recently dust bathed rather unresponsive. I picked her up, checked her back side and it is wet. I'm about to put her in an Epsom salt bath. What else can I do for her?
