    Hello all! I noticed my 2 year old girl has bumblefoot around stage 3-4. It seemed to come out of the blue! I’ve read various articles about treatment and began epsom bath soaks the last 2 days and put a bandage with prid on today to see if I can loosen it up and pull it out in a few days of...

    I have a hen who is acting sick - puffy, lethargic, etc. But, she has some notable symptoms: I recently realized she is the only one who is not laying. She was the first to go into molt in October and now the last to start laying again. And the last 2 days, I noticed she has been getting winded...

She hasn’t been moving much — shes very lethargic and picking at food and sleeping most of the day. We’ve been giving her...

    Chicken died overnight after day of lethargy, bad egg & yellow poo

    Hi. I'm heartbroken. I found Trixie, one of my Rhode Island Reds, dead in her nesting box this morning when I went to let them out of their coop. She had been acting normal but yesterday began acting lethargic, walking gingerly, not running when I offered food. While watching her I saw her...

    My chicken is pale, lethargic, and is staying in the coop. HELP!!

    My chicken has a pale comb and wattle. She is not eating and I am really worried, another chicken in my flock died with the same symptoms a few weeks ago. She is about 2 years old, she is a golden comet. I did notice that maybe he had loose stool, like more watery than usual. But not sure. She...

    HELP! Sudden weight loss and death in hens

    I’m heart broken that I have to make this post but I really don’t want to lose my girl… About a week or so ago I noticed that my BCM hen, Poppy, was very underweight. Thought maybe it was due to her moulting (she’s 11 months old) but she’s gotten progressively worse over this past week, she’s...

    Possible Sour Crop?

    My friend has a young hen that's been very lethargic for the last week... They had originally treated her for sour crop; massaging her, giving her an antifungal, garlic water and some B12- she showed signs of improvement for a while but she's back to being lethargic. She doesn't have an appetite...

    Hi, I have a buff orpington hen and she is just turned four years old. Over the past month or so, my chicken will not eat as much as usual, and sits away from the rest of my chickens on occasion.

    Newbie here! What's wrong with my chicken?

    My Buff Orpington is very lethargic, her eyes are just wanting to be closed, and seems pretty sleepy. And kind of depressed looking. She also has pretty bad balance. Today she had white/green poop. I'm new to all of this. What should I do? What can I give her to make her feel better?

    HELP! Sick hen, again! Lethargy, smelly poop, puffed up, possible swollen abdomen...

    I’ve been having a run of sick hens lately (ugh), but my recent girl seems to be the worst so far. During my past few weeks of isolating a couple of them, one evacuated a clump of roundworms ( :sick ), and so I suspected this was the issue for the three I am/was concerned about (laying...

    My girl is lethargic, molting and not eating or drinking

    I raise all of my chickens as pets, eggs are secondary. Anyway, Skye is about four now, an Orpington. She's my favorite and my oldest girl since her sisters have passed. She is normally quite rambunctious and picks on the others but has always been gentle and cuddlier to me. She's going through...
