    Depressed pullet

    This is my girl Kiesha. She’s a Blue Australorp and a little over 4 months old. Yesterday I noticed her withdrawn from the others and not eating breakfast (their usual starter feed mixed with layer feed to start integrating them to adult food). This was unusual but I dismissed it as the pecking...

    My hen has been lethargic all day long, I am worried she is egg bound, or has some other bad problem.

    Yesterday, 9/13/2023, my hen Mary went into the nesting box at around 7 o'clock am, and stayed for about an hour but did not lay her egg. For the rest of the day she acted as if she had no eggs to lay, but at around 7 in the evening, about thirty minutes before my three hens, Bertha, Percy, and...

    Hi all, This morning I found one of my hens laying the their run area and she didn't get up to come over and get treats. She seemed a bit out of it, so I went in. All the chickens ran by her and she still didn't move. I picked her up, and she felt very limp in a tired way as if she didn't care...

    Lethargic, Pale comb Chicken

    I have a 11 month old RIR that has been lethargic today. Comb and waddles seem pale and cooler temp than usual, tail is droopy.

    My 1.5 year old Chicken is lethargic, has swollen crop?

    Brownie is a 1.5 yr old Buckeye who has always had pasty butt issues. She looks terrible in general right now because she is dead smack in the middle of a full molt, which makes this extra worse because I have to handle her. She is not standing well, and is very lethargic. Usually she is the...

    Oddly lethargic hen, feet seem to be bothering her a lot.

    I noticed something off about one of my hens this morning when she was super hesitant to go out of the coop. Eventually she did go out after 4 minutes of just standing there and staring, and ate and drank and did her mostly normal morning routine. One of my other hens was being super aggressive...
