lethargic chicken

First off, one of my chickens got sick last week. I saw her one day sitting on the floor of the run in the corner and breathing heavy. Her comb was very purple. When I picked her she has light as a feather. I brought her inside and she wasn’t eating at all or drinking any water, she wasn’t...

Hello! :) I have a pair of Show Silkies about 8 mths old. They are very lethargic, coughing and snoting🤧. Won't open eyes all the way. I can feel how bad they feel. Started with Corvid 5 day treatment. Didn't help, picked up VetRx added to water for 5 days no corvid. Poor things are getting...

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...

This is Petra and Cammi, my two cream legbars. Recently, over the past month or two, Petra has been developing some odd symptoms. I hope you can help me figure it out. First, she was laying down all the time, tail tucked, and we noticed she was not laying eggs. She also had some build up...

Found my poor Hazy Little Thing, lethargic and breathing heavy this morning, but she was fine yesterday. Brought her inside and I’m isolating and administering water with electrolytes, ACV, and vitamins. Noticed this redness around her eyes. Can anyone advise what this is and how to treat...

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...

My Brahma that I just cleaned off yesterday is not well. She had caked on poop, and now feathers are trimmed. Her poop is watery, and now some reddish pink staining, urate threads. She isn't interested in eating. Has drank water. I have her inside. She is lethargic, separated herself from...

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. We've brought her inside to help keep her warm, calm, and away from the flock. She is panting, but seems more to be when she is warm and not because she is struggling...

Hi friends! Hoping you can help me diagnose my beloved backyard pet's illness. For the last week, I've noticed she's been sitting by herself, facing away, and thought it strange...but she looks perfectly fine. Red comb, nice feathers, clean butt, bright eyes. She makes it up to her perch in the...

Leaving my local park I had passed by a younger chicken of unknown breed and gender for a bit. After a while I noticed how it didn’t mind if I got too close and I caught it and brought it home to quarantine. My brother has named them Cutie. Cutie has no physical issues or abnormalities but is...

Poop / looks like large marble size lash egg?

My little silkied serama has been showing concerning signs. I found her today with her head tucked into her wing and not responding when I called out to her. I grabbed her and brought her inside. The symptoms she's showing currently: - shaking head tilted to one side - hunched over -fluffed up...

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...

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...

My chicken is about two years old and has been acting weird since yesterday. She was slow and laying down most of the day (lethargic) and seemed to be trying to push something out. Upon further inspection, she has a bulge right under her vent which I suspect after watching some videos is the...

I have one of my four golden comets non responsive standing in the middle of the back yard with her feathers puffed out, normally if she's sunning she'll move if I bother her but nope I pick her up no problem. Which is a problem since she's normally fussy and so I put water in front of her and...

One of our chickens has been unwell for a few days now. She doesn't really want to move around much and she keeps moving her head and neck like something is stuck in her throat, but we can't feel anything stuck in her throat or crop. When we caught her she ended up upside down and a strem of...

Hi all! My poor flock of 3 has been having a terrible time lately. My oldest hen (5 years old) got sick (lethargic, loss of appetite) in August after introducing 2 new pullets to her home (I should have quarantined them for longer). I took her to the vet, she was treated with de-wormer and given...

This afternoon I noticed my hen was looking very lethargic and wouldn't stand up on her own. Her face was paler than usual, and her backend was a little rounder than usual. I though she might be egg bound, so I put her in a warm, dimly lit room. I checked on her every now and then, but she was...

Need help asap as this morning I discovered 1 of my hens has maggots all over her vent. How do you cure this? I have searched all morning for videos/information and have not found anything. Please someone help as I dont know what to put on there for now. 3 years ago I believe one of my hens had...
