    Sick chicken, intestinal blockage?

    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...

    Lethargic, sick chicken. Need advice please

    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...

    Lethargic hen, seizure, dark fluid coming from beak, nose, and eyes after she died. What happened??

    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...

    I’m writing today as we are slightly concerned about one of our 32 week old White Rocks, named Crystal. When we got her she was laying consistently every day, like the rest of the flock.

    PLEASE HELP!! I can't tell what's wrong

    Hi, one of my chickens (3yr old red sex link), Bertha, is not doing well at all. She has laid maybe two eggs in the past year, but I was not too worried about that because her health hasn't suffered until now & she's always been one of my strongest (& one of the two alphas of our small flock of...

    Help! One of my hens is acting very lethargic. She is all puffed up and she lays wherever you put her. She isn’t eating and seems to be losing weight. It’s the second day of this so I brought her inside and was able to get her to drink a little. I’ve checked her over really well and she isn’t...

    2 yr old hen - poo-covered butt feathers, behaviour change

    Problem: I have a 2yr old layer hen that has recently developed a very poo (and dirt from dirt bathing) covered area below her vent. Today I noticed when she was trying to poo, they looked normal, but very small amounts coming out and sometimes runny - compounding her dirtiness. She also was not...

    6mo pullet can't move legs, lethargic, vet Dx seems wrong

    My 6ish month old layer Diana (she's laid maybe 3-4 eggs total, stopped the day after she lost the ability to stand/hobble) started limping about two weeks ago. We noticed one of her toes was curled out and backwards, and she was hobbling to avoid putting pressure on it. We tried to split the...

    Lethargic and skinny roo

    Hello, A few days ago we noticed one of our roosters sleeping a lot during the day and not moving very much when I approached it. We decided to isolate it, not knowing what is wrong with him. Since we are currently raising chicks and ducklings, we have starter feed that I’ve been feeding him...

    Urgent! Chicken falling over/bright green poop.

    Hello! My chicken, Petunia, is an almost four-year-old Leghorn (she was a rescue from a hatchery, so we got her when she was two years old and have had her since July 2017, I assume her life in the hatchery was stressful). She's gotten sick before (I thought on the brink of death) and Corid...

    Scaly leg mites?

    My hen Potato is acting off. She may be favouring the one leg just slightly. I noticed she her legs and feet looked weird, almost “crusty”. She just had a warm bath and I took a baby toothbrush and gently cleaned her feet. This is an after bath photo. Would you guys say this is scaly legs...

    Can Anyone Help Me Determine Cause of Passing...?

    So, this is the first time I've ever had this happen. And this is the third hen to fall ill, the second to pass away. But I don't quite know, again, what has happened. One of my Sumatra, we found, was acting very odd. We're not sure how long she has, but it couldn't have been for more than a...
