She's quarantined now in...

Hi Everyone
Abit of background:
Afew weeks ago I posted a thread about my Pekin Bantam - she had a swollen eye/ earlobe with a tick on which we removed. She was lethargic & not eating much & after 2.5 days the swelling did not go down. We took her to the vet who gave her an antibiotic injection...
Little polish cross hen, about 2 years old, I've had chickens that have had similar symptoms and died, does anyone know what it could be? She's tilting/shaking her head, sometimes acting lethargic or standing like she is in pain, she has lost weight and has green poo. The chickens that have had...

Hi my chicken (smooshy) is not looking so good. She is standing hunched over and not moving much, I got her sugar water and some food and she ate a lot but didn’t drink much so I added the food to the sugar water and she liked that. She is a pullet and a little stunted in her growth, so she...
Hello, my pekin bantam Raven was absolutely fine yesterday however today she has been extremely lethargic, struggling to keep her eyes open and letting me pick her up when she normally runs off as out of my hens she's the only one who steers away from me. She appears to have some sort of limp...

Agnes is one of my first chickens and I’m so worried about her! About three days ago I noticed her not eating as much and drinking more water than usual. She didn’t want to leave the coop and has white/yellow diarrhea on her vent feathers. She’s been increasingly lethargic and now isn’t...
i have a 11wk pullet who is notrmally very calm but I noticed today she won’t even run around with the others, she just want to sleep. And she will not stop preening. And I noticed she’s keeping one eye closed. She’ll open it if I try to pick her up or she gets nervous, but as soon as she...
Dear All,
One of my five chickens is sick. I initially thought she had bronchitis due to a mucus-like fluid drooling from her mouth (I actually thought that she was about to die). This happened about 5 days ago. But after the first day I have not seeing anything drooling from the mouth...

I have a hen who is lethargic, has yellowish poo, and when I probed her vent, saw a bit of blood on my glove. She is NOT egg bound. I felt no egg when examining her. Any ideas what this might be? I know that's not much to go on, but . . . Any insight and input would be appreciated.
