I have a very lethargic hen
she’s normally very active perky and eats like a pig but she’s slow seems tentative to walk. Not interested in food.
face is nice and red. They’ve been wormed three weeks ago but I’m now doing again just to make sure that’s now the problem.
she has a slightly...
I posted a few weeks back after Chicky started limping badly on her right leg. The vet didn't see any signs of a break and gave her pain killers, and she gradually started walking normally again and we figured that was that.
I noticed yesterday that she was moving slow, hunched posture, far...
PLEASE HELP SICK CHICKEN
My chicken Ophelia has been acting so strange. She is a two year old barred rock that lives in Hawaii with 4 sister chickens. I clean her water regularly and add new mulch to her large outdoor enclosure. The last week and a half she has been lethargic and moving slower...
Hi, all, I posted in the emergency forum the other day but didn't get any takers. So I'm trying here since this issue has returned.
On Tuesday morning, my one goose (who we call a she, but we don't know for sure) wasn't very reactive/energetic to me when the two of them always come greet us...
I have some wild chickens that I have been feeding for a few years and I rescued a one month old baby chick that had been attacked by another hen, its has an injured limp leg. I have been feeding it a little bit of raw scrambled egg in a syringe but it wont eat much and is refusing to eat or...
Hello everyone, after endless googling and reading so many threads and my poor chicken not getting any better over a week I thought I would finally ask for help. My 3 year old chicken Teri, I noticed her drooling and shaking her head about a week and a half ago and a few days after that, I...
Ok...My SF chick, Gladys, slept on the floor of the coop last night. This morning she slept in longer than the other girls and has not wanted to keep her eyes open. She is responsive to things around her for the most part...Gladys current situation; in a crate with bedding, food, yogurt...
Hello, we have four ducks a month old almost exactly. They just started spending days outside. It is between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit. They have water and food in a 5x5 pen I made them.
Recently, starting this morning, one of our little ones, Peanut, has been acting lethargic. She sits there...
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
She is a 18 week old, pearl white leghorn. Not laying yet. She feels very very thin compared to the others
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
She wouldn't come out of the coop this morning...
Hi all! Really thankful for this community.
I have a 3.5 week old olive egger that arrived via shipping with 14 other chicks. The rest are doing awesome, but one little guy (getting a boy vibe) started acting lethargic around 2 weeks old. He’s always been a total loner and would mostly stand...
Hello all, thank you for your time for reading this post
I have a young pullet (Black Mottled Duccle?) Who has not started laying yet, was hatched sometime early April 2021, for 2 days she has been acting somewhat lethargic. She didn't want to leave her roost for most of the day yesterday, but...
hey everyone so a bit of background, i got these pekin chicks yesterday as 2/3 day olds. One of them is a tiny bit smaller and less active, still running around but sleeps much more. the other chick will run around the brooder tackling the smaller one as it is sleeping. the more active one will...
I got a couple chicks from someone (French Wheaten Marans) at first they did seem kind of sickly, but two of them came out of it relatively fast. My third chick is very lethargic, I read online that chicks need 1-2 ounces of food and twice that for water every day, but she’s barely eating and...
Any thoughts on how I should proceed with my four-month-old Easter Egger? We're rather worried as she has been listless, separate from the other four hens, and uninterested in food. Today she mostly stayed seated on the coop floor by herself. She can walk, but very slowly, with her head hanging...
Hello - hoping to get some advice.
I have a 1.5 year old Easter Egger who has had a swollen abdomen since Saturday (at least that's when I discovered it). I immediately knew something was up, as she didn't exit the run with the other chickens that morning. She is my most skittish chicken and...
I have a 1 1/2 year old hen, she looks like a leghorn but she lays green eggs. She has not been laying well the last few months, she's only laid a few eggs and the one she has laid are missing their shells. Other than that she seemed to be fine. The last few days however she has become...
I have a hen who hasn’t laid an egg in the past three days but has been hanging out in the box all day and night. It has been in the 90s here so at first I thought the heat was keeping her from laying. Now I’m concerned that she isn’t drinking and is dehydrated. She’s acting a little lethargic...
My little Barred Rock, Betty, was acting strange Sunday afternoon. She was walking but a little wobbly and I noticed her neck tucked down, she was a little puffed up, and her comb, wattles, & face were very pale. So I brought her inside and put her in a pet carrier with food and water which she...
I am still kind of new to the chicken world. My first and my little baby girl Nugget (profile picture) has not pooped in awhile. Lost a lot of weight, lethargic, and it keeps getting worse as the weeks go on. I’ve kept her separate from the other chickens in my flock for two days now and when I...
hi everyone! we recently had a bunch of eggs hatch but one of the little guys was stuck in its shell. my boyfriend carefully picked the shell apart and got him out. at first he was stuck in a position where his legs were folded but eventually he was able to walk and hold himself up. we are now...
