    My golden comet chicken, almost 5 months old, was suddenly very lethargic this morning. She didnt run out of the coop with the rest of the birds, and just stayed on her roosting bar. She doesnt usually let me touch her, but shes letting me pick her up and inspect her without complaint now. Her...

    Pullets/cockerel afraid of hens, not eating

    I added 5 pullets and a cockerel to my flock of 5 hens over a month ago, and recently had to tube feed one of the pullets because she became lethargic and I realized she wasn’t eating. Upon watching them, none of them eat nearly enough, and it appears to be that they’re afraid of the hens. There...

    How good is good enough to put my chicken with heatstroke somewhat outside?

    I had a chicken with heatstroke a few days ago and she’s been residing in my room so I can keep a close eye on her. I also don’t have a dog crate to put her in… I pick up any droppings and disinfect the area daily, have an air purifier, and keep it well ventilated. Though, I will be away for...

    Help! I think my hen ate pebbles???

    Yesterday morning we went to check on the flock and one of the hens was “sleeping” standing up. She was very lethargic and uninterested. After watching her and examining we thought she could be egg bound. We followed the steps with baths and calcium and made her an egg with the shell, etc. left...

    Hen having trouble moving right leg

    We have a lovely, sweet Austrolorp, just about 3 years old, who started limping six weeks ago. I thought she'd broken her leg or dislocated it. Then she got very sick, breathing hard and unable to eat much. I took her to a vet who x-rayed her and found no problems with her skeleton. Another vet...

    Diarrhea, lethargy, and not eating

    Hi guys, one of my Tractor Supply Easter egger hens, ~3 years old, has been lethargic since yesterday morning, looks like she hasn't been preening her tail, and she has watery diarrhea and her fluff is all dirty from it. Her comb got paler than usual (she's always had a big floppy comb though)...

    Egg-bound? Sick?

    So my hen is almost 2 years old. She's normally an active runner and a healthy layer. She hasn't been moving much for the past day and a half and there's definitely an egg in there that she hasn't laid. I've tried all the usual things for an egg-bound hen. We've done a warm Epsom salt soak...

    I visit my hens every day since I got them two weeks ago. At first everything was great but now I have an issue with not collecting any white eggs for the last 4 days.
