    My olive egger, Gertie, is about 18mos the old. About a month ago we started having issues with her - lethargic, losing weight, not eating much if at all and excessive thirst when she would drink.

    Egg Bound, Cold, Something Else?

    I'm new to the site and new to chicken raising. I've had three full-grown hens since August, Chili, Basil and Rosemary. They've all been laying an egg a day, until the recent cold snap when they've all gone down to about every other day. Yesterday, Basil, my beta chicken, was acting squirrely. I...

    old age or sickness?

    Hello, I’m not sure if she is lethargic because of sickness or because she is old. How do I determine which it is? She is over 8 years old. She is not thin, she is still eating well, dust bathing, ect. But she spends most of her time laying down and doesn’t go too far from the coop, sometimes...

    Not sure what is ailing my 20 week old chicken?

    Background: it will be day 7 of me noticing the fluffed feather area tomorrow (Thursday). At first I thought it was respiratory issues as all of my chickens have sneezing and some sound raspy. They all got the sneeze one after the other. But never had any snotty noses or lethargy. I started them...

    Sick chicks

    I have quite a few chicks that act like this. they walk around normal, and then they will lay down and look exhausted. Some of them stand with your eyes closed, and their heads dropped forward. They have been acting like this for about two weeks. I thought they were recovering from Coryza. My...
