Hi everyone. I am new to chickens. I have successfully raised and placed my 10 week old Rhode Island Reds in their coop. These were hatched by a friend and given to me for free. They are healthy and thriving. After doing so, I bought 7 more various breeds from a local man in Hernando MS. They...
Hi everyone.
One of my almost three month old chicks has been acting very lethargic the last week or so. I gave all my chickens a 5 day antibiotic treatment which ended three days ago. It helped one of my other ickens who had a respiratory infection but this chick has not improved. The reason...
Hi everyone-
I know this is not the first post about a lethargic chick- but I can’t quite get an answer anywhere.
My 6 day old barred rock chick (by characteristics I’ve sexed her as female) is likely not going to make it. This isn’t my first time raising chicks but I’ve changed just about...
Hi, so for the past couple of months, I have had very alarming concerns with my ducks and need help badly. I have 5 ducks right now, but 2 died in the past couple of months from what was identified as cancer. One had tumors in his testes and liver, while another had one between his wing. I have...
Hi All, I am a first time baby chick owner. Picked up 8 baby chicks from the local feed store yesterday morning. Have had them in the brooder for 24 hours. The Feed Store was supposed to get this shipment of chicks the day prior, but the shipping was delayed and late by a day. I'm assuming this...

Hello everyone :)
I have two chickens, and one chicken has been acting a bit lethargic. She is around 5 years old, she is very strong built but has been acting off. A few days ago, we noticed she was attacked by some animal. Her comb was scratched bloody, her coop had blood in the wall and she...
This is Betty. For the past week she’s been lethargic, sitting in the same spot barely moving, her eyes were swollen shut and now the slightly open and cloudy/glossy. Won’t eat or drink on her own, I have to give her water through a dropper. She poops but it’s super liquidy. She recently started...
Hello so I had gotten 4 quail from someone and I took them home and they seemed healthy but a bit scared of me, now 4-5 weeks later I have them they are happy and trust me they all seem good except for one quail in the past this quail has not pecked straight or accurately (have tried giving it...
It's been about 30hrs since I noticed my hen is not eating, only drinking more water than usual. She is lethargic, not dust bathing but she is still moving around just not much. She falls asleep during the day and she has a yellow runny poo with green through it but no smell. We have red mites...
Hey everyone,
My chooks are going through their molt a little later than usual fall because Texas weather is crazy. Sirius started her molt and now full into it, is acting sick. It started this last weekend with fully watery poop that had bright green spots in it.
I changed all their food...
Leaving my local park I had passed by a younger chicken of unknown breed and gender for a bit. After a while I noticed how it didn’t mind if I got too close and I caught it and brought it home to quarantine. My brother has named them Cutie.
Cutie has no physical issues or abnormalities but is...
Roughly 6 mo Brahma pullet. I think she is laying based on age but haven’t witnessed it.
Normally a big eater (her name is Chonk). I noticed her standing alone yesterday, not eating and her face appeared pale.
I separated her immediately. She will not eat or drink. Tried blueberries...
1) What type of bird , age and weight
Lavender Ameraucana 6 months, ~3 lbs
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
Yesterday fine, ate worms out of garden Tends to be spunky, social, active. I call her a puppy chicken.
This morning she became lethargic and just sits with feathers puffed up. Not...
Animal did not seem sick this morning. Came home and is not eating, drinking, and does not present its normal fear of being picked up. Brought it in for the time being. I am being told by wife that separating a chicken from the flock is not a good thing. If it is dying, not sure what more...
For most of this week, my hen has been acting a bit unusual. My girl Max is an almost 6 year-old indoor Wellsummer hen. She lives indoors due to her previous flock abusing her to the point of borderline starvation. Normally, Max is energetic, obnoxious, talkative, curious, and a decent eater. I...
I posted on here a few days ago about one of my hens that had stopped eating/drinking, laying, was lethargic, and was having watery yellow stool. This was a few days ago, she is still the same today. I was told to give dewormer and corid which i have done for three days now with no improvement...
My bird has been acting lethargic for about 3 days now, prior she was just fine. Vent is clean, she’s not pale, but she refuses to move much (preferring to sleep in place), hasn’t been eating or drinking, and hasnt been laying eggs. She was a rescue but we believe she is fairly young. Any...
I recently posted about my 2.5 y/o bantam rooster, who had de-spurred himself. That all has healed up well but something more is off about him and I can't figure out what.
A few days before that incident I noticed him slowing down--ex. being slower to leave the run when I let everyone out to...
