I got baby chicks from Rural King about 8 days ago. The nice employee let me personally choose each chick and Ialways looking for active, fiesty and liveliest chicks. These chicks appeared to be only a day or two old. Some of the tubs did have damp bedding and one tub had a dying chick but it...
Hello all!
I'm Gio, from Brazil, I'm new here.
My adopted chick is very lethargic and there's blood in her poop, her avian vets can't figure out what might be wrong so any help would be deeply appreciated.
She's around 2-3 months old now, her sisters and brother are absolutely fine, all...
My 8 week old is very lethargic and can’t keep her head up for very long. She falls asleep almost instantly and can’t keep her eyes open and her chirping is very weak. I don’t know what her poop looks like because I hurt my back and my boys have been taking care of her the past few days. I’ve...
Hi, my beautiful Americana has been acting weird the last two days. She is lethargic and constantly breathing heavily. She's having mustard yellow diarrhea quite frequently and mostly just standing around. She's maybe 4-5 years old and this is a really sudden change so I don't think it has to do...
my two and a half year old buff brahma hen Frida hasn’t eaten for two days now, has been not acting like herself, standing kind of hunched and fluffed up with her head near her body and her eyes closed, and only pooping clear, thick (almost mucousy) faintly reddish brown droppings with thick...
Hi everyone.
Saw this young chick today, being lethargic and having her eyes mostly closed. She is more lethargic now. I already quarantined her but the exposure to this already happened to my flock. Anyone knows what this may be and any other precautions to make? Im prepared to cull but want...
One of my chickens has been getting sick with the same symptoms every few months and I’m unable to see a vet. The symptoms she has is lethargy, lack of appetite, gurgling sounds from her stomach, red, swollen and sore vent with discharge. I think this time there’s been small bits of blood? I...
My baby turkey 3-4 weeks old has been recently gasping, sneezing, and acting very lethargic. He’s a royal palm turkey, and his stool is white. Any recommendations on what to do? He doesn’t seem to be eating at all, and I had to give him food by mouth and he was able to get his energy back. I...
Hi! I recently got two baby chicks. I received them from a friend who had boughten them from the store. They had them for one day and didn't use a heat lamp. As soon as I got them I bought a heat lamp and they have been warm ever since. They have both been eating and drinking good until one day...
Hey guys. I have had three hens die in the last three weeks. I am trying to decide if there is something going around my flocks (I have three flocks that live alongside each other) or if these are isolated cases of natural causes. One big consideration right now is the temperature which has been...
I’m not sure how long she had been out there, but we found our 4 month old silkie lethargic with blood in her nostrils. She’s very cold, lethargic, and can barely hold her head up, but she’s fighting fluids by syringe. She was introduced to our flock along with another 4month silkie roo about 2...
One of our Sapphire Gem pullets is very sick, I found her yesterday like this and she still hasn't improved this afternoon when we did chores.
She is pale, EXTREMELY thin, lethargic, not making any noises unless started, she wont eat but she will drink if you dip her bill in water, I think I...
A while ago, I noticed one of my hens picking up a bit of weight on her behind. I felt her lower abdomen, and although it did feel slightly bigger than the other hens, I decided to leave her, but remained speculative. Now, her lower abdomen feels substantially bigger than it did last time, and...
Hello Everyone,
I have looked at a couple of posts on this and wanted to let people know of my findings. Goober was approximately 3 years old, had a leg deformity on one claw ( caused her to hobbled since birth like a penguin) she was very talkative too. She has laid some soft eggs before where...
Hello!
I have a hen who has been dealing with a respiratory issue for the past month. I have been applying VetRX to her throat basically everyday. She seemed like she was getting better, but today she isn't looking too good. She was walking slower than usual, her comb was flopped over a little...
Hello all!
This morning I went to the coop to let the girls out, and my normally peppy, clingy EE was seeming "off". She was slow to the feeder, and wasn't attached to my hip like normal. She did show interest in breakfast, but after just went and sat quietly under a tree by herself. Noticing...
My flock was attacked by a swarm of buffalo gnats it was HORRIFIC. All my pullets seem to be doing ok except for one who got the worst of it. I mean hundreds of these things eating her alive in her eyes, nose, and body. The attack happened yesterday at sunset now about 11 hours later she’s doing...
Hi all. One of my 2yo barred rock hens has been lethargic all day. She will come over for scratch and was out in our covered run foraging and drank water while I was watching her. She also had 2 normal looking poops and 1 more watery poop while I was watching her. I don't know if she laid an egg...
I'm pretty sure my 3-week old duckling has sour crop. I noticed one was acting different today - lethargic, not keeping up with the group, chirping constantly. The duckling is also quite smaller, maybe half the size of the other ducks. I picked the duck up to look for any signs of illness and I...
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms?
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other...
