About a week ago i hatch out some chicks. The last 2 to be born worried me, last couldnt stand and walk and was taken buy someone who is going to try to rehabilitate since it didnt seem to be injury.
And the 2nd last bled a bit when she came out of shell. Her navel scabbed over and she was...
I found her lethargic 8/17 with her eye closes and swollen, head cocked to the side and separated from the flock. I put her in quarantine and began treating with saline solution. Little to no improvement. Began treating with terramycin directly in eye + saline why removing pus 2x daily. She...
My sweet Ophelia was completely normal yesterday. This morning when I came into the chicken yard I noticed she had one eye that was swollen shut and the entire side of her face was very puffy. The other side also looks redder and more swollen than usual. She is eating and moving around just fine...
My rooster has been acting lethargic. He sits very still with his eyes closed for several minutes. He will walk and then just stop and either lie down or stand there. I’ve noticed missing feathers on his neck. Watery diarrhea (clear/white). Please see pictures. I’m a new owner and do not know...
I have nine bourbon red poults that are about two weeks old. One is not doing well this evening. His belly area seems swollen, there is a scab in that area. He is just standing with his eyes closed and wings drooped, letting the other poults run over him. Could it have an infection? Or be...
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...
