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...
Hi all, I just got 12 chicks from tractor supply (4 Rhode island reds, 4 wynadotte I think, and 4 cinnamon queens). 2 of the 4 cinnamon queens are having trouble.
I found one this morning lying on the ground near the water bowl and the others were just walking right on her. I went to pick her...
Hello I’m sorry but please can anyone help me out? I have a chicken (I’ve been told she’s a red sex link and I don’t know her age) and today when I got home I let her out of the run and into my yard (which is mostly brick) and she went to go scratch at a corner with some dirt. I go inside for an...
I have a hen that is around 2 years old! Lately she has been standing very still and once I checked on her I saw that she has brown stuff surrounding her vent and weird green/white discharge! She isn’t eating! I have soaked her in warm water and a few maggots came out! She also makes a pain like...
My 6 year old mixed breed Bantam buff Orpington/buff Brahma has been lethargic for about a week now. She has separated herself from the flock (11 total all mixed breeds and ages, all but one are hens) which she’s not done before. She’ll stand around all puffed up, even in mild weather looking...
Good morning everyone,
I have a hen Penelope that has been known to prolapse over the last couple years (she’s around 3 1/2 years old). Normally I have not had any trouble fixing the prolapse every time and she has always seem normal and healthy other than that. Earlier this week she wasn’t...
I hatched some quail chicks 4 days ago and they were all doing perfect but when I got home from work today 4 of them had died. The other chicks all looked pretty lethargic so I took them outside on some grass and they perked up alot but once I put them back in the brooder box they all returned...
Sometime maybe last week, could have been longer than that, we had one of the ISA browns lay a wrinkled Egg. Fast forward to this past Friday and I noticed one of the ISA browns very sluggish, swaggering, and lethargic. Her feathers seem easy to fall out, her comb is off in color.
I'm guessing...
