    Lethargic, won't eat or drink, seems to have trouble seeing

    My girl is not doing well, so this post may be a bit long trying, to give as much detail as possible. HISTORY She is middle aged (not sure exact age), has two friends who are perfectly fine, but has taken a turn for the worse. I think she might be a golden sussex, but I'm not positive...

    Chick Failing to Thrive Now Seems Frankly Ill - Hunched, Shivering, Thin, Miserable

    Hello! Our wonderful Cuckoo Marans hen raised two batches of chicks this year. The second batch hatched on Halloween. (Now 2 months old.) One of the babies has always seemed frail. At first it was just that she seemed always to be cold, hunched with her feathers poofed out. As time has...

    Bright green runny poop & squishy crop - please help, desperate!

    If anyone can help I would so appreciate it - I’m desperate here, I have no idea what is wrong with my hen! She’s about 6.5 months old, and not yet started to lay eggs. She free ranges in my backyard with 10 other chickens, none of whom show any signs of illness. I first noticed that my one...

    6 1/2 month old lethargic hen - suggestions??

    Hi all, I have a 6 1/2 month old hen (my favorite, incidentally) that is acting very lethargic. She’s in a flock of 11 and all the others are acting normally. I’ve been out of town for a week and have only been back for two days, so I don’t know how long this has been going on. Last night I...

    Help please! One of my one year-old Plymouth bards needs medical attention quick!

    One of my hens, Chloe, has had her eyes half closed for about a month. The first week we saw this, we quarantined her. We gave her A course of Corid, Checked her vent to see if she was egg bound. She seemed to be perking up and we re- introduced her to the rest of the flock. It is now a...

    Sick hen antibiotics not helping... what could it be?

    Hello all... hoping someone has some experience with a similar issue and can help! I have a hen who was sick when we returned from vacation. I took her to our vet who did an xray and found pneumonia. She recovered after a 10 day cycle of the antibiotic clavamox. She was doing well, back to...

    Lethargy, Vomiting, Diarrhea

    Our 9 month old New Hampshire rooster has been lethargic since last week. He began vomiting and having diarrhea after we massaged his crop. He has been kept isolated recently due to his illness but none of our others have gotten sick prior. He is not improving and acts very confused when allowed...

    Suspected severe sour crop - new chicken owners

    First post from long-time lurkers. We bought a couple of scrawny chickens from a dodgy back yard breeder. Both had pretty pale combs, patchy feathers. One had a runny nose and would cough/sneeze. Months later and one of them, the one without the runny nose, is very healthy - plenty of weight...

    Sick Chicken...Seeking Advice!

    I recently acquired 3 lovely 12-15 week old hens to add to my backyard flock, and while in quarantine 1 of them has become ill. When they first arrived I gave them some water with apple cider vinegar to help combat the stress of travel, but within a couple of days "sick chick's" condition became...

    Chicken lethargic after beak-trimming

    I have four hens in my backyard coop; two Easter-Eggers, a Barred Rock, and a Rhode Island Red. All of them came from my local feed store, which sources their chicks from a local farmer. They are about to turn 6 months old. About a month ago, I noticed one of my EEs, Audre, had a crossed beak. I...

    Longtime lurker, first-time poster!

    I've been reading BYC for months, but I finally bit the bullet (or perhaps "bit the bug" is more appropriate in this context)! I have four hens in my backyard coop just outside Denver, Colorado. We've got two Easter-Eggers, a Barred Rock, and a Rhode Island Red. All of them came from my local...

    Mystery illness?

    My three year old orpington is suffering from a mystery illness. She stopped laying eggs a few weeks ago, and a few days ago started rapidly losing feathers. Since it's the height of summer with 100+ degree weather, I don't think she could possibly be molting (especially since there are no new...

    HELP. Sick hen

    My hen, roughly 3 or so years old is acting lethargic. Earlier today she started standing around, sometimes with her eyes closed, her face is rather pale. The same symptoms were seen a few days ago but seemed to clear up. There are some signs of diarrhea near the vent although she has more...

    Red Star Drooping Comb

    Need help! My red star, Mrs. Featherbottom, has been acting off. She was producing her usual enormous eggs, then April 15 stopped laying and eating normally, and began acting lethargic. I treated the flock for worms and added Corid to their water on the advice of my vet. She perked back up. A...

    eggbound, infection, or something else?

    I thought my hen might be eggbound because she seems to be disinterested in food, has not laid an egg today (she's one of our regular layers), is lackluster, and her abdomen seems swollen. Her abdomen is not hard, as I would expect it to be from what I have read if she were eggbound, so I'm not...
