Hi. I posted a thread a little over a month ago about a Plymouth Rock I thought she may have water belly. From what I understand if waterbelly it should have killed her already, she is still alive but today has taken a turn for the worse. Yesterday, I seen her vomit twice clear liquid. She...
Hi Everyone,
I have a 2-year-old red sex link hen that puffs up and gets lethargic during the evenings. During the mornings and afternoons she seems okay- her stance is normal, she has normal looking poops, and she walks around and is alert and attentive like she would act when she was...
My young rooster (about 4 months old) is suddenly very lethargic, falling sleep standing up where his head will just tilt into the ground, and his tails feathers are down. His comb and wattle are also pale. He ate food this morning. I had this happen to another rooster about 4-6 weeks ago but...
Hello all!
I've been keeping chickens a little over a year now and I've got a lavender Orpington that's a year and a half and was attacked by a raccoon on Sunday, November 7th at 3:45am. I got in a hurry and didn't count the chickens when I locked them up and she must have been out. I awoke to a...
So one of our 3 year old chickens started walking slow and she started to poop black, also she was making slow aggravated sounding clucks. She usually has a big apatite so we checked for sour crop or a blockage but there was none, she doesn't have mites or lice either. her comb is nice and red...

I have 2 salmon faverolles hens. Both seem to have the same issue. The remaining 14 hens seem unaffected. I have been looking at poop charts, and pictures, and reading. I have no idea. They have all been wormed this spring. My hens are about 2 yrs old. There is no blood in their poop. One girl...
One member of our flock started with a droopy eye. Had it for awhile, we didn’t think much of it. Yesterday, it was closed completely, she wouldn’t eat or drink.
Put her in isolation and put ointment on the eye, which has begun to swell. Today the eye is caked, she is heavily lethargic and just...
Newbie here. I have a 3 year old Plymouth Rock among our small flock of 8 chickens we inherited about 7 months ago. She has been acting odd for 2 or 3 months now, but all of sudden seems very sick. Several months ago, we thought maybe she was egg bound and after being in quarantine, bath & a...
