    Ive got a male and female quail/rutin chicken. the boy was pecking at the girl, so we took him out to trim his beak with a solder. this hasn't caused him issues before. since doing that on Sunday, he has been very low energy, like he wants to sleep and sit in the corner near the eggs all...

    Buff Orp with a dirty butt and low energy

    Hi BYC community! Hoping you can help, I worry I have maybe been missing something important. One of my 7 free ranging chickens, a Buff Orpington, hasn't been making the jump through the 4' tall window into the hen house with the rest of the flock for a couple of months now and I've been...

    Pale comb? Is my chicken okay?

    Hello! My Dominique chicken (6-7 months old) has a pale comb, she’s moving a little slower than usual lately too. Eating & drinking still, don’t think she’s laying anymore, had some poop stuck to the feathers on her butt today. I’ve added Nutridrench to the water just in case she needs extra...

    Can’t figure out what’s wrong with my Speckled Sussex

    I would love some advice for my sweet Jolene. She has seemed perfectly well, then on July 4th she didn’t go up in the coop. She was squawking at what sounded like a scared cry from all of the fireworks. I got her and put her in but she didn’t want to come out the next morning. I separated her...

    What's wrong with my hen?

    I've noticed over the last few months that my hens comb has changed color. It used to be bright red and now to me it looks pale and looks like it has shrunk. Here is a picture from 2018 vs 2019. What do you think has caused this? She is 2 years old. She also is missing butt feathers that are not...

She was holding her right wing low and walking on her feathers, following the flock, slowly, resting a lot with her buddy by her side. I put her in solitary and gave her a check up. No...

    Sick hen, tail and rear end tucked under with low energy

    My hen has been sick for 4 days now. Her tail and rear end is tucked under or "droopy" and she isn`t really moving (walks like a penguin) but really only sitting there. She layed an egg on the first day of her sickness, so I do not believe she is egg bound. She isn`t eating her regular layer...

    Injured chick tossing head and “biting” the air

    We have a 9 week old Wyandotte who had a “too close” encounter with our dog almost three weeks ago. Before the attack, she was perfectly healthy and competing for the top spot in the pecking order. The result of the attack was she lost all the skin around her neck and what looks like lost...
