I have Wyandotte chickens, I notice that they are blowing are out of their beaks with a little clear liquid coming out. I am new to chickens and am not sure what this could be. They do not have any other symptoms and seem to be normal otherwise, what could this possibly be?
I notice that my chickens are on occasion shaking their head and water comes out of what seems to be their nose. I’m new to this, is it something to be concerned about? I don’t see any other symptoms and they are acting normally, it’s just the head shake, or what seems like blowing the nose.
Hi everyone! I’m a first time duck mom and I have two Pekins around 3-4 weeks old I believe. For the last few days, they will have their mouths slightly open to breathe or sometimes when their mouth is closed I can hear the breathing sounding like a stuffy nose. However, I can’t visibly see any...
So I have a rescue button quail (long story) that I've been caring for for almost a year and a half now (wow time flies). I have her in a big cage outside that I clean weekly, she eats, drinks and runs around totally normally, has all of her feathers, her eyes look good, etc, but only 1 nostril...
Today I just picked up a batch of four hens from somebody since they can only keep them seasonally due to not having coop insulation the Maran hen is gasping and panting with a runny nose along with shaking her head side to side her poo was healthy however and not watery she doesn’t have eye...
Any ideas about the growth on her nostril? She’s about 5 months. We are in the DFW area. Thought it might be a botfly larva based on Google searching. There’s a bit of blood on the underside. I just noticed it today.
Thanks for any help!
I have a cross beak named Puck. He is a happy little chicken who although is smaller than everyone else is super independent and wild. Yesterday I noticed his head was bobbing. I posted in a Facebook group and someone told me to check for mites. As I checked, I didn’t see any mites but it does...
Hi, I recently got chicks from a local pet store a couple days ago. I give them food and water and all that stuff.
But, last night, one of my chicks started to make some weird noises and I’m concerned. I’m not sure if its a sign of something or just stuff in their nose. She doesn’t make the...
I noticed the scab thing on this chicks nose when she was a month younger, I thought that it was a speck of dirt or something and tried to brush it off, now it's bigger and she sounds different from her siblings. She's fine otherwise just sounds a bit more squeaky than the others
Edited to fix...
Hi All!
I realize that several people have had experiences in the past with chickens that have developed odd lumps and bumps on their faces with no apparent cause. However, I thought I would share these pictures in case someone can now identify what's wrong with my hen. Researching it proved to...
The past week-2weeks one of my chickens has been sneezing on and off.
Now I can hear she has a bit of mucus in her nostrils, because one time I barely (underline barely) heard her breathing with a tiny bit of mucus.
So, I was wondering about how to flush out this mucus? She is still laying...
Hi All -
Admittedly, I am new to having chickens so please bear with me.
I think my chicken has a clogged nose and I'm unsure what to do.
So far I have tried using warm water and picking at is as she allows but not much is coming out or off. I also tried using a little peroxide and that...
Two weeks ago I received this little buff Orpington from Mcmurray. She’s currently divided from the other chicks by hardwire cloth and allowed to mingle with them when I’m out to supervise. I noticed last week her nose seemed to be bleeding slightly and assumed it was from her sticking her beak...
We have bantams and recently put pinless peepers on our roosters tonight we checked on them and noticed this crust on them and one has a knot on his waddles and some have black dots on their combs and one has a curl to her comb? We removed the peepers but I don’t know how to treat them. We have...
Today 2 of my 5 ducklings spat/snorted quite a bit of fluid (I couldn’t quite see where it came from) when I picked them up to clean out the pen. That’s the only time I’ve noticed anything like that. Then I put the ducks back and the same two did it again but this time I saw it come from the...
I have some chickens and ducks. They all share a big house and run together. In the last few weeks the they have started to get sore legs. 1 has two bad legs were it does not walk unless i walk near it and then it walks like a robot. 2 chickens with 1 sore leg and hobbles along and 1 duck with...

I have an approximately 5 month old Bantam hen who is clearly sick. She has been very lethargic and slow for the last two weeks. It wasn't until three days ago I noticed one side of her nose is swollen. She keeps her eyes closed most of the day, and barely eats or drinks. Today she hasn't eaten...
