not drinking water

Hi, this morning I noticed 1 of my chicken’s wasn’t acting right. She was sitting a lot and not moving very much, she’s not really drinking anything and her crop is full. I isolated her this afternoon with water and no food for a few hours and her crop was still full. Is she sick? What’s wrong...

Animal did not seem sick this morning. Came home and is not eating, drinking, and does not present its normal fear of being picked up. Brought it in for the time being. I am being told by wife that separating a chicken from the flock is not a good thing. If it is dying, not sure what more...

We have a Sick bird I’m not really sure what is going on. This is my first experience with chickens and we live in an urban area. Saturday I noticed one of my 10 week old Americano was not hanging with the other chicks. I found her huddled up in the coop with one eye closed and was she was...

hello. I’m new here, I still don’t really understand this website but I need help with my chick. He’s two days old now his yolk should be digested by now right? He’s eating, walking, pooping, and peeping like a normal chick would. But he’s refusing to drink water. I put his beak in the water and...

Hey there, One of my hens was attacked by a fox she only had minor wounds and was in shock. I cleaned her wounds and put neosporin on them. I left her with the rest of the flock for the first night and day but then noticed she seemed tired and was closing her eyes standing up so I separated her...

Hi everyone i really need your help! We hatched a chick in an incubator 3 days ago and it still cant stand. This is our 4th batch and we've never had something like this before. It already had some difficulties getting out of its egg at first: it stuck out its beak and could open the rest. At...

Hi, I purchased 5 x 14 week old pullets 2 days ago from the supplier where they were raised, I believe undercover. We hav fed and watered them, leaving the feed and water outside the cover of the coop. We noticed they weren't eating or drinking so moved the food and water closer to the cover...

I bought some Bantams from TSC last night. Right when I got home I noticed one of my silkie-looking Chicks was lethargic and would not drink or eat. I gave her sugar water and she drank a bit. But then she started to puke up this clear thick stuff and died. So I woke up this morning to find...

She is a 1 1/2 yr old Orpington/sikie/sussex mixed breed from my flock and she has been a sweet girl. She has been separating herself away from the flock for last couple weeks. About a week ago she went into the smaller coop where I keep the 6 rescued chickens from my neighbor to get them...

I got two hens Sunday both 6-7 months old. One has definitely taken the role of dominant and been aggressive towards the other although I didn't work too much about it since I know they need to establish a pecking order. But now the submissive one has taken refugee in the coop and refuses to...

A couple days ago I noticed my EE was lethargic. She also had runny poops that were green and sometimes yellow. I brought her inside yesterday along with her sister that never leaves her side. She wasn't eating but was drinking. During the night she would just cluck every once and a while...

Once again, I look to Backyard Chickens for help. My family noticed one of our two and a half month old silkies not moving in the run, while the others were running and scratching around. He brought him/her inside in a plastic tote. I rubbed homemade salve all over the legs, because it appeared...
