not eating feed

Hello! I have a mottled cochin bantam (Gil) about 18 weeks old. She lives with two blue Andalusians that are the same age. Yesterday when I let them out, I noticed that none of them were really eating very much. The blues did a little bit, but Gil didn't at all. She ate grass and whatever bugs...

Hello My chicken had been badly pecked on the head by another hen. I think it was happening for 30 minutes to one hour before I realised. (young Polish bantam, born May 2023) He was lying on the ground and lifeless when I rushed him inside. He is still alive. I cleaned the head, I’ve used...

chicken isn't really eating all that much. it's eating enough for me not to worry about it starving but not a peck beyond that my dad has been pressing me to feed it cooked rice since that stuff it eats like candy, but im concerned since some sources i googled say adamantly that you shouldn't...

Hello, This morning I went out to the coop to let my girlies out and one of them didn’t come out of the coop into the run. I found her in the coop in the corner not moving. She isn’t able to stand, walk, she’s weak and lethargic. She can barely lift her head and falls to her side if she does...

It's been about 30hrs since I noticed my hen is not eating, only drinking more water than usual. She is lethargic, not dust bathing but she is still moving around just not much. She falls asleep during the day and she has a yellow runny poo with green through it but no smell. We have red mites...

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...

Hello Everyone, Ive gone over potential differentials and I’ve come down to one; bumblefoot. Main concern is change in activity, eating pattern, and poop change. Im not sure if anything else is going on or if this is just a result of bumble foot. Below I will try my best to provide a past and...

I always have a duck feeder full of food and I rarely see my ducklings eat from it so I try to hand feed them and when I do hand feed them they always go crazy over it and even fight for it. But they dont go for the food in the duck feeder, is this normal? 2 week old muscovy ducklings btw.

Hi! These last 2 weeks, my hen has been losing feathers and itching all over, specifically her neck, and has been eating/drinking less and less. At first, I thought she was going through a slow molt with all the itching and feathers she was losing, but many are the fluffy down feathers. She's...

Hi. Our 3 months old hen Vader stopped eating and drinking almost two days ago. She had a warm little coop in the patio but recently we moved her inside the house as it got rainy and colder. We noticed a glove was missing yesterday and suspected that she had swallowed an entire latex glove and...

I have a 1.5 year old leghorn that has been acting odd and I can’t figure out what to do next. On 6/23, I saw her extending her neck and gasping twice and then her behavior returned to normal, so I just assumed she had something stuck in her throat and she cleared it. On 6/24, she began...

Hello everyone I hope you all well. My chciks are all almost 6 weeks. 1 or 2 chick eat crumb but not as much as before they used to. Now I try to change feed to grower medicated pellets and they ain't eat that as well except very little. They shaking head sometimes. I checked every sign but I...

Within the past couple of weeks, more noticeably this week, my girls have started to pick through their feed, eating the bits that I guess they love and shoving the rest of the feed out of their feeders and landing on the ground. There is A LOT of feed that ends up on the ground and now when I...
