    Chickens won’t eat

    I switched my girls off of their chick feed and started feeding them fodder. They will not eat it, I’ve mixed some of their old chick feed in it so they would try it but they just don’t eat. What should I do?

    Turkeys not eating in summer

    My turkeys haven’t been eating much if at all the past week. They seem perfectly normal but I worry about them not eating. Is this normal? Is there something I can feed them in the summer that they’ll eat?

    What to Feed a Chicken Who Won't Eat???

    I have a Buff Brahma, who's name is Jo (from the book Little Women). She is acting lethargic and won't eat. I've already checked for sour and impacted crop. Nothing. I am currently treating my flock for mites, not any medication, just DE and baths, (YAY *sarcasm implied*). I have no clue what to...

    Goose With Wry Neck!! HELP!

    Hey all. Yesterday I went out to feed my goose and noticed that she was stumbling around as if drunk. Once I caught her, I noticed two small puncture wounds on her chest. She is unable to keep her balance and often falls over. She refused to lay down at all the first day and continued to crash...

    I Think my Duck has WORMS

    My muscovy drake just stopped - all of a sudden eating yesterday. He drinks a lot of water, I mean (a lot), more than ever. Sometimes moves his head left and right like something bothers him.

    My hen is scared of my other hen. The main issue is I don't think she's eating.

    (I'm new so sorry if this is in the wrong place) I realized my Silkie is actually very small compared to my other Silkies. I also realized today that she's actually scared of my Buff Orphington Bantam so that's why she hides in a corner/behind the dog house all day. I'm scared she doesn't eat...

    6-month-old bantam hen very quiet, not eating.

    Audrey, my little Sebright d'Uccle, whom I've had for three weeks now, has gone quite quiet and does not seem interested in food. She nibbles occasionally but mostly hangs around the nesting box where her "sister" lays her eggs; but she hasn't yet laid one. She moves about well when she wants...

    Chickens won't stop sitting on the nest. NEED HELP

    So, a bit of background for the past few weeks, when this problem started. With 8 chooks, and only 3 people in the family, we have plenty of eggs. So sometimes we go a couple of days without picking up the eggs from the coop. It's not normally a problem. If a chook starts sitting on them, they...

    Sick hen maybe coccidosis? Impacted crop??

    Hello. Remember Beatrice of the egg bound hen thread? Well If you check back on that, you will see that we had a successful outcome. We put her back with the girls on the 26th. On the 27th we noticed her being lethargic, puffed up and hunching, not eating or drinking. I took her to the isolation...

    UPDATE: My hen has since passed. Feel free to post what you think it could have been, and any steps you think I should take for my other two hens (who aren't currently exhibiting any symptoms). This is the third member of my original flock (which I'll now probably add to; yay?) that's died in...

The next afternoon I found 2 more dead, where the hen had spent the night, both of those wet and on their...
