    Emergency! RIR Age 3 yrs Hard lump on chest, and losing weight.

    My Rhode Island Red, Chocobo, has developed a lump on her chest. It is soft on the bottom but hard at the top. She went into molt a week ago, since then she has been exhausted and not eating. I thought it was a combination of the molt and the heat, and treated her for such. Vitamins, protein...

    No egg shell and mildly lethargic

    Today I had an egg without a shell. I know this happens when the hen doesn't have enough calcium. I've added more oyster shells in the coop to rectify the issue and provided some plain yoghurt. My concern is that one hen was milfky lethargic. Not eating her favourite food (corn) and not too...

    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...

    Quackers isnt herself

    My duck Quackers was hiding in her house when I got home today around 3pm. I can’t figure out what’s wrong, she is quiet and isn’t interested in food. Usually when I get home she and her drake greet me at the door and want snacks. Lots of talking and eating goes on. She hasn’t laid an egg for...

    Help! New ducklings not eating

    I gave a friend some of my 4 week old ducklings. She’s had them almost 24hours now and says she hasn’t seen them eat. She’s had ducks before, so assuming all other conditions (temperature, correct food & water) are fine is this just from stress? Do you think they’ll be ok?

    Milky white swollen eye, not eating/drinking

    Hi! I need help diagnosing one of the girls. 3 days ago I noticed her being lethargic, barely eating and “sleeping” a lot, meaning her eyes were always shut. I separated her then.

    Curious to know

    so I’ve noticed that my chickens have stopped eating in the evenings. I’m wondering if the high humidity and high heat is causing them not to be hungry? Or if there’s another underlying factor.? They are under a giant magnolia tree that has a big canopy. They forage some but mostly dust bath and...

    My one year old female Toulouse has been lethargic for the past 4 days now. She has no interest in eating, is quieter than normal, and doesn't have much energy.

    Chick won’t eat

    my little chick, Franklin, is the only survivor of 3 that I hatched. He hatched a couple days ago and had deformed feet. I’m fixing them using the bandaid method. He’ll drink the water I give him, but he won’t eat the food I offer. I tried crushing it a little since the pieces were big.
