    Cause of death to my chick?

    This is day three with new chicks and ducklings. We bought 11 chicks and three ducklings and have been keeping them together in a very large brooder tote. This is my second time brooding chicks. They are under a heat lamp and seem to have the appropriate temperature in their brooder. I have a...

    6 mo old lethargic, trouble with balance, panting

    Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me this morning. One of my 2 Cream Legbars became lethargic last weekend and almost seemed depressed. While free-ranging, she would sleep in random spots when all the others were pecking about. Her vent looks healthy but I noticed her poop was runny...

    Wobbly, Off-balance Silkie

    I am writing about my 2 year old silkie hen, Sneaker, who is acting strange: wobbling and standing off-balance. She is eating and pooping totally normally, and she still runs around and acts normal. She seems strong, fighting with a lot of gusto to get down if she doesn't want to be held. I'm...

    Help!

    Someone help! We found an odd Guinea fowl from the store because it was by itself. It can't walk, seems off balance, and the skin near it's beak raises up when it breathes. What could possibly be wrong? We have no experience with Guinea so we need help :(

    Stumbling chicken

    Hey guys! I’m new here and we need help! One of my about 6-7 mo lavender Orpington hens is stumbling around, off balance. Anytime she leans forward to peck or tries to walk/run, she ends up falling face first. She often flaps to sit back up and seems to go backwards better than forward. She...

    Sick or Hurt Hen

    My Isa is my baby. It was a shock to go outside today and find her unable to stand, last night at about 11pm she was perfectly fine. I found no injuries, but she sometimes squeezes her eyes shut like she's in pain. She keeps her legs tucked underneath of her. If I make her stand normally, she...

    Duck off balance!

    Hi, I have a 10 week old Mallard, she's a house duck (long story) and I've been nappy/diaper training her recently. Had her wear one all night last night and today she's really off balance, can barely stand or walk. I don't know if the two things are related, it just seems very sudden because...

    Hello! My chicken, Petunia, is an almost four-year-old Leghorn (she was a rescue from a hatchery, so we got her when she was two years old and have had her since July 2017, I assume her life in the hatchery was stressful). She's gotten sick before (I thought on the brink of death) and Corid...

    Help please: Off balance chicken not pooping

    Hey all- I would love some help with my 9 month old Rhode Island Red, Tilly. This morning when she came out of the coop, she was super off balance. She can’t seem to stand on her own two feet. I gave her a warm bath and put her in chicken quarantine. This evening, she’s still not standing...
