hello everyone, I’m very concerned about one of my girls! I noticed a couple days ago that she was to weak to fly up into the coop.(about knee high on me, I’m a little over 5 feet) She was acting normal and foraging and eating the food and drinking the water I put out so I just put it off as the...
Two out of my three full grown hens are both going through a molt. Both also have quite pale combs, while the one who isn't molting has a bright red comb. Is this normal or should I be worried?
I have a Rhode Island Red that has been acting strange lately. She is two years old,(This is her second winter), and has already molted. Her comb and waddle are abnormally pale and small. She shakes her beak and looks like she has something in her mouth that she wants to spit out. When I let out...
I have 7 Australorp hens, 4 EE hens, 6 Partridge Rock hens, 2 EE cockerels and 3 Autralorp/EE crosses that I keep in one coop. Tonight when shutting them in I noticed one Australorp hen had a pale comb (which I take as a sign of sickness) so I checked her out and sure enough she had some yellow...
Hi Guys!
Since you were amazing last time in helping me figure out what was wrong with my chickens the last time, I figured I would ask for some more help. Recently, we were hit by Hurricane Irma and during that time my bantam hen's (tiny belle) eggs decided to hatch. I am now the proud mother...
Hi everyone. We have a very ill hen on our hands and we just do not know what is wrong. She has been very lethargic lately and just lays down under our deck and closes her eyes. Only getting up and scratching occasionally. It has been awfully hot and humid but the other girls seem to be doing...
Hello all,
I have 3 chickens. Have had them for about 2 years. Been great so far, nothing major. However, my one Rhode Island Red this week has become extremely lethargic, pale comb with a strange white power/dust on it, not laying eggs, not eating or drinking. I checked her for being egg bound...
I have an approximately 5 month old Bantam hen who is clearly sick. She has been very lethargic and slow for the last two weeks. It wasn't until three days ago I noticed one side of her nose is swollen. She keeps her eyes closed most of the day, and barely eats or drinks. Today she hasn't eaten...
One of my four barred rock hens has seemed sick for going on three weeks and I can't figure the problem out. Her face and comb are very pale and seems lethargic. Sometimes will stand with her face under her wing. HOWEVER, she's eating and drinking. I tried deworming them about five days ago and...
Hey all! So, I have a broody that's been sitting on wooden eggs for about a week and a half. I intend to slip some chicks under her at the end of next week. She will not move unless I force her off the nest to eat/drink/bathe/poop (I'm sure of this). A few days ago I kicked her off and she went...
