My girls have been free ranging today. I went this evening and found one sitting on the ground alone looking confused while everyone else has already went to bed. She looks dazed. Shes mildly responsive but not herself. Her head and neck keeps cocking to the right almost like it's stuck. Her...
Hey guys, I has posted a thread a few days ago with a different title that didn't really specify what she had. Now I'm sure that she has something going on. Her name is Gert. She is a 2 year old sapphire gem. Her face is very pale and her poop is extremely watery. She's eating, drinking, and...
Hello everyone..well one of my hens, a 2 year old Sapphire gem named Gert, isn't looking so hot.
Her comb and wattles seem way paler than the normal deep red they are, and her crop is very large. I'll have to see if it's empty by the morning, because I just noticed her crop today (so it's too...
I’m unsure if she’s molting but my chicken whom usually has a bright red face has gone to more of a pale pink. I think she is a leghorn mix, she still lays eggs, but she is around 4 years old as of last month. Shes my last chicken from my original flock so I’ve been keeping a close eye on her. I...
I will use the suggested guidelines to ensure thoroughness:
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Barred Rock hen, 7 years old, seems underweight compared to the others in the flock.
2) What is the behavior, exactly. Walks...
One of my hens has had raspy breathing, a little bit of gasping, and runny manure lately. She was sitting on the lowest roost all day except when she went to eat and drink and then roosted up high at night where she usually did.
Today she couldn't fly off the roost and I had to bring her to the...
Hello! I'm distressed and seeking advice because my only hen (sole survivor of animal attack) seems unwell: her comb/waddle has turned pale pink and drooped, which is a drastic difference from how it stood tall and red 2 months ago (picture comparison). She's been opening her mouth more...
My poor Meredith is a 17 wk Olive egger. She was fine last night and this morning, but this afternoon she has gotten SUPER pale.
She is lethargic and slower moving than normal, but not completely inactive. She is eating and drinking some but not as much as normal.
Her poop is yellow and...
My little Barred Rock, Betty, was acting strange Sunday afternoon. She was walking but a little wobbly and I noticed her neck tucked down, she was a little puffed up, and her comb, wattles, & face were very pale. So I brought her inside and put her in a pet carrier with food and water which she...
Hi fellow Chicken People 😊
My orphington, Big Booty Judy, isn't feeling her best. She's lethargic and pale. I offered her electrolytes and probiotics, she drank it earlier but not now. I have looked for lice/mites but didn't see any (are they visible to the eye?). I also cleaned put the coop...
Hi guys,
I'm new to backyard chickens so I hope anyone can help me out!
I have 3 Norfolk black Turkey poult, approx 2 months old. I've noticed over the last week that they have been sneezing, with some yellow discharge coming out of their noses.
However, yesterday when I went to see them, one...
My one-year-old really sweet RIR rooster is sick. Yesterday morning my mother noticed him moving slowly and sitting with his feathers a little puffed up, I thought it was just because of the random cold snap (my roosters a big baby he always has been) by the evening he was acting fine. Cut to...
