Okay, here's the full story.
I have three 6 year old Americana hens, and one of them has water belly, that has been figured out sometime ago. I've had her drained regularly, but this recent time was the first time I did it myself. I noticed she was kind of sluggish so I figured it was time to...
I have a hen that's had some trouble with laying eggs lately.
Today I went to check on them since it's been raining & give them some mash. She was up on a perch by herself with her wings dropped (touching the branch). She is a weird one who will lay ANYWHERE! So I took a second to see if I...
Hello, I just let my chickens free range yesterday since I was home and today when I went out in the run their poop was all turquoise colored, it has never been this way before, should I be worried about it? Or is it just because they had access to so much extra foliage that it Is normal? TIA!
Yet another de-worming thread on this forum, however I would just like to verify the things I've gleaned off of this website as well as ask for help with what I think are severely ill chickens (at least one of them!)
So I made a mistake, we saw some "1 year old hens" for sale locally of...
Hi all,
New chicken mama here. I’ve been doing lots of reading here but felt like I wanted to ask for my own reassurance.
We got our chicks almost 2 weeks ago (Friday will be 2 weeks). Last night, we noticed two of the four had runny poop and one (Tuck) was pooping a lot. One time she pooped...
Hello, I need any sort of help figuring out what could be wrong with my chicken. Unfortunately, a vet is not an option for me, but I wish you do anything I can to help this chicken survive
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)...
My 4 year old wyandotte hen is acting totally normal, eating and drinking normal, running out of the coop each morning. The only thing wrong is her poop is weird. Semi-clear liquid with some solids mixed in.
Every once in awhile she'll drop a semi normal one.
I just dewormed her with valbazen...
I have four hens all around 6 1/2 months old. They are all laying eggs completely normally and eating fine. It seems like out of nowhere my hens developed really dirty butts. What could be causing this? And how can I treat it?
Hi, I’ve looked through this forum many times before for help, but for this i couldn’t find anything looking similar. @azygous I was wondering if you knew anything about this, It looks as if its in small chunks.Thats all, Thanks.
I looked at chicken feces charts, and am unsure how to categorize this... Also, it dried a bit, but a few minutes ago, it had a bit more white around the main fece....

One of my (3 week old) chicks seems to struggle with big (painful) poops and currently is slightly prolapsed.
I’ve witnessed her having a large poop, and “cheep cheep cheeping” like there’s discomfort, so I’m of the mindset that she’s straining from that, not heat? However I know I read...
My rooster Bobbo has always been a bit of a weirdo, but lately I have noticed him chewing on goat poop. I also saw him swallow a piece, which is very strange. I feed him plenty of food and give him snacks during the day, so I don’t believe it is because he is hungry. He also has 1 1/2 nice acres...
New chicken keeper here. My little Silkie splash hen had some red stringy stuff in her poop today. Picture attached. Should I be worried?
Some more info on my girl: I got her back in October. She is supposedly a little over a year old. She just started laying eggs for me in November. I’ve...
Hi I went in to my chickens coop this morning and I looked on The floor and I saw this. It looks like worms in a pile of bloody poo there was more but I must've stepped on it. Can anyone tell me what this means and how to treat it
I’ve been keeping calls for almost a decade now, but this is the first clutch I’ve raised indoors (due to weather and parental rejection) meaning I’ve been able to much more closely monitor their diets and poops. They’re almost five weeks now and have started pooping mostly liquid, sometimes...
Hello! I am new to the chicken world. I have a 17 week old Olive Egger whose poop seems abnormal. I recently purchased her and 3 other pullets a week ago. She is eating, drinking, scratching, and acting like a normal chicken as far as I can tell. I spend between 30 minutes to an 1 hour a day...
Found in coop. 5 week old chicks that have just been moved outside. Not sure which one it is - so I split the group in half for the night and will try to figure out from there. Kinda crazy bc these guys have only been outside grazing the last 5-7 days and temps haven’t been above 73 so not...
