Hey all. I need some advice ASAP please. I have a 2yr old silkie that started this strange head thing last week. Instantly thought "Vitamin deficiency " brought her inside and started her on vitamins. Also treated for mites. Here we are a week later and no improvement, shes actually worse...
Hi Everyone,
I have a 2-year-old red sex link hen that puffs up and gets lethargic during the evenings. During the mornings and afternoons she seems okay- her stance is normal, she has normal looking poops, and she walks around and is alert and attentive like she would act when she was...
Hi! I’m hoping I can get some advice as what to do for my hen. She has been lethargic and puffed up. She isn’t drinking water but she is grazing in the yard and eating some of her food just not as much as usual. Her poop is runny but not bloody and I can’t see any worms or anything noticeably...
1) Easter Egger Hen, 2 yrs old, getting thinner by the day/significant weight loss
2) Not her normal self, not joining the flock (free range), staying close to coop, puffed up/cold looking, laying down, unable to stand, falls over everytime she tries to stand. Less mobility with each passing day...
was told today one of the girls didn’t want to come out of the coop. went outside and she’s puffed up. she still goes after food and water, but she isnt talking and moves very rigidly. her crop is small and it isn’t sour/impacted. i would say egg bound but that would be weird because she hasn’t...
Hi all!
One of my lovely sash chickens is looking a bit worse for wear. She was fine yesterday, laid no problem and seemed ok this morning when I let them out, but when I went into the coop this afternoon to check on food and water she just stat in a corner of the run. (they normally come...
She's in the corner, puffed up and sleeping during the day, when she walks it is a slow and kind of clumsy walk. Is she sick? She barely reacted when I offered her greens.
Help! What should I do??
Okay so kind of a long story! I have one 8 week old coturnix female. I had recently gotten 5 two week old coturnix quail babies and had them in a separate cage due to age difference. For some unknown reason 4 of the babies passed over a span of 4 days despite my efforts. With one baby left and...
One of my girls, an Australorp (who is vastly different from her sweet sister!), has never been a huge fan of people and can get a little testy with the other girls. Recently, whenever she sees me or hears my voice, she will emit a shrill growl and puff up. She'll stalk around the run making...
My OEG bantam hen has been acting very weird all day. she has been puffed up and just standing around, she seemed fine this mourning though. It is fall here in Michigan and we just got our first bit of snow, I don't know if she may have gotten chilled. She is around 6 months old, and has just...
My 3 year old hen started yesterday ruffling her feathers and just kinda sitting there. She just got done molting last month. She has poop on her feathers. Her abdomen feels not hard or extra soft and squishy. She did eat some yogurt but doesn’t seem to want feed. I brought her in and gave her a...
Gosh, I have a sick chick in with my broody hen, Buff, and 8 other chicks. They are 4 weeks old today.
My lavender orp chick is puffed up and I think has coccidiosis. She is still eating
Questions I have:
How do you treat with Corid (amount/ length of time)?
Should I give electrolytes and...

My Flock: 3 hens, raised together since the day I got them, all laying, none molting, 16 months old
Recently, I noticed Parmesan (my 3rd place hen) getting picked on in the mornings by Marsala (my 1st place hen). This was going on for a few days...
I have a Chinese painted quail who is about 4 weeks old who suddenly fell ill without any sign of being sick beforehand, I heard it doing the "Whee" chirps quite loud and when I checked I saw it flopping along the cage floor trying to keep up with it's siblings and parents. I took it out and it...
