    Mucus buildup

    Hi, my gold laced orpington started laying two days ago. The problem started well before that but that’s just an age perspective. The last week or so she has been opening her mouth a lot like she’s chocking on something and trying to get it out. I’ve looked in her beak and there is nothing stuck...

    Heat Exhaustion or Respiratory Illness?

    It was very hot today and I noticed one of my hens mouth breathing more so than others. I’ve brought her inside and I’m not sure if this is from the heat or a respiratory illness. Please advise? VIEW VIDEO (you may have to download it to view) I’ve provided some electrolytes with water.

    Emergency/disease

    I have a twelve chicken flock. My buff orpington, Patty was not in the roost the other night when I went to close the coop door. We had recently got a new lighting setup for my coop, and I figured it just needed to be adjusted and it was too dark for her to want to jump onto a roost. So I picked...

    Chickens Occasionally Sneezing Clear, Watery Fluid

    Not sure if this is normal, but I've noticed some of my chickens sneeze easily, particularly in the evening and/or right after eating something moist like watermelon or mash. It's generally the 3-4 same chickens out of seven. When they get sneezy it looks like a clear, watery substance that...

    Respiratory disease or gape worm??

    Hi, this is my first post here. I'm hoping to get some advice. I have 5 chickens; 2 are adults (not sure how old, I got them as adults about 4 months ago) and 3 are 21 weeks (I got them at 12 weeks). About a month ago, I lost a 6th (adult) bird to a red-tail hawk (I have had chickens for...

    Sick silkie chick

    I am hoping someone can help me! I have (6) 6 day old silkie chicks. I received them 8/30 and one was just noisy as can be, so I checked her out and noticed one of her eyes was just half way open. I would say it also looks a bit more swollen than the other. I wiped with warm water, and have been...

    Respiratory disease in chicken/duck mixed flock; do I treat both?

    Hello! I am new to raising chickens (and ducks). About a month after introducing 4 new pullets to our flock of 10 ducks, I noticed one of them had a swollen eye. I quarantined her for a while and was treating naturally for coryza (colloidal silver, garlic, ACV). She seemed better, except for...

    How long do respiratory diseases stay in environment?

    My whole flock is suffering from some form of respiratory illness. I know you can control most respiratory illnesses with meds, but I also know most cause them to be carriers for life. I've had so many problems and heartache with this flock already I believe I am ready to cull and start fresh in...

    Am I doomed?

    Hi there, I'm new here and to owning chickens. Being new I had no idea there was a risk for illness to be passed from chicken to chicken, I should have done my research better first :( I got a few chicks from a really sweet couple about 6 weeks ago. I went to their hobby farm and picked out...

    A Lesson In Adding To My Flock

    This spring has been one of many lessons concerning chick health and diseases. I feel like I’ve experienced nearly all of them this year. Last year I only lost one to an unsupervised nephew but this year I have lost to cocci, accites, sour crop and most frustratingly, respiratory disease (MG)...

    New chick mommy here ‍♀️ Recently acquired our starter flock of rainbow chicks (the breed, not dyed chicks) about 2 weeks ago.

    Congestion in chicks?

    I have one roughly six week old sebright that sounds like it’s breathing through snot and I’ve seen sneeze a few times. There is also a amber colored discharge from his nostrils. He is perfectly active but I want to catch this early. Everything I’ve read sounds pretty horrid and I certainly...

    To cull or not to cull? In need of advice.

    Hi, fairly new chick owner here. I have an established flock of 3. In February I decided to expand my flock with some chicks. I got two from a farm, not a hatchery. This is the worst luck with chicks I’ve ever had. First one had a respiratory infection, it was treated, and recovered. ( I now...
