    Gasping Chicken

    Hi, my name is Amanda and I have a sick hen. She is a 7 month old black australorp. I noticed the other day that she was moving a little bit slower than the other chickens in my flock and that she was slightly hobbling like she hurt her foot so I made a note to keep an eye on her and bring her...

    HELP - fluid in lungs, ascites related

    My girl is very cuddly, and lets me put my ear to her back. Every time she breaths in, I can hear popping noises. She also seems to be breathing more rapidly, and has smaller poops, but otherwise has no other symptoms. She eats, drinks and acts normally. This started about 3 weeks ago, doesn’t...

    Can you give human (or dog) antibiotics to chickens?

    We have a pullet who has been sick for a while with what we think is a respiratory infection. She stopped making noise about a month ago, and started craning her head forward with her beak open a lot, which kind of looks like she's struggling to breathe. She has a good appetite though, and is...

    hi everyone! I started with chickens this spring. They are now 20 weeks old. One of my GLW pullets started making a strange gurgling congested sound, accompanied by a head shake, almost like a sneeze or cough (I've never seen a chicken do either, so not sure!). It's been about 10 days now. It...

    Questions regarding Npip

    We would like to start selling eggs/chicks, but I suspect some of our birds might be carrying MG.(or it's another respiratory thing, I don't know) We free range, so it's possible they've picked it up from wild birds. If birds are found to carry MG- are you required to cull them all? Or can you...

    Respiratory infection?

    Back again. Sorry to start a similar thread to my last but i'm reading a fair bit of conflicting advice on what to do about respiratory infections.

    Found burned (?) Chick

    So I found this chick a few hours ago on our way from Grandma's house. It looks and smells like it's been burnt. I wish I knew what happened. Anyway, I have no idea how to heal it. Any help? (I put some petroleum jelly in its head, btw. And only one of its eyes open and it can eat and move fine)

    Hello everyone! New to BYC and the city chicken life, but have received some solid advice on my chickens so far. I brought home by brood about a month ago from a swap meet, learned my lesson on that one real fast. I got a 16 week old silver Ameraucana, and a cream legbar and a Rhode rock- both...
