    Does this wet eye look like mycoplasma?

    Hi, my one year old Wyandotte laying hen is sick with a respiratory infection. I’m trying to work out how to treat her as another flock member was put to sleep a couple weeks ago, assuming the same pathogen, and that hen didn’t really respond to the two classes of antibiotics we can get OTC here...

    Post worming respiratory issue?

    I dewormed my flock of 21, 2 year old red sex link chickens, 3 weeks ago. 9 days ago 2 started showing respiratory symptoms: wheezing, coughing & sneezing. I immediately separated (quarantined) them in my makeshift hospital, away from the coop & cleaned & disinfected the coop. The other 19 never...

    Help with possible respiratory illness??

    Hi all, I have a very old girl that I rescued two or so months ago and have been nursing back to health. She’s been going really well until maybe two weeks ago when she started coughing. The coughing seem to happen most when she’s eating too quickly or if she over exerts herself. She also...

    Dog attack, crop impaction, and respiratory issues

    Here is my previous post about Val’s dog attack. The saga continues! She’s been doing well after having her egg removed. Some feathers are growing back but the worst wounds are still healing and scabbed up. I’ve let her outside a few times in short visits to be a chicken, she seems good. BUT...

    Chickens gaping and shaking head

    I have two ISA Browns, roughly a year old, who have been previously healthy. Today I noticed both of them gaping consistently; is this a respiratory issue? As well as gaping, they keep shaking their heads, as if trying to get something off. Is this symptoms for a disease or am I overreacting...

    Help needed: gander seems sick, with severe gaping

    The gander was eating normally until yesterday (Aug. 4). Yesterday, he ate much less than normal (sudden loss of appetite) and had severe head-and-neck-forward gaping multiple times. Today (Aug. 5), he hasn't eaten much, either, and still has gaping. I gave him water mixed with Sav-a-Chick...

    Respiratory and reproductive problems

    In February I posted something about my chicken who was having a lot of issues. At first she was wheezing and panting, and then she laid a weird rubber egg after not laying for a long long time. She seemed to get better, so I thought she recovered, but now the exact, and I mean EXACT same thing...

    Sand bath but instead it's all sweet PDZ...literally

    We have sweet PDZ stall refresher that I told my mom multiple times that it is not the same as the coarse sand used for the quails' sand bath as she keeps mistaking the two. I even put them in different colored containers with labels away from each other. She changed the sand bath for once and I...

    Wry Neck and Swollen Earlobe

    I've been treating a chicken for wry neck. She seemed to be getting better, then went backwards, hardly being able to hold her neck up at all. Today, I noticed her left earlobe is swollen (beginning stages... no debris, discharge, or sores). She's also been mouth breathing, so I have to assume...
