Hi, one of my chicks is having weird looking poos. They’re all on medicated feed and about less than a week old. I’ve also been mixing apple cider vinegar into their water. All have been eating and drinking normal and regularly.
Google said something about cecal poop, I thought it could be that...
Hello!
I have a single bantam rooster. I've had him for 5 years. He was originally with 2 other hens who passed away unfortunately. The last hen passed away about 3 weeks ago.
I was scared that my rooster would become lonely, he had started roaming a lot less and eating less.
To hopefully solve...
New to the chicken world. I have a barred rock who was laying consistently. On Sunday we found 2 of our golden comets dead. Unsure why. Then we noticed our barred rock was starting to show signs of egg bound or just sick. Super runny poops and swollen. Gave baths and found she wasn't egg bound...
Hi there, so one of my hens who is the top of the pecking order hasn’t been feeling her best the last few days. I noticed her bum was getting diarrhea stuck to it and have been closely watching her droppings where she has been sleeping at night and I’ve also seen her poop while I’ve been out...
This is Betty. For the past week she’s been lethargic, sitting in the same spot barely moving, her eyes were swollen shut and now the slightly open and cloudy/glossy. Won’t eat or drink on her own, I have to give her water through a dropper. She poops but it’s super liquidy. She recently started...
I’m a bit of a newbie chicken owner, I’ve had chickens for about 3 years now but I haven’t ran into any problems until now. My Brahma hens and Roo have diarrhea. They are about 11 months old and act healthy other wise. They are eating and drinking fine. I’m in Texas and the weather has been...
HAAALPP, what is going on with my 7 month old buff Violet.
Symptoms:
-She is pooping green diarrhea, about a week now but thought it was just from eating greens.
-a little bit lethargic, sleeping often
-not wanting to eat her crumbles (but will pick at hard boiled egg yolk)
-still drinking a...
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
She is a 18 week old, pearl white leghorn. Not laying yet. She feels very very thin compared to the others
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
She wouldn't come out of the coop this morning...
My approximately 1 year old Ameraucana, Nettle, hasn't been her usual self this week.
I let all my hens (6 total) out of their coop/run every morning, but yesterday and the day before Nettle had little energy. She would come out and just plop down in the grass while everyone else scratched...
I have two 8-9 month olds and two 8-10 week olds. I’ve been alternating them between a coop/small run and a tractor each day. You can read the full background of this set up here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/bad-start-with-chickens-now-what.1470318/
The younger ones are active when...
Need suggestions asap please 😭
4 weeks Polish, got her as days old from McMurray. Vaccinated marek and cocci.
She was out in the coop 3 days ago with three other 4 weeks old chicks, two 7 weeks old easter eggers, and one 10 weeks old true blue. They were all inside together and out in the coop...
We have a little quail buddy (4-5 weeks old) and he hangs around us all the time and begs for attention. Wonderful, we love him! BUT yesterday night as we were giving him his evening pets, we noticed he had runny wet poop that got stuck to him bum and his entire backside is constantly wet. We...
1) What type of bird, age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
Ginny is a Speckled Sussex. I believe she is 3 years old (not completely positive on that). I don't know her weight, but she doesn't seem to be lighter than normal.
2) What is the behavior...
Ok, so I have 5 Bantam silkies and one has runny poop. All 5 are almost 3 weeks old. They have plenty of fresh water and chick starter feed. They have access to heat and clean pine shavings. The chick with runny poop seems to be eating and drinking plenty. The poop is liquid like , dark brown ...
My Rhode Island Red has been having trouble breathing for almost three full days now. I just introduced her to some new pullets who were being treated for gape worm. Initially I thought this was what she was suffering from, but treatment had no effect on her symptoms. She hasn't been eating...

She is a Barred Rock, 3 years old, don't know her exact weight, but definitely feels lighter than normal.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
Extreme lethargy, wings hanging down, comb and...
I have an Americauna rooster, Merlin, who is under a year old. A few days ago I noticed he and one of my hens had what appeared to be vent gleet. I have treated both with an epsom molasses water, probiotics, electrolytes and yeast cream, plus a spray of Verteracyn daily. The hen seems to be...
I have a hen who hatched from my Easter egger rooster/ hen about a year ago. She has had chronic diarrhea for as long as I can remember. She is seemingly healthy otherwise. She did lose her feet to frostbite last year when she was 3.5 months old which delayed her growth quite a bit but she does...
2 days ago my pullet came out of the hoop coop limping. No matter how much space you give them they like to pile up like circus performers on the roosts so I thought perhaps the Brahma sat on her. We checked her legs and hips. Everything felt fine. I thought she would just work it out. She...
Hi, I have been reading posts on BYC for years but this is my first time posting. I need your expert and experienced advice. I have a buff orpington who started acting strange last week and I have 5 other seemingly healthy chickens.
Here is was I see:
