My rooster Iapetus was laying on the shelf under the perch this morning shaking like a leaf and unable to stand, he was on the opposite side of where he was sleeping last night.
His symptoms:
Full body shaking
Weak legs he can't use them at all
Louder breathing
One eye has a little frothy foam...
I have 27 5 week old chickens. Some have shaken or "rattled" their tails etc., but we have one, a buff orpington I think, that shakes and quivers. She likes the lamp and is nervous regardless. Any thoughts?
Unfortunately, we lost another hen. This time it was Eleanor, our oldest.
I was inside my house when I suddenly heard a chicken screech. I ran outside immediately to see her being pinned down by one of our dogs, which was strange. The dog is one I have had for a while now. He is 12 years old...
I have a rooster that I bought from the fleamarket about a month ago. He finally is getting along great with the hen that I have but since a few days ago I see that his wing looks really bad and now it seems that he’s losing more feathers on his body right under the wing. Also I noticed that he...
Hi everyone! I’m new here and new to hatching. I just hatched my first group of Silkie chicks and one of them seems to be having some problems. First it took almost 30 hours to hatch, it seemed very stuck so I assisted with the hatch a little so it could get its head out. It was hatched with a...
I have racked my brain on what's going on with my 2 year old araucana (pictures included). About a month ago she started losing feathers (and I noticed many of her remaining feathers were brittle) but was still laying normally, running around with the other chickens, and eating and drinking...
My 3.5 year old isa brown has had sour crop for about a week now. There was a day where she was feeling much better, walking around, eating and drinking a lot, but her condition suddenly dropped yesterday. I've been vomiting her carefully, trying to feed her but she wont eat and syringing...
Hi,
This is my first question here. I have a silkie mix pullet/cockerel. (Too young to tell) Over all they have growing well along with its siblings. However I noticed two days ago, that is seems to be laying down alot. It still eats and drinks but does this laying down. It doesn't seem like...
I have about a two month old goose and duck, the duck runs away from me no matter what. But usually the goose runs up to me and does a little dance when he sees me, flapping his wings and jumping up and down. But today when I went to pet him like usual, he started shaking his head. Like...
Hi, I've been raising my chickens for a few years now (about 3), and they've been perfectly healthy until now. Three of them are about 1 year old, the other is about three. When they were chicks, one of my 1-y/o's were quite weak, but getting older she had become much stronger
She was still the...
About 3 days ago the wife showed me one of our 6 week old chicks was shaking and having a hard time walking normal. It used to be highly mobile and even trying to fly and roost as high up as it could get. We've got them in a metal enclosure, roughly 6' long x 2' wide x 2' tall. There are 6...
Hi, this is my first time incubating and i'm on day 16 of my Coturnix quail incubation. Iv been watching them and i don't really see them wiggling. Is that a bad sign or do they just not wiggle sometimes. Im using a Janoel 12 incubator if that helps, Thanks.
I have a livestream of them set up...
My baby duck, a little less than a month old was found this morning shaking in the coop. She is having trouble standing up, won't eat and barely can drink water out of a dropper. She was not showing any symptoms yesterday. For some reason this duck was born with no down on chest with a small...
Hi all.
Monday I got a Mille Fleur d'Uccle 12 week old cock and when the people I got him from handed him over I noticed that his feet was shaking like he was cold. I thought nothing of it because he was nervous going to a new home but he hasn't really stopped since.
Other than that he's...
Back story
We have had chickens for a while, long story short, we have about 25, mixed breeds and ages. We had a roo about three months old die after having trouble walking, no injury, just sort of stumbled around, almost looked drunk. I brought him in the house and within 24 hrs he was gone...
We orig had 4 hens, all approx 1 year old and all laying pretty regularly ( 1 Barred Rock, 1 Americauna, & 2 black Ostrolorps).
We decided introduced 4 new hens to our 4 orig girls (the new ones are 2 buff Orpington and 2 Lavender Orpington, all approx 7mnth to 1 yr old).
Two weeks after...
This is my first time having chicks. I picked them up almost two weeks ago from a local feed store. They were flown in, and likely 1 day to 3 days old when I first brought them home. I have no idea how long they were in transit. One of the chicks is a buff orpington, it was the smallest when...
Today, when I went out to feed my chickens, my young pullet was acting strange. She (I think a Brahma bantam) was sluggish and quiet. I took her out of the coop and found she had a piece of straw stuck in her throat, but when I tugged on it, it wouldn't budge. It seemed to give her difficulty...
