Hello 👋🏻 so this is my first year with a handful of chickens (and we absolutely love them 😊). Our gold laced Wyandotte, Nora (one of the sweetest hens and a favorite), definitely has a cold. Between advice from a friend who's had chickens for years and tractor supply, I have her inside (I have a...
Hello all,
Been a while since I’ve had to post. Sadly I’ve got two sick chickens. The first one was find running around with the others till about 2pm then she wouldn’t walk and seamed just tired. Brought her inside for the night since it was colder out and she was already cold. She warmed up...
She’s been sick before, but she’s the Roo’s favorite hen.
I just found out I have ANOTHER Roo.
They tagteamed her so much she bled.
ATP, I may end up culling her because of her health. She’s scared and stressed.
Should I cull her?
Also, getting rid of the crooked beak Roo. He’s a jerk...

Hello all! My poor pekin drake was bitten by a dog. He was bitten near his crop, which is why I think he doesn’t want to eat anything! He’s been to see the vets but they didn’t seem keen on trying to stich it, so we’re going to see how he goes. He’s on anti-inflammatories and anti-biotics.
The...
Hi all. Please help!
My beautiful 11 month old Wyandotte hen is lethargic and ‘sick’.
This is the third night of her illness, the first night when she didn’t roost, I thought she was broody just on the ground, second day my partner said she was sleeping standing up all day! (I was at work...
Hello all! I have an 8 month old Blue Copper Maran who has been a little off the last 3 days or so. Kind of foraging, kind of self isolating. Just not as active and perky and not eager to eat treats. She has had clear watery poop since this has started and has not been laying. She has been...
I just bought an entire quail set-up with 3 pens and ~40 birds. One has been acting sickly. It’s doing better now. I noticed it was lethargic last night. It’s a 4-week old coturnix quail. It was puffed up and was incredibly calm (didn’t try to escape me). I also noticed it was very skinny so...
Hello,
I've noticed that several of my hens have a lot of feathers missing, especially around their necks, backs, and tail areas. Their skin looks exposed in places, and it seems like more feathers are showing up in the coop than usual.
They’re also laying significantly fewer eggs than they...
Hello everyone, help needed. We have a young rooster (4-5 months old), who has been sick maybe for a month already. Last month i saw that is eye was looking weird, it was bubbling, i posted the photos here, got some replies that it could be coryza or mycoplasma. At first i tried to give some eye...
One of my 3 Black Copper Marans spent most of the day on the nest yesterday. She is 6 months old. I took 5 eggs out from under her. ( as she 'screamed' at me and pecked the heck out of my hand & arm). I was able to get her to eat a few bites of soft cantaloupe and a few sips of water. I left a...
I have six runner ducks and five chickens. The chickens' routine fecal test came back positive for roundworms so I started deworming both flocks. They don't live together but they share a fence. I've seen no real symptoms other than decreased egg production in both. I'm day three into Aquasol...
I have a Buff Orpington about 1 1/2 years old and a bit on the small side relative to the others chickens of the same breed. For nearly a week she has been relatively idle, wings drooping, and she just sits and does nothing. As of yesterday, though idle, she still ate and drank. Her waddle looks...
Hi,
I have included a picture of my hens watery poop. I noticed it yesterday after washing her and it happened again today after another soak. Is this caused by stressed or should I be concerned about something going on inside. She’s never been dewormed.

I have a five year old hen...
I have a 4 year old chicken who has watery, green poop. I don't know what is going on with her. I have been treating her for Vent Gleet and now she has fly strike which I am also treating. I have never had anything like this happen before and ive been a chicken mom for 4.5 years. I do not see...
I have this hen who is around 1 year old. I found her on the floor unwilling to move and really lethargic. I gave her some water with electrolytes to see if it was dehydration, but when I picked her up she threw up a brown looking liquid that smells like poop. I’m not sure what to do.
My duck has been breathing like this for a week now and it seems to get worse then it’ll be better but I’m worried now she isn’t going to make it. Could it be aspergillus exposure? I have 1 other duck and 5 chickens that are all perfectly fine. What can I do to help her?
Relatively new chicken keeper here,
We were out of town for a day and a half. We just got back yesterday. This morning we noticed that one of our 1 year old australorps was suddenly lethargic and not moving around very much. She was stiff, hunched over, kind of squatting, with her feathers...
