Hey, if someone could respond asap that would be great. My old english game hen (~9 years old) has had noises while mostly beak closed breathing (if open, not super wide, just slightly), she isn't lethargic which is good, she is still trying to be active and alert, she did have foam like bubbles...
Hello!! So, today I noticed my sweet girl Pumpkin was off. As soon as I took them out the coop she was very quiet and she huddled up in a corner. She hasn't ate or drank anything at all since waking them up and I've been keeping an eye on her to see if i could find something in her poop. Well, I...
Hey all, anyone have an idea whats up with this chick? Chick is making a wailing type noise and chirps every now and then. This started just today, the chick is active and running but lagging a bit behind its siblings. What could be going on? Idk how to embed video, so I'm linking the reddit...
Hi All,
I have six hens.
They all seem fine but one now has orange feet.
Does anyone know what this is?
Is she sick? Is it contagious? I've currently separated her from the rest of the flock.
Thanks for your help
This is my nearly-5 month old hen. She is usually very active and hungry, but she has been very lethargic and has lost her appetite for the most part (only eats some food that is hand given). She is still alert and can run if necessary to but prefers to walk. Same thing with talking, she doesn't...
My silkie hen recently went through a very heavy moult and now she is unable to walk otherwise she falls and has a very hard time pooping. When she tries to poop she tries so hard to push from how weak her muscles have become. I’m trying to feed her egg and give her supplements but is there...
I don’t have any photos at the moment but my chicken is sort of hunched over / shoulders fluffed up, fatigued (moving slowly and barely running), has a lot of dry ‘food’ and I believe regurgitated spit on her feathers under her beak and around her neck. I think it might be digestive related...
Last night we found one of our chickens lying on the ground. She is very weak and there seems to be moisture in her lungs (from what I can hear). We have separated her from the rest of the flock and she has been drinking water, but I haven't seen her eat. I've been trying to hand feed her but...
I have a light Brahma that has had a large crop for a few days now, but I just noticed that she now has troubles standing/walking and is trembling slightly.
I’m wondering if she has an impacted crop, but when I feel it it’s squishy and full, not hard like a rock.
Trembling may be due to...
Four of my young adult guinea fowl and two of my male turkeys suddenly died today. My female turkey is currently lethargic and holding her wings down. I think she may die soon. More guineas are lethargic too. One of the guineas that died was sitting on the ground just seeming a little sick and...
My 1 1/2 year old hen silkie just went through a very very heavy moult and on this period she was very weak through it. She was moulting for about a month and she had finally finished it but she is still weak and sits all day. When she does stand she trips often even when getting up. Does anyone...
Hi, everyone! I have been dealing with my chicken pecking at her feet and I’ve reached a point where I don’t know how to help her anymore. The issue started about 10 days ago when I noticed one of my hens was separated from the flock and hiding under a ladder. She ended up moving her foot and I...
I have an approx 6 month old porcelain d'uccle pullet that has started exhibiting some very generic symptoms in the past few days and was wondering if anyone could help possibly figure out what's going on before I spend the money on taking her to a vet.
Background:
Lives with her flock of 17...
I have 7 1/2 year silver Welsh harlequin female duck that about 3 months ago some of my chickens were picking on her(Sparrow) because she was broody and staying in their nesting spot. they really beat up her bill and one flipper. Her wounds are healed now. Because she was getting picked on so...
Hello all,
First off, thank you to the many folks who have posted helpful articles and guides in the past related to what I'm about to explain - everything from treating bumble foot to tube feeding ill ducks. Your help has been invaluable in conjunction with my local veterinarian.

My girl is sick! She is a three-year-old Golden Comet. She had sour crop around 2months ago. We treated with Monistat for around 6 days, with immediate results in the first 24 hours. Fast forward to the last two weeks: she's had a bad case of sour crop again, with little improvement with...
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...
