    Chicken drinking too much water

    Idk if this is the right place for this, but my hen is acting strange. She drinks excessively. As in, 30 minutes non stop if I don't take her out. She's also lighter than before, her nails are growing out which could mean she isn't as active, she stands half asleep with either foot tucked in...

    Sick chicken :/

    Hello all, I am new to this website as well as raising chickens. Recently we got a chicken from a friend (about a month ago) and she seems to be the only one sick in my coop. I previously had cedar shavings in the coop that I switched to pine due to advice from tractor supply. My chicken has...

    Parasite or something else?

    Good evening, I have a chicken that is molting but seems a bit too lethargic for my liking. We had a girl pass away from being egg bound last week but earlier was showing similar symptoms to this girl so I think the egg bound death was secondary to something else going around. The facts: 1...

    Hen drinking excessive water, expelling from beak and occasional diarrhoea

    Hi all, my 2 year old Wyandotte was taken to the vets two weeks ago because I suspected an impacted crop. They looked after her for a day, crop feeding some type of emergency nutrition. They also noticed her panting and prescribed antibiotics. I followed the full course, and after a week saw no...

    20 month old hen Egg Bound, nothing so far is working!

    Hello fellow chicken stewards! 1) Our Kermit is a 20 month old Ameracauna who typically weighs around 5 pounds. She feels just right at the keel bone - not too lean or too pudgy. 2&3) Hubby said she was standing off by herself two days ago, not fluffed up but just “looked unhappy.” I didn’t...

    Is my Hen sick?

    Hello! Need help with my Rhode Island Red Hen. She usually runs around with the flock. But she is standing alone as the others run off. She was normal yesterday, her vent is clean. She just isn't acting herself. She walks around for a bit, then stops. Any advice please?

    Sick chicken? Or not?

    My pet chicken, a Leghorn, was sick… is sick? I don’t know anymore. This morning, she was just standing in the downstairs part of the coop. Not moving. Unresponsive. I picked her up, checked on her, and she was lethargic, not hungry, didn’t really wanna move. She eventually hid under the porch...

    Mystery Chicken Illness?

    I posted in December (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/coccidiosis.1607010/) about a sick chicken that did not survive. She was treated with Corrid and sulfa antibiotics. I have another chicken that is starting to exhibit the same symptoms that the previous chicken had. I am hoping I...

    Sickly Chicken and Overall Low Egg Count

    Good morning! About two months ago, we found one of our leghorns passed away in the nesting box. We assumed egg bound as no other chickens were showing signs of distress, overall egg count was good, there were no signs of off colored or textured poop and no signs of mites. Because she died in...

    Sickly Serama Hen

    I got home the other day and she had serious wry neck. She is an indoor only chicken. I immediately gave her an oral dose of poultry cell. I have polish and silkies, vitamin deficiencies are always a worry. But 2 days later. Now she barely walks. Her wattles are on and off pale. I finally got...

    Sick Chickens

    My first small flock of well summers are about a year old. Last week I noticed one of the 5 had ruffled feathers and had a shrunken pale comb and waddle. I separated her and she died a day later.

    Hens suddenly stopped laying

    Our flock fell victim to predictors a few months back devastating my toddler. We found a local on craiglist with "laying hens" for sale and picked 5 more up that night to right and calm the tears. The pen they came from was full of a variety of other fowl and farm animals and tiny. After bring...
