I have a hen who is almost four. She has been a little slow the last month but seemed to be in good health. I noticed her going off by herself more but nothing too abnormal. Last night when I closed up the coop she was on one side alone and almost seemed blind.she ran into my legs and out the...
This morning I noticed my White leghorn hen was just staying still. I don't feel any egg that could be stuck, no sneezing, eyes look bright, little wobbly. I separated her from the rest of the flock. Does anyone have any ideas? Also she is only like 2 years old.
Hello,
Back in December, right before Christmas, one of me hens (Rhode Island Red, 2 2/3 years old) stopped eating and was acting lethargic; she also started limping. I took her to the vet, got antibiotics and she got better in no time. Fast forward to last week and yet another hen started...
Patricia is a Wyandotte just over a year old. We saved her from a not great living situation in June where her issue had developed and now has set in.
She is losing feathers, but definitely not molting as there are no follicles left on the skin. It's just seems to be bare skin below. And the...
Would please love your help for our poor 1.5 year old Easter Egger! She has been making a gasping motion since yesterday (about 24 hours ago). Here is a VIDEO. When we first noticed she was breathing funny, she was hunched in the corner of the run by herself. We have had high temperatures in the...
My sweet girl Dixie was sluggish and sat down when she ate she also had this really bad poopy butt.
She is getting better, she is still slow but not waddling by feeling her keel she seems to have lost weight compared to other chickens. She still has the bad diarrhea and I wash her behind with...
Hello! I've never written on this forum before but my family and I could really use some help on determining what is wrong with one of our chickens.
Here are some photos: (let me know if you can't see them)
Her feet have been getting worse over some time. We didn't think it was bumblefoot...
We bought our chicken not too long ago, we bought 2 and not too long after we bought them Rosey (out of nowhere) died. She was very up and going the day before, and then out of the blue she just laid down and wouldn’t move and closed her eyes and couldnt hold her head up. I tried feeding her...
Hey all - -
I’ve got a 4YO hen who started acting strangely the last day or so:
-laying in the run alone instead of free-ranging with sisters
-pretty poopy, it seems a bit green as well
When I go near her she just gets up and slowly walks a few feet away and lays back down.
One of my chickens has been getting sick with the same symptoms every few months and I’m unable to see a vet. The symptoms she has is lethargy, lack of appetite, gurgling sounds from her stomach, red, swollen and sore vent with discharge. I think this time there’s been small bits of blood? I...
I have an approximately 2-year old Plymouth Barred Rock hen. She has been, up til now, a perfectly healthy bird and a good layer.
Earlier this month, I noticed she was laying down a lot in the coop - I figured she was simply broody. However, her bottom was somewhat messy and she seemed...
A couple of weeks ago my lavender orpington hen started showing symptoms of illness. I’ve decided to make a post displaying her exact symptoms.
Her poop is yellow and gets stuck to her feathers often (i have to clean it off every couple of days).
She is not eating or drinking. She has gotten...
One of my chickens, Caramel, has had sour crop for couple of days. I have isolated her from the rest of the flocki order to treat her. I fed her only water for nearly a day but and in morning her crop is mostly empty, though a small amount of food refuses to leave the crop. I know making her...
Hi everyone,
I am having some issues with my hen and need some help.
A while back I realized there was water getting into my chicken’s food and they unfortunately got sick. I was pretty sure it was coxi and treated it with the recommended medicine and also some apple cider vinegar afterwards...
I thought I knew what was wrong with Rocky, and found a solution, but she doesn’t seem to be getting better. I suspect that she has sour crop, and just needs a lot more attention, but I’ve never seen these symptoms that she’s showing.
-A brown/orangish fluid leaks out of her beak whenever she...
Hi my hen is a Rhode Island Red and is only just over a year old. Yesterday she stood around the garden and wouldn’t move but I didn’t think much of it. She usually has a problem laying every so often because she lays double yolks and is always fine. But today was worse. She has stood in the...
My speckled Sussex is acting strange. she is not laying but is just sitting on the eggs the other girls lay, she is not eating much unless I hand feed her and even then she won't eat much, and she isn't aware of her surroundings. I really worried.:barnie
I wanted to call a vet and see what...

Hi.
I have two very sick chickens at the moment. It started yesterday with one of them, we came home and she was lethargic, unable to walk and was struggling to lift her head. Came home again today and found the same thing with her (half) sister. The first one was able to drink from a dropper on...
Hello, I’m new to chicken keeping and need your help!!
I purchased a 13 month old Salmon Faverolle on Friday the 15th along with 4 other 12-14 month birds. I’ve had her for exactly one week. The man I got her from brought her to me hanging upside down by her feet. While he had her upside down...
