To cut straight to the point,
I have this little pullet I love dearly, she’s the sweetest chicken I have ever owned so far.
Recently however she hasn’t been doing so good, first I realised she’d tip over a bit when walking fast.
however now it’s to the point where she can’t even stand up...
Hello all, as you may know from my other posts, Pebble has been sick for a long time (though still happy and active for a lot of the day, she’s also suffering a lot). Today we’re putting pebble down at the vet. This morning, something was wrong with our other chicken, olive. We took her to the...
I have searched online for hours and no one seems to have a similar issue. The turkey is about 2 1/2 months old, and has grown well sense the beginning and is always pale and when you pick it up is always shaky.
We’ve tried high protein, different feed, electrolytes, probiotics, nothing works...
Hello everyone,
I just woke up this morning to let my 3 chickens out and they were all completely fine. Then, in the afternoon, my 2 year & 10 month old female easter egger, started to have her tail down, eye closed but she still wanted to eat and could peck. But whenever she peck she would...
Hello everyone, my friend's chicken is looking very sickly, so I'm posting here to get her some help... I will try to update y'all with more info about the chicken when she's able to help me with that.
They said she has a puffy chest, swollen vent, and a blue abdomen + legs. Any ideas for what...
Hello everyone,
I need your help right now, my 2 year & 10 month old leghorn hen started laying soft shelled eggs a month ago. I started to feed her 1 calcium tablet (600mg) daily for 4 days but didn't see her lay an egg anymore, so I stopped with the tablets. At that time, she was still acting...
Hello everyone,
I have a leghorn hen that is 2 year & 9 months old and today she was acting very lethargic with her feathers down, tail down. I came to the suspicion that she could of been suffering from vent gleet since her vent is all dirty and wet with this white discharge. I also noticed...
Okay so my rooster just recently died and i’m not sure why. He’s around a year old and had been acting weird the past few days. He was acting lethargic and tired. I didn’t notice him not eating/drinking but I don’t think he was doing much of either. A few days ago i decided to take a look at him...
Hello, I’ve been having issues with my chicks, I think they’re sick. There were 10 and they are around four days old, and two days ago we found one very lethargic in their chick box. We picked her up, put her on a heated blanket while watching her and ordered sav-a-chick. The first was a black...
I’ve had a cough for a couple of days and no other symptoms. I was just wondering if my chickens can get sick from me? I know they have sensitive respiratory systems so I don’t want to get them sick.
My EE bantam roo started acting off about a week ago. He seemed to have less interest in interacting with the other chickens, which is very unusual for him. It started getting worse a few days ago so I brought him inside. He’s eating only a bit, and i’m giving him water through an eye dropper...
Please someone help. I have a hen, around 15 weeks old. She started acting oddly a few days ago, being very lethargic, gasping for air, and not eating much. We thought it might be the heat, and brought her inside for a few days. I checked her crop to see if it’s impacted and it’s not. Now about...
Hello all, My hen has once again gotten sick, None of my other hens have gotten sick so I’m not as experienced as most of you when it comes to diagnosing but so far I’ve noticed she’s been avoiding eating, her crop was soft and squishy when I took her out this morning, she’s been pooping as...
Hello,
I have a 4 day old Lavender Orpington chick who was going fabulous until I check on her tonight. Yesterday, she was running around with all her other buddies but was a little unsteady on her feet but otherwise was great. I had lost a chick earlier yesterday who didn't take the mail trip...
Hello all, while at work my mother texted me saying one of my hens was sick, so far she’s noticed she:
• has been eating/drinking very little
• crop is soft
• has been in both nesting areas but no egg
• and was panting/sitting or laying somewhere alone
she gave her a warm bath in case she was...
So I went out to the coop this morning and found an ostraloop that wouldn't walk. I don't know what's wrong. She had diarrhea. She won't move to get food or water. There are no injuries that I can find. She is about 7 months old. Is she sick what should I do?
Since July my flock of silkies have been getting a strange illness. It started with a year old hen, she dropped off quick, first lethargic barely moving then dying within the 2nd day dead. I thought that was the end of it until 3 weeks later a year old rooster, showing different symptoms...
Hi Folks,
How long do I keep chickens in quarantine if watching for signs of Marek’s? Or, gulp, do I just cull them all? 😔
I’ve got a small backyard flock and had a chicken die with leg paralysis and lethargy. I’m suspecting Marek’s because the older hens are vaccinated, but I let one of my...
