I have a young New Hampshire Rooster who keeps getting sourcrop/ impacted crop and has a very discolored comb.
This started about a week ago when we noticed he was acting weird, we found out it was impacted crop and my brother treated him.
He stared acting better and running around more but...
I took my Rhode Island Red, Elsa, to the emergency vet for lethargy, loss of appetite, and diarrhea. Turns out she has a bacterial gastrointestinal overgrowth of clostridium most likely causing diarrhea and dehydration. No internal or external parasites. What they were most concerned about...
So I have a disabled chicken, she has no top beak. I hand feed her twice a day with measured amounts. Shes eating less as the weather warms up but she's begun a new habit- she won't eat until around 8-9am. I want to feed them before work but she just won't eat. Comes out of the coop looking...
Hey everyone,
My pullet (she hasn’t laid yet but she’s overdue) has spent the majority of the last 2 days in the coop/around nesting boxes. When she’s out she’s a lot slower, she used to run everywhere. She’s eating & drinking but not from her normal feeders only from foraging. I saw her...
I need help!!!! We received a sweet hen (1 yr old) and unfortunately she has declined in her health recently. She was producing beautiful, brown eggs daily that began to become soft then completely broken by the time I went to retrieve them. Since then, she has stopped laying for almost 2...
I found a baby chick on the brink of death. I brought it in my home but idk what to do.

My 2 months old rooster has been drooping intestinal shed a lot. He is eating and drinking water. Water is coming out of his peck when drinking water which I'm confused if its normal. He has red parts in his feet. Today in the morning was the first time I've heard him roasting. He is very active...
My 8 week old pullet has a runny nose since the day before yesterday. She keeps both her eyes closed most of the time and even when she does open them, they open partially and are watery. You can't see the orange portion of a healthy chicken's eyes in her eyes. A few days ago the part between...
A couple of hours ago, I went outside to feed our chickens and noticed one of them was lying in the middle of the run with her head tucked underneath her wing. I didn’t think much of it because of how cold it’s been (around 0°F). When the chickens noticed the food, they all chased me around...
Hey.
I have a small Rhode Island Red hen. She’s three years old and molted a little over a month ago. I think she hurt her leg jumping onto a perch and can’t balance completely. She and my two other hens have also stopped laying eggs. This hen is showing the “no more eggs” sign witha darkened...
Hello all.
I have 8 three month old ducks and 4 one month old ducks
One of my three month old ducks started acting strange today. We found (her? We are still figuring sex out) in the coop alone. She has isolated herself almost all day. She did swim for a bit earlier but is acting strange. She...
Hi, I am speaking on behalf of a friend who needs help. She has a 6 month old silkie with a vent prolapse. We were able to get the egg out of the membrane but we can’t seem to put the intestines back inside of her. We have put her in a warm epsom salt bath and put lubricator on it to help but...
Hello, everyone! I have never posted anything on here before, so I hope someone will see this PLEASE HELP. I have two 6 month old silkies, who are both displaying respiratory stress, one more than the other. They are both quarantined as well. The first bird(the more sick one) has been sneezing...
Please let us know what this is and what we can give her. So far we are isolating her, feeding her medicated food. She is still eating in the yard, but her eyes are closed. She is walking funny-feet swollen. Poor thing. Someone said atheletes powder, but not sure if it would help
So I was putting my chickens in for the night and I have realized that my one chicken was fluffed out, she has a light pink comb, she doesn't have good balance, she lays when she eats all the time and she isn't able to go on the roosts and she has little scabs on her comb, if anyone has a lead...
My Indian Runner has been losing a lot of weight recently and she's been quiet
She's usually very loud and energetic but she's been very slow and is now being really quiet.
She's had her dewormer about a week or two ago and we feed them Purina Layena Plus Omega 3.
Please help I don't know...

After I post this thread I am going to search BYC for anything similar to this, but I wanted to post this for anyone who might be able to immediately identify the problem.
I had noticed a few times that my cockeral had a hard time breathing in the past after a lot of running, but I chalked it up...
