There’s nothing physically wrong with her feet or legs. No bumble foot or wounds. Bought her recently, and noticed strange behavior. Walks off balance, stiff like. Appetite is good. Otherwise healthy bird.
Hi all,
I'm a first-time mum for my three babes and got them when they were a day old. I've read all the info and love them all so much (my workmates constantly ask how my chickens are doing).
I wanted to ask if anyone has had this problem before - one of my girls has stopped growing. A bit of...
So, about a week ago, I noticed one of my show hens was acting kind of funny. She was limping a little and had a few of her feathers missing on her back. Well, today when I got home, she was tucked in the corner, head first. When I would walk away and come back, she’d be standing and look ok...
Chick was diagnosed as mushy/pasty bottom but i’m thinking its the other problem- yolk not properly absorbed. I have tried to upload a video of it wobbling but still pecking, but can’t upload , so here’s a photo.
The chick IS walking , EATING, and DRINKING, and following mum when she shows them...
Hi everyone, I need advice, I'm worried about my girls. I have a small flock of seven hens, all of different varieties, Buff Orpington, Rhode Island Reds, Easter Eggers, and Speckled Sussex they're coming up on a year old in April (we enjoy their eggs, and they’re our pets only) they are all...
She's in the corner, puffed up and sleeping during the day, when she walks it is a slow and kind of clumsy walk. Is she sick? She barely reacted when I offered her greens.
Help! What should I do??
Merry (early) Christmas.
We're new here to the forum and relatively new to owning chickens as well. For the past 9 months we've had almost no problems at all but recently we've noticed a few spots on some of the girl's combs. We've already poked around in the forums and see we're hardly the...
I have a chicken that is very puffy and is just standing, she was doing this last night so we brought her in and she seemed fine, now she is doing it again her poop's are liquid. She is walking but only if we make her. She is inside now but when she is in her yard she goes straight to the coop...
Hello!
Over the last two days, I have noticed that our Blue-Splash Maran, Parmesan, has not been herself. She has become lethargic, she falls asleep standing up in the middle of the yard. She also does not run up to receive snacks, she just watches. I have not seen her drink a lot but she does...

Hi guys. I am a first time free range chicken owner. I purchased 1 black Orpington girl, a white (ish) polish girl ( I think) and 2 silkie/Polish mixes. They were 6-8 wks old when I got them which makes them currently about 12-14 weeks of age, the black Orpington (Matilda) being the oldest and...
2 days ago I noticed that a whole host of my hens started attacking one of my 2 year old hens. My existing flock of 7 hens have been together in a coop for over a year. The hens jump on top of the victim (even the one on the bottom of pecking order), one tries to bite her neck and the others...
