Last week, I notice that one of my Buff Orphington's wasn't acting right. She had her feathers puffed up and she wasn't eating with the rest of the flock and she would stand away from the others and isolate herself. I brought her inside because I thought she was very cold. She wasn't improving...
My silkie is with 3 other chickens and he is quite warm compared to the other chickens but we do live in Baldivis Western Australia. and I only got them a week ago so what is wrong with him? And what should I do?
Hello,
My dove is 3 years old male. He is usually a bit heavy and round around the breast. However, today he feels very light. I weighed him and he's about 109 grams. He definitely lost weight and I noticed that he is not eating, but is activie and cooing.
I'd like to add that he got a new mate...

It's broody season here at my residence and we have several hens sitting or roaming around our property. I woke up this morning and i found a her laying on the ground with most of her little ones dead. She was completely off of them...
I need help diagnosing my chicken!
Cheeko chicken is about 5 years old and has suddenly become lethargic. During the day she doesn't walk around much, and prefers to lay down which is quite unlike her. She still is still walking, just not as active, and at night she still flys up to her perch...
Today I had a hen that was kinda coughing and she died in my arms. I just got 10 new babies from another lady that sells chickens last week. I suppose maybe the respiratory issue came from there. My Flock is almost a year old and never had an issue. After crying and began reading and calling...
So o was outside refilling my quails waterer and 2 of the quail started violently shaking their head and got both of them and noticed they were spewing out a watery liquid. Help please.
Afternoon all
I have a wyndotte who first looked like she was molting, but is very thin and losing feathers-- and has a very hard gigantic crop that i just felt today. Its full of grit. Likely oyster shell. I dont know if she is eating or drinking right now, she is in a coop with 20 hens and...
My hen is healing up after being attacked by a hawk, and I think that by keeping her inside, I've given her my cold. I checked on her this morning and she was making small wheezing sounds, which she had never done before. Can anyone suggest some antibiotics (that are safe for laying hens) that I...
A couple of questions...
I've been feeding my sick chicken a raw egg mash. Also includes a variation of applesauce, Greek yogurt (0 sugar), rolled oats, Apples, & cod liver oil. Also have crushed up meal worms or grain. She is also on probiotics, Life Lytes electrolytes, and an antibiotic (from...
My baby duck, a little less than a month old was found this morning shaking in the coop. She is having trouble standing up, won't eat and barely can drink water out of a dropper. She was not showing any symptoms yesterday. For some reason this duck was born with no down on chest with a small...
I have a 6 month old Barnvelder hen who is showing symptoms of what I believe are Avian Pox (the spots on her comb & wattle) and a respiratory illness (the foamy eye).
I haven't seen either of these symptoms in my birds before, and have made these assumptions based on research I've done here at...
Ok, I got two bantams two weeks ago, a serama and a silkie cochin. Recently, the serama has let me pick her up and has been laying down any chance she gets. Today though, she hasn't been standing hardly at all. Her wings and tail are drooping and whenever I put food in her face she pecks in the...

Her name is Luna. She is approximately 5 months old. She is a black silkie. I don't know her weight.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
She seems to be eating and drinking fine. She just...
My blue-laced red, Mora, is a pullet approaching her first birthday (end of November). She has always been quite hefty since reaching laying age, but since having this problem, I fear she has been losing weight as she seems lighter when I pick her up.
Around three days ago, I noticed one side...
hi! I had this hen for about 3-4 years as a chick, she now lives with her two children, a black and and a rooster. They always have been peaceful (the two are now about two years old).

Ok, this is my second flock and I swear they are a sickly flock. My hen is very lethargic, pale, runny but no blood in her poop, tail down, vomited once when picked up and when you pick her up she puts her wings out. She is a 7 month old Rhode island red. Any information would be very much...
