    Chicken hunched and found these droppings

    I noticed my chicken hunched up and today found this in the coop. I’m not sure if it’s her but I separated her anyway. Is this normal?

    11 weeks old, still not walking

    Story: Our girl Bonita (Orpington): We made a huge mistake at the beginning by putting straw around the inside perimeter of their brooder. We quickly learned that it was too slick for their baby legs and at a few weeks old her and another chick were having a hard time walking. We took the straw...

    Sick chicken

    Hi, I posted a thread about my chicken and I’m so thankful for people who responded to that one. I’m hoping to reach more people. My one year old chicken is not seeing properly, keeping her one eye shut and yesterday she managed to eat lots if I keep my hand close to her eye. She can’t aim and...

    Two of my chickens are dying suddenly

    I have 1 1/2 year old chickens and we suddenly had a drop in temperatures in the 30-20's. They have a heat lamp in the coop to stay warm, and was fine up until a few days ago, a couple days after the temps started changing. I noticed two of my girls just standing fluffed up, that night not able...

    Newly hatched chick gasping, bubbles and drippy nose

    I have a chick that hatched this morning at around 7, the only one that survived. It’s now 1pm and she can’t really walk still and I’ve noticed she looks like she is regurgitating, and then she will gasp. This is odd because she hasn’t eaten or drank anything yet. I held her for a moment earlier...

    Milky, watery poop

    I have had a young araucana for around 6weeks now. When I received her she had now back feathers, scaly leg mites and lice. The man that owned her was a hoarder and the chicken coop looked like it had never been cleaned and burnt my eyes! She has also had diarrhea all this time and I have been...

    Bumble foot - is this how it should be healing?

    Hi everyone- I need some advice. I have a nearly 10 year old chicken who was attacked by a racoon 2 months ago (all in the coop were injured or killed). At first she showed no outward injury- we thought she had been shoved off the roost in the panic of the other birds and it seemed the ankle...

    sick Australorp, please help.

    Recently one of my 2 year old Australorp hens has been acting strange. She seemed tired and kept secluding herself from the flock to rest in the corner, and one of her eyes seemed to be bothering her. I didn't think much of it because she had been known to be shy, and it has been so hot lately...
