sick chicken

PLEASE READ I AM DESPERATE: Penny is a young healthy chicken full of personality we’re in the middle of winter so I know she’s not overheating I’m worried she’s hurt her poor little wing badly I’m taking her to vet tomorrow since it’s night now her only symptoms are fatigue closing of the eyes...

I have a chicken who has been struggling for weeks. I recently made a post about her, but her symptoms are: weakness in legs, light crop, mucus/drainage from nose, and struggle balancing. We debated just putting her down but she is still very responsive and we hate to if we don’t have to. The...

Hi All, I have a 16.5 week old lavender orpington (honestly I can't tell if it's a roo/hen yet 🤷🏼‍♀️) that developed an unsteady gait about 4 weeks ago that has progressively gotten worse. He/she was hatched by a bantam hen that was broody and egg-napped it 😆 she was a great mommy to it! About...

I have a 9 mo old Wyondotte sounding raspy, showing weakness, tired, etc. No discharge, eyes and nose, mouth are clear. She is weak, but alert. Poop Is brownish green and a bit runny/watery. She has been eating and drinking normally (seemed to be drinking a lot of water), but this morning I...

My Wyandot named Sesame is realy sick. She is weak and fatigued, she will barely move, eat, or drink. Her poop is white and liquidy. I suspect she has Pollorum (A salmonella variant) due to her white diarriah. This is the first day we noticed symptoms. Currently she is isolated in a...

Hi! New here. We have a chicken that has a potential impacted crop, definitely sour crop, and we have been doing as much research as possible and home treatment. From isolating her, giving her water with acv and electrolytes, olive oil to help move things along and loosen up (don’t worry, we...

Okay, my hen has been sick for one day now. She doesn't have any other symptoms except not being able to move. I've been syringe giving her vitamins and ectrolytes. Her poop doesn't have any worms, she's not wheezing. I'm really confused what's wrong with her 😞

One of my chickens had this weird foam in her eye, the other was really swollen, and had a sort of mucus discharge coming out of it when i wiped it off with a clean cloth and room temp water. it looks scabby around her eye, and i thought it was poop at first which really concerned me. i...

So one of my ISA Browns just started laying about 2-3 weeks ago now. She was hatched out March 30th, 2022 (about 5 months old now) and weighs about 3-5 pounds. Suddenly at the beginning of this week (Monday September 3rd) she became extremely lethargic. To explain how lethargic, my chickens free...

Hi first time on here. Can anyone help me identify why my hen got sick and died. I found her sitting beside the water five days ago, she was wet under her chin and when I picked her up and moved her I noticed a gurgling sound from her crop and some fluid came from her beak when I picked her...

Hello, I have looked at so many posts (and gross poop pictures!) but can’t find same specifics— During the heat wave a few weeks ago our 1year 8 month chicken got very sick - not leaving the roost, all liquid poop, empty crop and missing feathers around her bottom & chest while we were away...

Hello! I was putting my flock in their coop this evening, and noticed one of the chickens walking upright like a waddling penguin instead of the horizontal way chickens typically walk (see the dark orange/brown chicken on the right in the attached photo). She sort of scoots around. I read online...

hi our 2 year old hen is looking quite sick. she has lost a bit of weight i can feel some of her bones on her lower side. her comb is pale and shrunk. she now just lays down all day and doesn’t seem to get up and move. all of our chickens have stopped laying eggs due to the heat right now but...

Hello all. I am in desperate need of help. Last Friday, my family and I moved to a different state. I brought my 3 hens in a dog crate and they seemed to do reasonably well but I know changing their environment can be stressful so I don't know if this is what trigger all of this... On Tuesday...

I have a Buff Orpington named Goldie. She isn't very old and she lays eggs every day. The past couple of days I noticed she has been laying down a lot--both outside and in the coop. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with her though. Her comb and waddles are a normal color, her poop is...

I have a black australorp hen who I found standing where my chickens hang out off to the side with her eyes closed and sort of puffed up feathers. She’s one of our less friendly chickens, and I went to pet her and she just stood there. Usually she’d run off or move away. Then, when I threw some...

That's an upclose picture of her crop, she isn't really tired or anything? Eating normally, but her crop feels kinda big?

I was just given a chick from a relative who they said it was sick, the chick has cream white eyes, isn’t responding to noise, very small, thin legs and has odd feathers?? (The flight feathers are very long but the Inner feathers are short). I assume she’s blind and deaf but I want to make sure...

Big Black is 4-6 years old. May 1st I found her in the nesting box breathing weird and her mouth looked wet. I removed her and isolated her. I gave her food and water, she was not interested. I checked to see if she had sour croup and I was unable to tell. To be safe, I gave her monistat 3 twice...

Hi! I’ve got an almost 2 year old hen who’s usually our most eager and voracious about food now refusing food :( she’s only eaten a few bites a day and it’s just so different from her usual behaviour. Her crop wasn’t emptying out for a few days but I think it’s a little better now. She hasn’t...
