Hi! My 14-15 week old chickens heads' feathers' tips are turning white. Literally all of them. The cockerels, and pullets, all four of them. All are behaving normally, eating and drinking normally, everything is normal. Also, all of them are Production Reds. Any help?

Hi! We have dealt with corzya in the past so I already know that isn't it. My baby chicken has been wheezing, 'rattling' and sneezing for about 2 months now. Today I noticed one of her eyes is swollen, has green and yellow crust around it and bubbles coming from the inner corner. No smell. She's...
Hey guys, I think I’m in trouble here. One of my chickens a respiratory bacterial infection pretty bad, and some of my others seems to be developing it. What’s the best antibiotic that I can buy? I know Corid is for coccidiosis and it’s for cows, but there’s a dosage for chickens that they can...

Yesterday morning I found my chicken falling over and couldn't keep her head up. It keep going back as if she was looking towards the ceiling. I figured it was because their water ran out. I started giving her water with a syringe and within an hour or two looked better but still very thin and...
Is this sour crop? It’s very squishy.. I’ve been massaging it every hour or so.. I went out of town and came back to this. Poor chick seems so uncomfortable, you can see she’s puffed out and her head is tucked in. I’ve separated her and have been giving her water only.. she also has pretty green...
Hi all! My poor flock of 3 has been having a terrible time lately. My oldest hen (5 years old) got sick (lethargic, loss of appetite) in August after introducing 2 new pullets to her home (I should have quarantined them for longer). I took her to the vet, she was treated with de-wormer and given...
Last night I discovered my Easter Egg hen (approximately 6 months old) on the floor of the coop lying on her side. My rooster was standing beside her. When I came into the coop she didn’t get up - just moved her head to look at me - I thought this was odd so I went over to check on her and she...
Hi all, my two older gals passed away a week apart. Both their crowns were getting speckled white dots on them.
The photo with the chicken in the coop (img 1908) is one of the ones that passed away last week. She puffed herself out and it looked like there was dripping from her nose. The other...
Hello I have a sick chicken I believe she’s been in her coop for the last three days she has not moved she stayed there in a little bowl she’s not eating or drinking water I think she’s going to die does anybody know what she might have
Hi there,
I’m having a disaster with my girls lately. One died 2 weeks ago, and after checking the rest over and them looking good etc I put her death down to an unfortunate event. I now have two other girls struggling.. one is gasping for air and looking very sad, and the other is very...
So almost a month ago my rooster was acting very sick. He wouldnt eat or really drink. He was constantly sleepy and he didnt seem to want to lay down. His balance was also pretty off. After about a week of me putting water on his beak and mixing it with wet chicken seed he finally started to...
One of my Brahmas, Metrowizard, started making a croaking sound today. It sounds like a respiratory issue.
I took her to the vet this morning and they gave me antibiotics for her. I only took her to my local vet, not my avian vet (which is further away), so I wanted to hear what other people...
One of my roosters has been very sick the past few days. He's about 6 years old so I dont think its an old age thing. I first noticed his odd sickly behavior 3 days ago. He wouldnt eat much and he was staying away from most of the chickens in the pen. The day after that I immediately knew...
Hello all!
I am having quite a few issues currently with the health of one of my chickens. She must have been recently attacked by a hawk or something because I found her hunched over in the corner of my coop with a wound in her back. This is going to sound a bit crazy but she has also lost all...
We have (4) six month old hens and we live in Southwest Florida. Yesterday, towards the end of the day, Goldie (our sweet Easter Egger) started closing her eyes while she was out with the other girls running around the yard. She would be fine one minute and then look like she was dozing off...
Hi chicken lovers,
close to were I live there is a group of ”wild” chickens. All kinds they just live out in the open for years now.
when I travel to the farm for fresh diary I always stop to look at them for a moment. Today something was not right. One of the chickens had a bare tummy, bare...
Hello, all!
Our chickens are about 3 months old and have been in their new coop for a month now. However, yesterday we lost one of our chickens due to her head getting wedged beneath some wood at the bottom of their house (this has since been remedied). All our chickens (Americaunas) have been...
Hi All! First time poster here....
I've noticed my chicken looking really sick lately and was wondering if anyone has any thoughts (pictures below). She's just standing around hunched over and closing her eyes often. She definitely has a swollen crop, and it feels kind of mushy, not super hard...
