Hello, I’ve seen many helpful answers to questions on this site for similar problems in the past and have found it helpful but this is more of a unique case I feel so I thought I’d share and try to get more opinions on what it could be.
I am posting this on my phone so apologies if the...
Hey guys, my hen is ill and I have no clue why! She makes these weird gargling noises, she sneezes a lot and mucus comes out, and it’s pretty scary because her eyes go full wide and she tilts her head up when she sneezes. Her breath also is a bit raspy, and she’s shying away and hiding more and...
So here is my story, we just bought a house with over an acre of property. We were informed that there were chickens the owners planned on leaving and this was a condition of the sale (she loved her chickens but moved out of country and couldn’t take them). Now I know nothing about chickens...
over a month ago Mrs. Green (a barred rock adult hen) was having issues. She was having really bad green poop and my sister (who helps me take care of the flock) and I were soaking her butt every night because she was getting to clogged up. She was also making a wheezing 'aww' sound. She was...
Hi. I am at a loss.
1. I chicken was weak then dead. About 4 years old. No real symptoms.
2. Chicken that was perfectly fine, then I noticed she was sitting in the coop, 2 days in a row. Last night, I checked on her and both eyes were sealed shut. I rinsed her eye with water and the one...
Yesterday morning, Blondie, my 3 month old Buff Orpington, wouldn't come out of the coop. She was acting lethargic so I immediately brought her inside and gave her some electrolytes in water. She then started getting really droopy, very tired and wouldn't eat or drink. I posted a video to a FB...
Today one of my chickens has been walking with her tail to the ground like a penguin. She is still moving around but she is panting heavily. Is she egg bound? I am not sure when she last laid an egg. How should I treat her if she is egg bound? Should I soak her in Epsom salt water? Any advice...
The first picture is from today and the second (outside) is from yesterday. I have her separated from the flock since yesterday, she's in the downstairs bathroom with towels on the floor, food and water. I have washed her face with soap and water and used anti-biotic ointment. She's still eating...
One of my silkies has started pooping blood, caught it yesterday but I’m not sure how long they’ve been doing it. They get fresh water 24/7 and chick starter crumble. They are the only one with bloody stool. It’s been 93°- 97° Here so I’m not sure if heat has to do anything with it. Here is a...
Over the past month it seems my flock has been having a lot of health problems. My fat hen(2yo Barred rock), sorry sweetie, started having breathing problems, showing some of the signs of gapeworm. So, I the did the first round of treatment for both my hens and chicks(14 weeks) for gapeworm...
My daughter pointed out one of our leg bars “Rona“ was making a wheezing sound this morning and not leaving the coop. I went out to look and she indeed was wheezing slightly and acting sluggish. I removed her from the other chickens and gave her freshwater and feed in a separate cage. I’m going...
I have a 1.5 year old leghorn that has been acting odd and I can’t figure out what to do next.
On 6/23, I saw her extending her neck and gasping twice and then her behavior returned to normal, so I just assumed she had something stuck in her throat and she cleared it.
On 6/24, she began...
We finally found a few chicks to keep my lone Brahma chick company (the guy the batch was hatched for didn’t want it because it ended up being splash); 4 2-3 week old buff Orpington chicks that are just a little younger than my Brahma, 3 of which look to be hens :fl.
We brought them home, they...
Okay so about a month and a half ago I had a cockerel come down Mareks and had to put him down. Now I have a pullet showing the same symptoms and seems to be progressing much faster (she only started showing signs the other day) and I want to put her down but am now second guessing myself.
I...
I noticed one of our hens not eating and lethargic after going through a broody spell. I kept an eye on her and noticed that she would come running when I gave the other girls a treat, but she would just look at the food and would pick at the food but not pick it up. A chicken farmer in my...
hello all! so we live in southern ontario and it is our first very hot day this year. well anyways, one of my 11 month old columbian rocks is acting very strange today. (for reference, she has dwarfism and doesn’t lay eggs, gets picked on sometimes) when i went to let them out of the run to free...
