    Sick Hen

    So I just found one of my barred rock hens on the floor of coop, she’s conscious and alert. She is limping and having a difficult time moving around and she had poop all over her bottom. Breathing also sounds congested. I put her down in the run and the other hens immediately starting attacking...

    What I thought was broodiness, I now believe to be sickness, please help.

    My brown leghorn, Sofia, roughly a year and a half seems to be sick. I would like to say her symptoms have been going on for about a month. She is lethargic, comb is completely floppy, and today I notice that her cloaca is covered in white paste. She used to be our matriarch but now the other...

    She has been lack luster for a few day and today she was laying in the middle of the yard by herself in the wide open. When I picked her up she’s super light and can’t even keep her eyes open. I felt to see if she was egg bound and found her butt was poopy but did not feel bound. I’ve...

    coccidiosis?

    I posted on here Friday about my sickly little sebright bantam hen. A few people recommended I start her on Corid for cocci. The only symptoms she was exhibiting at the time was lethargy, sitting around with her eyes closed. Her poop still looked normal and she had/still has an appetite. So, I...

    Foamy poop, losing weight, at a loss.

    I've come to this site a few weeks ago in regards to my top hen Sadie. She had signs of vent gleet and was expelling many lash eggs, and I was suggested nystatin, monistat, and an antibiotic (I chose amoxicillin) for the two conditions. Before all that i treated with Corrid, thinking it was...

    Possible Sour Crop?

    My friend has a young hen that's been very lethargic for the last week... They had originally treated her for sour crop; massaging her, giving her an antifungal, garlic water and some B12- she showed signs of improvement for a while but she's back to being lethargic. She doesn't have an appetite...

    My 8 month old ameraucana chicken had an egg removed at the vet on Monday. The vet had to remove the yolk and crack the egg, because it was too large to pass. Now my chicken, Madge is continually contracting, and trying to push the remaining shell out. This has been going on since the...

    Sick hen

    18 month old Australorp hen. thought it was just part of her molting but she shivers and is losing weight. She lethargic but will move around a bit. I’ve seen her eat and drink, but not much. She prefers the feed mixed with water, like mush. Comb and waddle seem to be “shrinking” and pale in...

    A purple tinge to quarantined hen’s comb??

    She wasn’t feeling well so we separated her from the flock a few days ago, in an XL dog crate in a very low lit area of the garage with food and water with Corid etc. Today she seems really improved but her comb has turned a purple-ish tint on its edges? Is it not enough light or something...

    One of my hens is lethargic and seems to be going in and out of sleep and not eating

    I noticed it this morning and after reading some of the symptoms of being egg bound I thought it could be if since all the hens insist on laying in the same next box despite having one each, so I bathed her in warm water for 20 mins but nothing's happened she doesn't seem to be doing the penguin...
