    Six year old hen very unsteady on feet.

    My little Copper Marans girl, what to do. In her youth she sat upon a tower of 15 eggs and hatched them all. (We didn't realize she was broody, in the current favorite nest box...so much to learn.) Two years ago she came down with very stubborn bumble foot in both feet. Vet prescribed...

    Deaf Chicken?

    I have a white plymouth rock hen named Dorris. She (unlike the other hens) becomes extremely distressed at times. She begins to screech very loudly when she strays too far from the group and realizes the other hens are out of sight, even when all the hens are clucking and cooing. She can’t...

    Sick chicken

    Hi all, we have a sick chicken and was looking for some suggestions. Our 5 year old Bantam mix is feeling under the weather. She's very weak and will only eat or drink out of your hand. Her stool is a clear mucus with a bit of green. Today was the warmest day this year so I thought she might be...

    One eye closed, one eye open?

    Hi all! I have a hen that has been keeping one of her eyes closed and one of them open. The closed eye feels a little bit puffy and I noticed this issue 2 days ago and I thought that she must have scratched it on something or got pecked. She also just started laying, but I doubt that has...

    Help! Sick hen. Barely eats.

    Help, please. I've never had this problem before. I have a hen who was being picked on by all the other chickens. She was standing in the corners of the coop and rarely eating. I thought it was because she was being picked on so I removed her. A health check revealed her vent feathers were...

    Aspirin and Nutri-Drench together?

    I have a Golden Sex-Link hen, three or four years old, who for the past couple days has looked a bit droopy. She's still eating and she keeps up with the rest of the flock, but she can't jump the low barrier into the compost area where they like to scratch. She's also walking with a bit of a...

    Underweight hen, but eating well

    I have a problem hen named Penny. She is a BA who is 4 years old. I have long suspected her of a reproductive disorder, because she has had bouts of lethargy and illness before. But this time is a bit different because Penny is eying and drinking perfectly, , and she even looks alert, keeping...

    Thought she was egg bound, now I'm not so sure

    I have this 2 year old silkie hen that, until now, I was pretty sure she was egg bound. She has never had a problem laying eggs until recently when the cold weather really hit. I figured it was stress from the cold and set up the heat lamps for the pens. Well, 2 days ago at about 7:15, I went...

    Very sick young hen- no idea how to treat

    My 6 month old laced Wyandotte hen (1 of 4 from same flock- other 3 are fine) cannot stand on her feet and doesn't appear to have wing or leg injuries. I have watched her decline for 5 days, but she's still hanging in there taking water from a syringe and eating when food is placed in front of...

    I’m really desperate, my chicken won’t eat!

    Hi everyone! I posted this a few hours ago but haven’t really gotten many answers and I’m getting desperate. I recently just bought 2 lavender cuckoo orpingtons from a show about 2 months ago. Turned out they had coccidiosis, but I brought them to the vet and they were treated with antibiotics...

    Sick hen question

    hello, I have read many posts about sick hens but haven’t seen this question.... I have a 5 month old that has a “cold”. She sneezes and has a slight runny nose. By the time I noticed she was sick I figured everyone has been exposed so I didn’t separate her. I have been monitoring her and she...

    My hen has pooped out 2 of these today. Should I be worried!?

    My hen has been weak and lethargic for the last 3 or 4 days. She either lays on her side in one spot all day, or she'll stand up like a penguin. I found her outside the coop a couple days ago, leaning against a cinder block, and she's been in my room ever since. She spent her entire day...

    ADVICE PLEASE - soft, broken shell, lethargic hen!

    I've been keeping hens since March of this year. They're rescue ex-batts and I have already lost 2 of the 5 I started with, been to the vets with another and now one of the others is unwell. I've dealt with a lot since keeping them - the first prolapsed after one week so I had to learn things...

    Can Anyone Help Me Determine Cause of Passing...?

    So, this is the first time I've ever had this happen. And this is the third hen to fall ill, the second to pass away. But I don't quite know, again, what has happened. One of my Sumatra, we found, was acting very odd. We're not sure how long she has, but it couldn't have been for more than a...
