This is my girl Kiesha. She’s a Blue Australorp and a little over 4 months old.
Yesterday I noticed her withdrawn from the others and not eating breakfast (their usual starter feed mixed with layer feed to start integrating them to adult food). This was unusual but I dismissed it as the pecking...
I have a 5 week old Americana pullet who suddenly started having issues breathing, she's sneezing, won't eat or drink water and she also keeps drooling. I've opened her mouth and looked down her throat and it looked open with nothing stuck. The other chicks are doing fine and seem to have no...
New chicken momma here. Purchased 4 birds from same farm in August. One had respiratory issues initially, then cleared up with VetRx.
Baby girl’s right eye was shut when I was holding her at the beginning but I thought it was because she felt safe and comfy. About two to three weeks ago...
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
Cream Crested Legbar, 14/15 week old pullet, very under weight (judged by prominence of keel bone)
2) What is the behaviour, exactly.
Lethargic, puffed up, tail droopy, wings away from body...
This is actually day 2 of my BR pullet standing like a penguin. Yesterday it was very off/ on so I wasn’t sure if I was imagining things. Today I’m sure. So here’s the deal- this is about the end of the first week of the 4 pullets being outside in the run all day. They are segregated from the...
My about 8 months old Jubilee Orpington pullet is acting very weird for about a month now. I gave her some vitamins, antibiotics, but nothing seems to help.
It's very hard to describe how she acts, basically she can make a few steps before falling on her bum, her stance is pretty low. Other...
Today I noticed my top hen, a black copper maran not feeling well, I noticed one eye wasn’t opening and then all day she was hunched, a little off to the side, no energy and there was red around her eyes and she just sat there with her eyes closed, her crop is empty so she did not eat and I’m...
Hello all, thank you for your time for reading this post
I have a young pullet (Black Mottled Duccle?) Who has not started laying yet, was hatched sometime early April 2021, for 2 days she has been acting somewhat lethargic. She didn't want to leave her roost for most of the day yesterday, but...
We've had a pretty wet winter here in Georgia and I recently I've been losing a few chickens. I've been trying to troubleshoot what the issue may be and I've begun to think it could be coccidiosis. Can anyone look at this picture and tell me if it looks like coccidiosis in the hen droppings...
My R.I.R hen, Wing Gretzky, is not feeling well! She has been lethargic, won't peck at anything, stopped eating, just not her usual spunky self. She has been like this for about 4 days now, I separated her from the flock 2 days ago. She is in my dog kennel chicken hospital in the house. She had...
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...
I have a young OEGB pullet (hatched december last year) that seems sick. She has been in my main coop with other chickens, mainly large RIR mixes (keep in mind she is tiny, could fit in my cupped hands).
I noticed she was looking off about a week ago. She eats, but not alot. She is offered ad...
Hello. My Eater Egger pullet was found lethargic in the coop Tuesday morning. She is breathing open-mouthed and unable to stand. I took her to the vet who tested for parasites and gave her a shot of Ivomec. He also gave her fluids. Her temp was normal. She was perkier on Wednesday but still...
Good day everyone.
So I have been dealing with something that I'm not sure how to treat. I have 3 coops. One with my 2+ year old laying hens. One with my 20ish week old pullets, and one with chicks. My young girls (20 weeks) are not laying yet and I have been letting them free range just about...
Hello BYC :frow:frow
I have kind of a unique situation going on. I have a 5 month old easter egger who has always been skinny and eaten a lot of food, never gains weight. I had thought previously "oh well i think shes just a smaller chicken, since she seems fairly healthy" Even tho shes...
I have a 24 week old Speckled Sussex pullet, whom I noticed a couple days ago getting really lethargic, and I couldnt find out what could have been causing her to act like that. Last night, I noticed her crop felt like a small squishy balloon. I looked up stuff on the internet and it said that...
This is Blu aka the Roadrunner. She’s last to roost and first out of the coop. My husband says she is part falcon because she’s always on alert and ready to go in for the kill but she is not living up to her “name” the last few days.
Blu is an Americana (Easter Egger). She is 22 weeks old today...
Hello - My flock of four moved into the new coop last night. They are eating, although not as much as usual. They did enjoy some scratch that I put on the roosts, hoping they would get the hint. They are in a (mostly) plywood coop, with pine shavings from the same bale they've had throughout...
We have a black star pullet that first time momma kicked out of nest.
Baby had pasty butt and I cleaned her up but after mess off there was bubbly yolk water coming out her bottom.
I also noticed a blood red cyst on her bottom, where I believe the oil gland is...
