Our 17 week old RIR Roo lost his crow about a week ago. And then two days ago I noticed his breathing labored and wheezing. Today his comb has drastically darkened to a deep purple. He is separating himself from the flock and stretching his neck out with each breath. It seems to be getting...
I've got a rooster who injured their foot. They got it tangled in some fencing. He refuses to Walk on it, or move really his poop goes between being watery and normal consistency but it's green and yellow. He's also pooping on himself and getting it stuck in his butt fluff.
First we let him...
Hello. So I have a head scratcher of a situation. Last fall one of my Vorwerk hens who at the time was 6 months old, started acting more dull than the rest of my flock. No other symptoms noted. She never got any worse, was always the same dullness you could say. She eventually passed in her...
Hello! This is my first post so I'm not sure exactly how everything works, but I'll try to give as many details as possible.
We purchased a batch of Sussex pullets just a few months ago, it was originally a group of 13, but we noticed many of them weren't acting well after about a month and a...
Greetings,
I have a backyard chicken that's been having problems walking. I thought I'd give it a look and took these photos. Is this scaly mites or something worse?
So today i noticed my hen being alot quieter than usual, so Ive had a look at her and the only things i can find wrong is this black spot coming out of her pupil, it seems like its irritating her as she has this eye shut most of the time, its dilating but only very slightly.
She also seems to...
Hi, I woke up this morning to let my 5 girls out. One of them, a 16 week old showgirl, stayed behind in the coop and was making this weird wheezing/mewing noise. She was fine last night when they went to bed. Now it's been two hours and it looks like she's still having a hard time breezing. Her...
Another sick chicken here.
Isa Brown, 3yrs old
Lays eggs frequently, perfectly good coat
She started sleeping during the day, then the following 2 days she has just been sleeping all day.
Originally thought she was dying of old age as Isa's dont live forever, and it seemed to be a similar...
Hi! I have a 1 year old male Khaki Campell duck that, as of this morning, had an unusal limp. He was okay yesterday, but right now he struggles to walk. He can't keep his balance and has to use his wings to catch himself and stop himself from wobbling when he walks. He also sits with his butt...
Hi guys, one of my Tractor Supply Easter egger hens, ~3 years old, has been lethargic since yesterday morning, looks like she hasn't been preening her tail, and she has watery diarrhea and her fluff is all dirty from it. Her comb got paler than usual (she's always had a big floppy comb though)...
I’ve got a chocolate Orpington chick that been getting its eyes stuck shut a lot. It started happening a couple weeks ago and I just thought it might be a cold or too dusty in the brooder. So I tried changing the substrate from shaving to a stringy hay with very little dust and added vitamins...
So my hen is almost 2 years old. She's normally an active runner and a healthy layer. She hasn't been moving much for the past day and a half and there's definitely an egg in there that she hasn't laid. I've tried all the usual things for an egg-bound hen. We've done a warm Epsom salt soak...
i had eight 3-day-old baby guineas and i check them nearly every hour, sometimes more than that, and theyve very suddenly gotten sick. One has already passed very quickly. they all have very swollen poopy butts, and when i go to wipe them very gently, it seems to let out a waterfall of poop! so...
I have a Lavender Orpington that was recently broody, has since hatched her chicks and is still separated with them.
They are sleeping in a small crate but free range all day. There are two black spots on her foot that I don’t really know what it is. There is no swelling and their living...
Hi friends! I am new but because of this group, I’ve successfully treated Bumblefoot and a leg injury! I am lucky enough to have a small house for rehabbing chickens who have had trauma. Pluckie was put in rehab due to feather loss from being picked on. That was in February. We added Helen...
Hi everyone, I posted a thread a few weeks ago about dealing with some respiratory issues with a few of my bantam Cochin pullets, and the good news is they have gotten better from that. Two of them are totally back to normal and are back with the rest of the flock after being treated with...
I have 2 7 week old Chinese goslings showing signs of early respiratory infections. One gosling started showing signs almost 2 weeks ago with one eye tearing up and I treated with terramycin thinking it was only an eye issue. He now has a runny nose occasionally, excessive saliva, and some...
I have a 2.5 month old turkey who's been acting sick these last couple of days. Hunched over/droopiness, ruffled feathers, pale, definitely weak and not as active as usual, some weight loss (from loss of appetite), and this weird green diarrhea. She's such a sweetheart I would hate to lose her...
Hi everyone, I have 3 bantam chicks, they born 1 month ago, they were 4 but one of them died three days ago, and I discovered a heavy infestation of worms in her little intestines, now I know all of them have it (the parents and 3 chicks remaining) because I saw in their droppings eggs or...
Hi! Help needed for a very inflamed eye! I came home today to one of my chickens left eye extremely swollen, this morning it was completely fine and i cant seem to figure out the cause. She has been acting completely normal with no nasal or chest problems, no crust or leaking in the eye either...
