Hi can someone please help me identify the problem with this chick and hopefully a cure? The chick is about three weeks old and significantly smaller than the rest of the chicks. Also she doesn’t move as much as the rest of them. Sometimes she is by herself. Thank you.
Hey,
I let my flock out to free range today which they often do but noticed my Rooster (1y/o) seems sick and I say this because he hasn't crowed all day and that is not typical along with his behavior being sluggish and keeping to himself and not really guiding his ladies or making sounds for a...
My male peach golden pheasant is 2 years old. Always been healthy, he’s recently started throwing his head backwards and his feathers are ruffled and keeps eyes closed. I originally thought gape worm, but I’m not sure that’s it. He’s been given dewormer. It’s like his crop is full? What should I...
Good afternoon everyone.
I went out to feed my chickens this morning and noticed one of them making a strange noise. For reference, they are approximately 3 months old and I’m still new to keeping/raising chickens.
This wasn’t a normal “cluck” or “cheep,” it sounds more like a...
January 23rd my leader girl started laying in the middle of the run with her feathers ruffled up and her head hiding away. I figured it was due to the cold until the next day where I could tell she was way too sleepy and isolated and something was wrong. A trip to a our vet and he informed us...
I have a hen who has mucus in her beak. She has no sores or patches in her mouth, no obstructions, no mites on her body. She’s quite lethargic. She drinks water but seems like she’s struggling to swallow, attempts to eat but almost looks like she’s choking on it, she appears to be losing weight...
I have seen many odd chicken poops over the past few years, but this is a new one for me.
The multiple grit pieces caught my attention first. I then “dissected” it and saw what appeared to be grass. That’s strange because we haven’t been able to see it for a couple weeks now!
I have given them...
I have cedar trees near the coop, is it bad if the needles get in the water for the chickens? I could rig something up to stop it, but wasn’t sure if it was bad for them.
Hi, I posted a thread about my chicken and I’m so thankful for people who responded to that one. I’m hoping to reach more people. My one year old chicken is not seeing properly, keeping her one eye shut and yesterday she managed to eat lots if I keep my hand close to her eye. She can’t aim and...
Hello everyone!
I have a little self blue cochin chick that I bought from one of my personal favorite hatcheries, Ideal Poultry. Unfortunately, this year was not a great year considering their genetics, as in the same batch I had a chick with pus coming from its eyes. Even with assisted feeding...
I have a bantam who yesterday was huddled up in her house and i thought she was laying an egg until she was still laying there at late afternoon. She was clearly struggling to walk and is always sleeping. She hasn’t even pooped unless i didn’t see it and she wont eat. I tried checking if shes...
Hey, I am almost entirely positive that my three-year-old giant angora rabbit has Weepy-Eye. He has been lethargic, and has refused to eat anything that isn't sugary other than alfalfa pellets. I checked his teeth and gums; they all look great. His nose isn't runny and looks good. But his eyes...
Hello! I’m hoping someone can help me identify what might be wrong with one of my hens. I have three hens that I keep for fun and eggs. The hen in question, Dolly, is a Jersey Giant and is about 1 year old.
Dolly has been a consistent layer, but she stopped laying two days ago. She’s acting...
Hey, can anyone help me determine whether or not I should take my rabbit to the vet? He is a three-year-old Giant Angora named Wimmy, and I've had him for almost a year. He hasn't been super active in the first place, but I have hardly seen him out of a laying position. I haven't seen him eating...
I have this Black star chicken name Moonlight for 2-3 years she had mites but I believe I successfully got rid of them but now she has become lethargic and less appetite. I think she has Anemia but unsure of it
When I got up this morning to let out my chickens, I found one on the floor not being able to move. I brought her in immediately and tried to find out what was wrong.
I don’t think she’s egg bound because she just pooped a few minutes ago. And I don’t think it’s bumblefoot stopping her from...
Looking for help/advice…
We have one hen who has not been looking well for the past few days. She’s not eating or drinking much, lethargic and her comb is sagging.
Thinking she’s egg bound, we gave her an epson salt bath and a gentle massage last night and this morning. I don’t feel anything...
