Hello all.
I have a 3 month old rooster I hatched from my flock (which is making this even harder for me). He’s a mixture of a lot of things, I really couldn’t tell you what he is specifically. He’s maybe 5 pounds at most. Yesterday, I found him in the corner of the cage by himself with his...

She has since pooped since posting, I've been giving her mineral oil so does this look normal?
She's getting worse 😭 😔
Hello, we have a 9 month Olive egger that as of yesterday was showing symptoms of egg bound, she was limping on one side while penguin huddling and her vent is pulsating, we soaked her in warm Epsom salt twice and oiled up her vent, I tried massaging her and feeling for anything but I couldn't...
Hey everyone, I need some help, I have been having some issues in my flock. So, I've had chickens die, like a lot, and I just dissected one, and her intestines looked fine on the outside, but, she was skinny as a fence rail, sick for several weeks, and just overall dumpy and not normal. That's...
Hi guys, I'm new here. I was offered 8 chicks for adoption from a local farm. All's been well over the last 4 days but today I noticed that one of the chicks seems to be declining? I'm not sure if its a misinterpretation of behavior on my end but I'm starting to get really worried. It (unsure of...
Hello, I have a 10 week old white legwhorn who has been acting very lethargic and weak this past week. Shes also very puffed up and her crown has completely went lop sided.
I have started her on Corid but am not sure this is the right approach. I have 9 other chickens and have since...
So my mom brought me this americana pullet who’s around 3-4 months old. She brought her to me because she was sick, she was just on the floor laying there looking dead and I noticed when I picked her up, she had her legs tucked in behind her head which was weird, i’ve never seen that before. She...
So my hen had actually been laying more often now and hasn’t been gaping. Not today how ever she’s been slow and lethargic ? Any reason why ? Crouched down her neck more in , walking slow.Not pecking as much. She is a creamlegbar 35 weeks old
I'm a hobby farmer from British Columbia, although admittedly my parents do most of the work cause I'm a bit of a germaphobe. I live with my Mom and Dad and a back yard full of fowls near the forest, geese, ducks, muscovies, and many chickens, all free range.
I was out for a month to do house...
Attached is the preliminary necropsy report for my white wyandotte cockerel. This is only what they found visually. They are running multiple tests that should be back later this week.
A few things that stick out to me:
- Green/gray lung
- right pectoral muscle has a focal hemorrage: I think...
Morning everyone
I have a sick hen. I'm treating her now and was wondering. How long after her symptoms stop can I reintroduce her to the main flock? She's still sick right now but not sure how long to wait to put her back when she's better.
Hi, please comment if you have an idea of what could be wrong!
Just this morning I noticed my hen struggling to walk. She is falling over and loosing her balance. I examined her feet which both look healthy and she didn’t seem to have any foot or leg pain as I touched her.

Treating my rooster for an illness. He wouldn't eat anything, just kept going through water like a fish. So, I took some crumble and mixed it with water until it was mush. I made about half a cup total. Question is, how long can I keep that half cup of water/crumble mixture in front of him...
Just another thread about my sick bantam Wyandotte rooster.
How can I get some feed in my bird? He has been drinking A LOT of water. Like, he literally stands in front of the water cup and slowly drinks it until it's all gone. His breast feathers stay wet because of all the water he's...
URGENT
Rooster is lethargic and going through water at an alarming rate.
Please read the OG post before this.

I have been giving my rooster 0.5cc Tylan 50, injected. I switched to "All-in-One" powder since he was...
Hi everyone!
I’m absolutely not a newbie to ducks, but have stumbled upon an issue I’ve yet to see in one of my of my 11 week old ducks. I added five cayuga ducklings to my flock at the end of July and all has gone well until two weeks back. One of my cayugas (female) will randomly have these...
hello, i have a bantam that seems to be showing signs thats she is sick. Her tail is drooping, pale comb, and seems to be kind of like snorting for air and i can hear it. Im not sure if maybe it could be a respiratory infection. If so, what can i do to treat it?
Im really hoping she will be...
My hen yesterday at 4pm was found next to the water with their eyes closed and she would after 5 seconds drink more water, I picked her up and water came pouring out as soon as I touched it. It had a disgusting smell after she threw up when I pressed her crop to pick her up. I’m thinking it’s...
I have a 7mo old satin silkie rooster who about a month ago stopped crowing. We had to remove the 5 silkies from the big coop because the big ones started attacking the little ones. So we moved them to a smaller coop near the other one. Since moving he’s been kinda mopy seeming and hasn’t crowed...
We have a 4 year old hen who hadn't been roosting for a couple of nights. The morning after the 3rd night, we pulled her inside and started feeling around and noticed her crop was rock solid. We withheld food and throughout the day her crop started to feel more pliable, like it was full of...
