    Sudden illness, blood in bright green, slimy poop

    I posted a few days ago about my concerns with the intestinal linings and small blood globs in my chickens poop. Everything seemed to be Ok, nothing serious, until this morning. Out of nowhere, my one mama hen (who is also mid molt) was acting very sick, and had blood in her poop, which is...

    A few issues in the flock

    Hello! About a week ago I made a post about red globs and intestinal lining in poop. After that, a few more birds had intestinal lining and no more red globs. I had a fecal float done that came back negative for worms or cocci, but I decided to worm anyways since it may not have shown up. About...

    Not sure what is wrong with my chicken - egg bound? Mites? Other?

    Hi! I’ve read through many forum posts over the years but this is my first time posting. I have a ~2 year old hen and a week ago I noticed she couldn’t use her legs well (she was getting in and out of the coop for a day and a half before I caught her sitting outside weirdly). I brought her...

    Hii! I’m sorry to be asking. This quail, I thought it wasn’t going to make it. It was the only yellow colored quail I got, so from birth I wanted to help it make it. However, he used to fall sideways all the time when first hatched and I thought it would pass. Well it’s two weeks old now. But...

    Help, young duck unable to walk, seems to have something very wrong with him.

    Unfortunately this is the only image I have as these are not my ducks, someone I know just knows I have ducks and wanted my input, but I haven’t seen a duck sit like this before. He’s only able to walk a couple steps before collapsing and can’t seem to stand at all from the video she sent me...

    Suddenly lethargic hen with strange bumps and clear saliva

    This is a very long post compared to most of the help questions I've seen. If I can get advice I would really appreciate it. All right so this is my smallest of four Welsummers: The Runt. She's always been smaller than her sisters but she has a pretty active personality and is extremely vocal...

    Passed Away* Lethargic hen sleeping not wanting to move

    So about 5pm I found out WhiteBand(name) Black Australorp sleeping in the corner. It took me nearly shaking her a tapping on her to get her to wake up. I even moved her and she didn't put up a fight. I honestly thought she was dead for a moment. Since then, I did give a calcium d+ vitamin. And...
