    Lethargic Chicken with Black Sludge Poop

    Please help :(( I joined this site in desperate help for my hen, Yoli. She is very weak, mostly lays down and when she tries to walk she tends to fall. She hasn’t been eating the best the past two days nor drinking water. She tries eating and drinking on her own but she gets too tired or falls...

    My 7.5mo satin silkie hen is suddenly lethargic laying all day in the coop in a corner by herself. She isn’t eating or drinking. Has an empty crop. She wouldn’t eat when offered feed or worms.

    I got a chicken from my in-laws, it turns out she's sick.

    So, I'm fairly sad that this beautiful hen is sick, she had white discharge coming out from her little nose, even after I cleaned her beak off. She will not stand properly on her talons and will not regulate her own body temperature as well, she's worryingly pecking the air at times with no...

    Unsure what’s up with our hen…

    Hey all!! I made a post a little while back about my hen having worms. We treated for worms and she seemed to be getting better!! We did the dose each day for 5 days and then we did one more at the 14 day mark just to make sure we got everything. Worms were never present in poo. Now she is...

    Emergency

    I had gotten 4, 4 week old amerecaunas from a friend. They were in a separate cage in the coop for 3 weeks but my flock was able to stick their heads in and try and peck their food. I realize now that was a mistake and will properly quarantine from here on out. However, I have a serious issue...

    Disease going around in my flock? PLEASE HELP!

    First off, one of my chickens got sick last week. I saw her one day sitting on the floor of the run in the corner and breathing heavy. Her comb was very purple. When I picked her she has light as a feather. I brought her inside and she wasn’t eating at all or drinking any water, she wasn’t...

    My hen is making gurgling/gargling sounds.

    Today, I woke up, and when I went to release my goats from the barn, my chicken had been left inside the barn somehow. But something strange is that she was making gurgling/gargling sounds like she was gargling water as a human would. She is usually more skittish, but she barely moved when I...

    Hello everyone, this morning when I went to let out my chickens one of my young three-month-old Polish hens was lethargic, struggling/stumbling to walk, struggling to keep her head raised up, and refusing to eat or drink. Her tail is kinda in a hunched-over tuck position. She is still making...

    URI in chicken still not getting better

    Hi all, I am a new chicken keeper and one of my silkie hens got sick. We had two from our original flock killed by hawks, and so we ended up getting better security and got 2 fully feathered young chickens to add to our 2 remaining silkies. About 2 weeks after adding them, I think the stress of...

    Sick Old Rooster :((

    Hi I'm posting again to see if anyone can help me again. The same rooster as my last thread is sick! He's breathing through his mouth, but thats his only symptom. No coughing, no boogers, no sneezing, no head shaking, and no watery eyes. And when he sings it sounds like a bantam rooster crow...

    Inflamed cloaca and yellowish loose poop. PLEASE HELP!

    My chicken Lucy is having problems. She had a case of pasty butt a few months ago and it seems she never fully recovered. Her butt area and cloaca were always inflamed, but she pooped fine, until recently. Her poop is now yellowish and pretty loose, as if she has diarrhea. As you can see in the...

    My 7 week old Ayam Cemani is acting strange. She’s not energetic, foraging, not really interacting with the other chickens (however she will follow them sometimes), not eating or drinking much. She either stays in one spot and her eyes sometimes slowly close, or she walks around very slowly. Her...

Around a week ago I noticed she had trouble walking, which got worse until she couldn’t walk at all and was a little lethargic. When I noticed I separated her from the...
