I'd appreciate any help. My little dutch bantam Louise has been sick for several days now. I first noticed that her face/comb had gotten paler (hers was never red, she's always been lighter pink, but I noticed noticibly paler) and she wasn't as active/apart from the other girls etc. Her stool is...

Hello! I’m new to this whole raising chickens thing and I need some advice.
my chickens are just over 5 months and I have one that has developed a limp and is laying down most of the day. She is still eating and drinking, and I don’t see any obvious injures to her foot or leg. She legs me move...
It seems that my chick's vent has prolapsed. She hasn't eaten or drank anything since she hatched, she has just been staying under her mother.
What should we do? (I'll attach some photos) Thanks
Hi there
A few months ago my brown Pekin bantam chicken started making different noises to her usual sounds. Her usual sounds seem to be more high-pitched than usual, almost like she’s whistling/screaming/squeaking. There has been no chan in behaviour, she’s still as lovely as usual and eating...
Hey everyone, I’m hoping I may be able to get some answers here about my chicken. My lovely hen, Millie, has started to become ill, and is getting worse.
I let her stay the night inside a couple weeks ago because it was cold out, and another hen wouldn’t stop trying to attack her.
She’s around...

We have a rooster who is now about 14 months old (roughly a year). I first noticed a week ago that he has something in his eye. Later on a hot day I noticed him sleeping on the ground. When I woke him up he could barely stand. He couldn’t even walk a step without falling. We took him inside to...
