sleepy

2years bym ‚he eats vegetables, grass in the yard, wheat, and compound feed, we add vitamins to the water ,at night he sleeps warmly on hay with hens, during the day he can walk wherever he wants in the yard but rarely leaves the house.

She’s even trying to sleep now. I’m happy she seems fine, but I’m worried she may be egg bound. Still, she seems pretty good to me. Her tail is a little droopy, but it’s been like that for sometime now and her eyes are quite awake when she looks at me, so I don’t think she feels unwell. She...

2 month old plimith rock (born early July), has been lethargic, sort of just stands around with her eyes shut - almost reluctant to sit down. Pale comb and legs, hasn’t been trying to get food in the flock but is eating when she’s alone. Very tired, solid purplish poo. She was born in the midst...

My favourite girl Ethel has suddenly become ill. She’s huddled up can’t keep her eyes open not interested in food (she normally gobbles everything) and she’s very slow wondering round the garden. I’ve checked her bum and vent can’t feel anything and no discharge. Her crop is soft. I can...

Hey! I appreciate your time. Long story short, I found a broiler chicken in the woods about five days ago. Since then, B had been improving like crazy. He was getting more and more active, more vocal, affectionate, curious, just everything. This morning, on the other hand, though awake, B was...

We just got our order of checks today. I promptly picked them up from the post office, and carefully took them home. Upon opening the box one appeared to be dead and I quickly removed the other chicks to their new home so that they didn’t have to be near their dead fellow. Once they were removed...

Chicken has been acting sleepy, falling asleep in the middle of the run while sisters are foraging. She slowly walks to food, and tries to grab food only to have a sister moving three times her speed and grabbing up the food. I started giving them scratch with added protein treat and some extra...

A few days ago, I noticed my Speedy girl laying in the middle of the run, she still tried to run from me when I tried to pick her up but I was able to get her . . . twice . . . which is not normal for her at all. I was petting her and she spit up some water that she had just sipped but nothing...

I posted a few weeks back after Chicky started limping badly on her right leg. The vet didn't see any signs of a break and gave her pain killers, and she gradually started walking normally again and we figured that was that. I noticed yesterday that she was moving slow, hunched posture, far...

About 3 weeks ago we treated our young flock for cocci, (5 days). One ameraucana was sluggish and anything we tried didn’t help, so we tried Corid. All seemed good after that. Today our silkie is just sluggish and sleeping. This morning would not eat or drink. Gave some nutridrench and separated...

Hi I just made an account for this so I’m not really sure if I’m posting on the right thing or not but I need some guidance. I’m new at raising chicks this is my first time. I hatched 8 baby Wyandotte chickens this Friday and Saturday and all seemed well at first. This evening I noticed that one...

I went to a swap meet this morning and got 7 chicks total from 4 different venders. One sold me two Bantam Partridge Wyandottes, and had paperwork for vaccines ready, so I think he was experienced and reliable...I think. One of the chicks, now named Bean, has been sleeping and sleepy ever since...

Hello again everyone! On todays adventure, I added four baby chicks to our family. All babies are happy and healthy right now for those who have been on my other posts. I got these 4 chicks around 3 today. I have one little girl who just seems much more lethargic than the others. She hasn't been...

I raise all of my chickens as pets, eggs are secondary. Anyway, Skye is about four now, an Orpington. She's my favorite and my oldest girl since her sisters have passed. She is normally quite rambunctious and picks on the others but has always been gentle and cuddlier to me. She's going through...

Hi, I have a baby, is 4 months old and the summer just gone here in Japan. I noticed that my baby Vanilla is having naps. He is healthy and energetic when is not napping, is a 🐓 roo, but I'm keeping him alone because he born alone and met other chickens when he was 2 month old but never got...

Hey! My hen Myrdle is acting a bit off. She seems lethargic and quiet. She is also panting a bit and has a pale waddle and comb, but that is probably just the heat. I isolated her with some food and water just to be safe, and she hasn't pooped a lot that I've seen since then. Don't know how much...

Hello - we rescued 4 commercial barn hens 3 weeks ago (our first ever). 1 has been bullied badly (ironic as she is the largest, with most feathers - but is also the most timid and very sweet) and we have had to intervene a couple of times. The last 2 nights we’ve gone to lock them in the coop...

So my black stars have a huge coop that we made out of the bottom of a tree house. They each have their own box (3) but never sleep in it. Instead they “stand” on the edge of the box while 2 of them are constantly looking at the ground. EVERY time I go up there I see either 2 or 3 of them...

Hello! I'm new to having chickens and could use a little help. I have a 4 week old lavender orphington who, over the last two weeks, has been keeping her eyes mainly closed. She will occasionally squint them when eating and moving about but in general, she's keeping them closed. She seems a...

Does anyone know any good medicine for button quail. Shes sleeping a lot and shes all fluffed up in a corner. Shes eating well but her droppings are mostly water or brown watery. Ive been feesing her a lot of cucumbers and mealworms as well as her feed.
