sleepy

Hello all, First of all, this thread isnt asking for help. Im here to help anyone who has a duck with similar symptoms. Peach the white Peking Duck was approx 10 months old when she started loosing weight and excreting bright green poop. I had read somewhere on here that it was bad. Peach was a...

Hey everyone! I must say the past month and some change was pretty rough for me. My hen with canker unfortunately passed away despite my (and your!) efforts. And now my rooster seems to be sick also. I have already confirmed by peeking into his beak that it is not canker, which was the cause of...

She's just a few months old. We bought three like her to start laying in a few months. The others are fine, but this one got picked on more than the other two for a few days. She's a bit smaller, she sleeps half of the day away, and we hear her sneeze from time to time. She's quarantined now in...

Hey everyone, My girlfriend works at a vet and 2 days ago someone brought in a chicken that had called off a chicken transport truck. The vets were going to euthanize it and my girlfriend took it(we used to have chickens so we had all the materials/experience). It is staying at our house right...

Hello chicken community, A couple months ago I posted a forum regarding one of my chickens being very lazy around the yard. What I thought had gone away has returned, and I am again concerned that something is very wrong with my hen. Cheeko is showing symptoms of being recumbent. She will stand...

I know there is another post below mine about a sick silkie but I wanted to make a separate post for myself. I know kittens and puppies sometimes get a little discharge from their eyes that gets crusty and you can use a bit of warm water to help open it again. Is it the same with chickens? Is...
