    Swollen face

    One of my hens has had a swollen face on one side for 5 days. I separated her, started antibiotics (assuming a respiratory infection), but the swelling hasn’t improved. She has no other symptoms, is eating and drinking normally, and has good energy. None of the other chickens are affected. Coop...

    Struggling to figure out what is making my chickens sick?

    I own a small flock of pekin bantams, currently 3 years old. The other night when I was locking up their coop I noticed one of them was breathing as if her nose was blocked. She was fairly pale in the face at the time but it has since fluctuated. I have been keeping a close eye on her and she...

    Coryza treatment

    Our silkie has developed what we are fairly certain is Coryza as a result of a mycoplasma infection. We have been treating her with saline rinses, terramycin ointment, and tylosin in her water. We have seen different advice on whether medicated food would be helpful or overload. Can anyone...

    Chicken w/Rapidly Swelling Eye on One Side

    I noticed my 18-week pullet standing fluffed up in the corner about 30 minutes ago in the typical "sick chicken" stance and shaking a little with her breaths. I brought her inside for a good once over -- no crop abnormalities, nothing around her vent, no signs of foot issues or visible wounds...

    I have an adult maybe 4 year old guinea with a swollen head/sinuses. All around his eyes. It started about a month and a half ago. I had him on metronidazole for 2 weeks at the onset, and it seemed to get better but it quickly (like 2 days) came back after stopping the medication. I put him...

    Swollen Eye

    Good morning, all. I let everyone out of the coop this morning, and it seems like my buff brahma, Dolly, woke up like this. I'm desperately hoping it's something that will self-resolve, but I'm also looking for guidance in the event that it isn't. The last 2 months have been one after the other...

    What is wrong with their eyes?!

    My brooder was a bit overcrowded as chicks started growing up. Naturally, I started putting them in larger enclosures and noticed a few of the lower pecking order chicks have swollen eyes. I separated the chicks and tried getting the eyes to drain but haven't had any luck. Keeping the eyes clean...

    So today I let my chickens out of the coop as usual when I noticed my one hen was acting a bit off and then I noticed her eye. I've never had this happen before so I'm not quite sure what to do.

    Chicken has swollen, dry face! PLEASE HELP!!

    Today I discovered that my silkie has a very dry and swollen face. Yesterday I lost a hen who has had the same thing on her own face. It seems she has only had this for a few days, but it has escalated to a bad spot. She’s been sitting on an egg so I haven’t seen her poop. It is also on the back...

    Quail with swollen eyes

    Today when I got home, I took a look at my quails and found out that one of them has swollen eyes. I immediately took her to the local vet but the problem is that he is known for misdiagnosing animals. He said it is an allergy and gave her some kind of injection. I hope he was right, can someone...
