    Lethargic, Pale comb Chicken

    I have a 11 month old RIR that has been lethargic today. Comb and waddles seem pale and cooler temp than usual, tail is droopy. We've brought her inside to help keep her warm, calm, and away from the flock. She is panting, but seems more to be when she is warm and not because she is struggling...

    Pullet can barely stand and walk, tail down, she sits while eating

    My about 8 months old Jubilee Orpington pullet is acting very weird for about a month now. I gave her some vitamins, antibiotics, but nothing seems to help. It's very hard to describe how she acts, basically she can make a few steps before falling on her bum, her stance is pretty low. Other...

    Hen with poopy butt & sluggish

    I have a hen that has just been acting... off. She has had some runny poo that's now stuck on her feathers. Also, she's been acting sluggish. Still eating & drinking, but she's walking with her tail pointed down instead of up, like all my other girls. 🤔 I don't entirely blame her, it's been in...

Upon inspection, the entire cone of her tail is like one big hard scab. Vent area seems fine. Other chickens don't pick on her. No sign of...

    Chicken walking slowly with tail tucked down

    Hi there, our 5 month-old speckled Sussex wouldn’t come out of the coop this morning with the others- moving slowly/sitting and stepping gingerly and standing with her tail tucked far down, nor like usual at all. Her eyes seem clear and no discharge anywhere, but she seems to be clucking...

    Dying chicken!! Possible crop issue.

    Ok, this is my second flock and I swear they are a sickly flock. My hen is very lethargic, pale, runny but no blood in her poop, tail down, vomited once when picked up and when you pick her up she puts her wings out. She is a 7 month old Rhode island red. Any information would be very much...

    Why does my chicken tuck her tail?

    This is Debbie, my roughly 10 week old pullet. Sometimes I catch her "tucking" her tail feathers. It is very odd as she is the only one in the flock who does it often, although I have caught one other doing it a few times, but not as bad as she does. She doesn't seem to be in fear or distress...

    My La Bresse Hen has a drooping tail. What should I do?

    So this evening at about 8 something I noticed that my hen had a drooping tail and wasn't moving much. Her eyelids sometimes remained semi-closed and her comb was a bit pale. I haven't checked her vent to see if it could be egg binding. I doubt it is since she laid an egg at around 11 to midday...
