Hello!
I have a mother hen (Cochin bantam) with three week old chicks. She acts fine, doing her job well, and her poops look perfectly normal, but I noticed today right after she took a drink of water, she spit it all up and sneezed. I only saw her do this once before the day after the chicks...
Hi my 2yr old gander throws up clear liquid once or twice a day it’s been happening for the last week with no obvious cause, sometimes it’s more liquid and sometimes it’s like egg whites but he’s fine in himself still eating and pooing still walking around fine and still his sassy self, I’ve...
My girl is a few months away from 3 years old, and I believe she's a New Hamphire Red of some sort.
She's had a floppy comb for a few months now and a little dull in colour, and has some laboured breathing. But in January she started to "throw up" and couldn't hold down water and her crop would...
Hi there. One of my hens, who is probably about 2yo, is sick. Two months ago I noticed her acting thrifty and unwell. When I went to drench her with some Nutri-drench she puked on me. I had never seen that before. Water, maybe slightly brown at times continued to seep from her beak at times. She...
I went out to check on the broody ladies this evening because we should have hatch any day now. But I noticed my Easter egger, who is not broody, in a nesting box. All the other ladies were on the roost tucking themselves in for the night. She was standing in almost a squat with her wings...
My daughters silkie named Raven is not acting normal.
Here is all I know... she is 5 weeks old, none of the others are affected as far as I can tell. She is a silkie/frizzle mix I hatched from an online order. They've been kept indoors and food/water cleaned nearly daily. Held often and quite...
Hey @TropicalBabies I know this is a chicken sight, but I need some advice with a kitty. A while back a stray cat showed up at our barn. He was crying and trying to tear bins and bags open for food. He was starving very badly so much so I could like count his bones. I jumped right into helping...
Hi everyone,
My 4-5yr old Bantam hen, Cricket, has been poorly for a couple of weeks.
She'd be lethargic and not interested in food, then a couple of hours later be back to normal.
I went out to feed her flock yesterday, and she was barely moving, and kept coughing/sneezing.
I put her straight...
Help! My free-range hen, Little Pea, who is 7 years old, and has never been sick in her life, is breathing very laboured and 'wet' this morning, is hardly moving around and has just started vomiting a clear, yellow bile, which smells very acidic. She's vomited quite a lot and her breathing...
We have a young Crevecoeur rooster, and about two day ago I saw him open his beak and a milky white substance came out. Right after that, he was eating and walking around like nothing happened. Today I saw it happen again, but he still seems to be acting completely normal. He is also a Marek's...
My hen Pearl was eating less and less, so we brought her inside. My stepdad noticed her crop was squishy, and pressed on it to see if she'd throw up. According to him it was A LOT and it was yellow and smelled badly. Then, a sac of orange came out of her mouth like a blob, that splattered on the...
I'm new to keeping chickens and something abnormal is happening to our little roo, we rescued him about a month ago and he's 3 months old now but a few times yesterday, and now twice today he had clear almost liquid discharge come out of his mouth ... which kind of looked like throw up water but...
My 19 weeks old hybrid hen poop watery! Is it normal? Beside pooping and puking, she seem fine and healthy. She eat, drink, lay an egg and walk around just like every normal hen does. Also, she use to puke water too.
Ps. I live in the hot climate and the other hen that live with her seem fine...
Butterscotch vomited a bit today and is very lathargc. I did the 'vomit masage' where you angle the hen down and masage their crop from bottom to top to expel excess fluids. She gagged a bit and did several drinking motions, but barely any fluid came out. I have her in a special single coop pen...

I currently have two turkeys right now, a Tom and a Hen. The hen is having some problems right now. She is having watery feces and she is throwing up. The vomit is looks like a water but a little white. Yesterday I realized that she wasn't eating but she drank and ate this morning. Her feces is...
Hello,
My hen, jet, is sick. She has been a bit sick for the past few weeks and I have been keeping an eye on her. Yesterday we brought her into our old laundry, because she is getting worse. It has towels, food and water, a heater to keep it warm, a steamer/humidifier and the fan is going for...
This just happened, and I immediately rushed on here to try to find some answers, as I couldn't find a definitive answer online. Help would be greatly appreciated!
A buff Orpington hen of mine has had diarrhea for about two weeks now. Her back feathers show it. I hadn't worried because...
Hi,
I have two laying ducks and they’re about 2years old.
They were both doing fine this morning until one of them started vomiting. After half an hour she lost had balance issues and couldn’t walk properly, her wings also looks droopy and She’s got laboured breathing. Despite difficulty in...
I recently got a new group of adult hens. I kept them separate from my flock for 7 days with a look-but-don't-touch fence method, and then incorporated them. Everyone seemed to be fine.
But recently one of the new ones is acting very strange.
She's lethargic for much of the day, but when...
