Hey everyone. My sweet Duchess seems to be ill, so this has been a rough time for me. What she has doesn’t appear to be contagious- (it’s likely ovarian infection) but I still fear my two other girls, Mary and Biscuit, could be at risk of getting something. I just wanted to run some pictures by...
A few colleagues called us up three days ago and brought us a duckling that had been abandoned on the side of the road. Its been a few years since we've raised ducklings, so my partner and I have put together some questions to clarify any concerns we have about our new foster duckie. (We mostly...
So I'm out here chillin' with my chickens when I hear splat, and see my Cochin pooping out water. I'd take a pic, but there is nothing to see at all - it is completely clear and absorbed into the grass immediately.
She's eating, drinking, acting completely normal. She is molting, however, and...
Our chicken Rosie has been having a rough time of it for the past day or two, and we are trying to figure out what we should be doing to help her. She is having watery, yellowish diarrhea, and has been very lethargic. Her comb has also been kind of deflated looking and darker in color than...
Hello all,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I have a barred-rock rooster named The Governor (Gov'nah!), roughly around one year in age. Last night as I was locking up my flock, I noticed that The Governor was not his usual happy self. Usually, when I put my ladies away, he follows right in...
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...
It's been a while since I have posted, which is usually a good thing because it means nothing is wrong. Today, though, I noticed my chicken coop had white milky puddles of poop instead of droppings. There were some droppings, but enough puddles that multiple birds are doing it, and of multiple...
1) What type of bird, age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others?
We're not 100% sure as we got her from a rescue group, she is an ex-caged hen, she is about 15 months, I don't know about her weight
2) What is the behavior, exactly?
She was staying under a...
My silkie chick is eating and drinking normally. However the past two days she has pooped some pure clear droppings and is acting a little more tired than normal, and today she just pooped what looks like blood (see attached). I’m familiar with the poop chart. She is about a week (week and a...
I have one hen who has always had looser stools, but I've noticed lately they are just like water with bits of digested feed in it. She is constantly at the water sources I provide, (which are changed and kept fresh.) It has been hot and I know that drinking more water will lead to more watery...
Hello! My chick was fed egg yolk yesterday and this morning had a normal looking, but yellow poop with some liquid. Is this normal? It has only happened once so far. She hasn’t been drinking a ton of water so I keep bringing it to her, but eats fine and acts normal. Thank you.
1) What type of...
I have an older blind rooster I've been caring for for about ten years in Hawaii. I recently spent the night at a friends house and came back at about 9:30 in the morning to find my rooster, who lives outside, in the sun. I figure he may have been in the sun for about two hours. Even though...
Hi everyone. Very odd problem today. My buff Orpington hen is completely bald in a strip on her backside, underneath her vent. All the remaining feathers are caked and coated with something, I’m guessing poo. She also has an icky porta-potty smell :sick On top of that, her poop looks like...
I have 2 salmon faverolles hens. Both seem to have the same issue. The remaining 14 hens seem unaffected. I have been looking at poop charts, and pictures, and reading. I have no idea. They have all been wormed this spring. My hens are about 2 yrs old. There is no blood in their poop. One girl...
hi I have a week old Silkie chick that I noticed now has a liquid brown stool . Is this diarrhea. I do not remember seeing it like this a few days ago. I am feeding him chick starter food that is Non Medicated and just plain water with nothing added to it. Any suggestions would be greatly...
Hello. I am brand new here and pretty new with owning my own chickens (it's been about one year).
Yesterday I was late getting out to the chickens. It was almost dark. When I opened the door, Curious Georgia was sitting in the nesting box with her head facing the back corner. I thought it was...
I've been tending to injuries my Speckled Sussex sustained about 3 weeks ago, consisting of some deep gashes on her neck and back near her tail. I never figured out the cause (maybe a hawk?) but they were pretty significant. I've been pleasantly surprised at how well she's healing. I would say...
Hello all, I am in need of some help with my sick chicken. She is a barred rock and will be 2 in the spring. I noticed a several weeks ago that she was super skinny. I picked her up and she was light as a feather and her breastbone is so prominent and I do not feel any breast muscle at all...
Hi all I posted recently with few responses . Posting again due to today noticing one of my girls has watery eyes and a little puffiness around the eyes as well. All are acting well ...eating and drinking good. I just so happened to notice this poop recently and then today I noticed Sofia' s...
My hen is 7 months old, has been laying since 5 months (only taking a day or two off on rare occasion). She has not laid for two days and has been having watery poos. Sometimes no solids, all clear liquid. Today I noticed she was drinking excessive amounts of water which has made her crop...
