    Sick chick arrived yesterday won’t eat

    We got a delivery of chicks yesterday and one (tiny bantam Easter egger) is super weak and won’t eat. We’ve gotten her to take a little sugar water over the last 24 hours if we hold her and hold the dish right up to her but most of the time she won’t take that either. If she’s separated from the...

    Vet said Marek's, I'm not so sure. Help?

    Hi! New to the forum, so greetings and thanks for any help. I've had chickens for about 13 years and just got a new flock after the last ones finally passed away. My new girls are all 19 weeks old this week, so should start laying any day now. I have one hen that I'm very worried about and would...

    Injured duck not sure what to do

    Ameraucana Chick Dying

    One of my Ameraucana chicks which I got through the mail on Friday is being very dopey. I have already had one dopey chick die, but what's different about this one is that it has food in its crop and will drink water when I dip its beak in. It's just extremely weak. I'm also not quite able to...

    1 day old chick legs turned out and bone showing. Please help!!

    Some silkies hatched yesterday and one more hatched today. He seemed to be doing fine just weaker than the others when he first hatched. Then we realized the other chicks were picking at him to the point of dragging him. We put the chicks in a brooder and put this one back in the incubator. We...

    Please Help - Super weak baby chick!

    Hi all, I had a broody hatch out 5 chicks, and one was still in the egg a day after the rest. Because momma is flighty and was already taking breaks off the nest, I took this one inside and popped it in the incubator hoping it would finish the hatch. I ended up having to assist the hatch, but...

    Please Help, I don’t know what to try next!

    My olive egger, Gertie, is about 18mos the old. About a month ago we started having issues with her - lethargic, losing weight, not eating much if at all and excessive thirst when she would drink. She started molting but seemed a bit extreme compared to the others. She was also having diarrhea...

    Chicken Immobile and incredibly lethargic, need help

    On Monday around noon, one of my barred rocks was found laying on her side not making any effort to get up. This came about suddenly, as the rest of the flock is healthy. She wants to only lean to the right side and keeps lulling her head off to her right. I gave her water with a dropper to keep...

    Please help! Why is my duck’s dropping light orange and white?

    She last ate mussels. We’ve been feeding her it regularly since we’re out of duck feed, but this has never happened before. I believe there isn’t any orange in mussels, so I’m not sure why she’s had an orange dropping or what it’s indicating. She’s also been shaking her head and generally...

    Help! I think my duck doesn't have enough niacin in her body and she can’t walk now, what do I do??

    She’s very weak and she can’t walk very well. She keeps falling and stumbling. This just started happening today. She occasionally shakes her head every hour or few and she’s starting to lose her appetite. She’s not as energetic or awake as usual, but she doesn’t seem very tired anymore...

    Please help (serious) My duck is stumbling around a lot and she seems really tired, how can I help her??

    She’s been shaking her head with her mouth open for the past couple of days. We were going to bring her to the vet soon, but today, she started stumbling around. She’s really weak right now and we have no idea why. It seemed like simple leg cramps at first, but she seems VERY tired and weak. She...

    Hen hasn't been eating

    One of my quails hasn't been eating for a few days, and now I realize she's a lot more passive than usual. I thought it was a temperature change because it got cooler for a few days and that's happened before, but it was so minor. She goes in the food bowl because it's habit and even gets...

    My guard goose has some type of eye issue. Cloudy discharge and weak looking eyes.

    My guard goose has some type of eye issue. Cloudy discharge and weak looking eyes. He was also very grumpy with his chickens and sleeping more. I've used homeopathic pink eye drops for the last 1 and a half days and it seems to have helped with him being more himself and clearer eyes. But his...

    My 8 week old is very lethargic and can’t keep her head up for very long. She falls asleep almost instantly and can’t keep her eyes open and her chirping is very weak. I don’t know what her poop looks like because I hurt my back and my boys have been taking care of her the past few days. I’ve...
