weak

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...

My rooster is wobbling, tries to walk but stumbles, laid down with his feet in awkward position - mostly under but not Al the way and his wattle is dark purple on top and when he was laying down he just started closing his eyes. I thought he was dying- maybe is 😢 I went in to get some warm water...

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...

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...

Last night as I was putting the ducks away, I saw the rooster next to the pond and then he just dove in :eek:. grabed him out the water, He is on quarantine now, made some electrolyte drink and scambled eggs and scratch mix. Got 4 females and him. got some little chicks now (8). I try to place...

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...

Last night, DH brought home four of the most adorable little French Wheaten Marans chicks, to add to the three Bielefelder and two SLW chicks he brought home the night before. (Whoops!) He didn't really have the opportunity to pick them, the kid just grabbed four yellow chicks and put them in...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I’m first time owner of small flock of 7, I think my rooster might have coccidiosis. My rooster is looking really weak lately, he’s not really lethargic but he looks very weak, he can barely support his weight, his legs are shaking, walks around like drunk, little confused and has very watery...

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 baby quail got wet during the night and in the morning was very cold, couldn't stand and barely opened her eyes, but at least she was breathing... Before i go on, a day ago she was just as weak when i woke up, but not cold, her crop was pretty much empty and i somehow saved her after watching...

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...

So my pullet who is about three to four month old isn't feeling well. She is weak and not really moving and stuff like that. I asked about it and was told to get her vitamin B. And scrambled eggs. And make sure she eats. I sent my vegetarian brother to get the stuff, I put it with her food and...

A brief history: I am a first time duck owner and have a 3 week old welsh harlequin duckling, from a group of four mixed heritage breed ducklings, that is weak. She has been a little iffy since arriving in the mail ( elevated respiratory rate compared to her companions, and a little dull). She...

Hello! Please help~ One of our hens out of three has collapsed. This is the second time after yesterday, but she got up and acted normally after that, however this time she couldn’t manage to get herself up. She had been acting poorly a week and a half ago, she wouldn’t move much and her comb...

Hi everybody. I have a 6-7 month old Black Australorp hen, she is really sweet and friendly with us and got sick suddenly. She gets bullied a lot by the other hens and a few days ago when we saw her a little weak, we brought her inside to eat and drink. Right now she is inside in a cage. She...
