I have been treating my frizzle Cochin hen inside my house for 3 weeks now. Every month I lose a bird, I find them laying down, weak and very thin, can’t stand. It’s very sudden as I usually see my birds every other day. If It’s not too late, I bring them in and start treating them with Corrid...
Hello everybody!
We have a Dominique chicken, who is at the bottom of our pecking order of 9 guineas, 7 chickens and a rooster. We got her from a family with three times as many birds, and frankly she wasn't given any special care or attention and was in bad shape when we got her. Her health...
We have had two cases of egg bound chickens in the two years of having them, but this feels different. It could be another matter, but I want to be sure.
This morning, my little brother brought to attention the fact that one of our girls was acting off. She was puffed up like she was egg bound...

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...
I am lost! How can I save my pullets? I posted a couple of weeks ago that I found one pullet very thin and wobbly . She couldn't really stand. I had already treated all with Corid since I had seen some strange pink droppings. I isolated her right away We tried to get her to eat and gave her...
Edie couldn't walk this morning and she is very thin. She is about 14 weeks old I think. She is housed with three other pullets. I though some poop looked suspect, so I treated their water with Corid (5 days strong dose, 5 days the preventive dose). I couldn't tell who was the sick one because...
Hello.
We had 3 chicks hatch yesterday out of 6 eggs. The hen had gone broody in one of the coop nest boxes where 2 other chickens lived. Id left her in there to hatch the 6 eggs I had ordered off the internet and then was planning on moving them all this morning to a new run to be by themselves...
I have a Rhode Island Red that was doing fine yesterday but is now extremely weak/tired looking. It's been up in the 105 degree zone the past few days and I think that might be the main factor. She layed down in a very tight spot with shade. I found her on the ground and when I picker her up...

All I own is Nutri Drench, Vitamin B-12, Ivermectin Pour On, and a frozen leftover bottle of Naxcel given to me by a vet.

Hi all, hoping for some help. I have a hen, less than two years old that is literally feathers, skin and bones. I found her collapsed next to the duck pond. I brought her in and fed her a little egg yolk water with a syringe. I don’t think she’s going to make it, she SO weak. I have her in a cat...
About 2 weeks ago one of my BCM babies got hurt/sick. She was having trouble walking on her right leg and laying down a lot. We brought her in the house and put her in a crate. On Thursday of last week she didn' look good so we checked her poo and found worms so we wormed her and for good meaure...
We have two 2 year old Pekin Ducks left. We lost 2 to a fox in the past couple of weeks. Now one of the two is sick. A couple of days ago I noticed this duck was being a bit lethargic but it was the day after we lost one to the fox and I thought she was depressed or scared (idk if ducks even do...
Hey guys, this morning I let my hens out and one of the girls (she’s about a year old I think) is very obviously unwell. Her wings are dragging to the point where she’s stepping on them. Her feathers are puffed up as well, and she’s rather weak. She took a couple bites of food and then stood off...
Hi all, this is my little call duckling who hatched in march, almost a month old. Since it hatched its been low energy, and had difficulty breathing through it's nares. I didnt think much of it because it eats and drinks and it didnt seem to get worse so i thought maybe it would pass...
My mother's female mallard, Little Bossy, had her first lay last year. She laid right on time (between mid-March and the end of July), and with the exception of the first few eggs being soft, the rest were normal and there were no problems at all.
She started to lay again about a week ago, and...
I have about a 2 year old Americana hen. She's the original of the fourr that we had. She hasn't laid eggs for about a year. In the last week she hasn't jumped into the coop when it gets dark.
She just stayed outside so we set up a separate house for her. Even so we have to lift her up...
I have a sick rooster, he is really weak, and can't hold his wings up.
Can I give him sugar water?
He is inside with another rooster they stay together all the time, he eats just fine, he barely drinks anything. I'm worried he won't make it through the night. And is there anything else to do...
