Hi everyone,
I have a 5 year old silkie rooster he's been acting not quite himself for about a week, i searched him for mites but can't seem to see anything. We've had mites in the past that affected the chickens in the same way so i have been treating him with dust and xeno450 spot on. (The...
One of my buff brahma roos almost 10 weeks old is much smaller than the rest and he walks with kind of droopy wings. He eats and drinks fine the others do not seem to bother him. I have checked him for mites and lice and he is clear and I did a fecal and that too is clear. No coughing, no...
First time duck mama (plus, my first time with a broody duck!) She has only been on the nest for about a week, and she was not on her nest for most of the day. We thought, she may have gotten attacked, because she wasn't there for some time. We took the eggs and put them under a very broody...
Hi, I have been given a couple pullets with problems. The lady made her own feed mix, Austrian peas and barley, and I don't know what else. Would this be sufficient? One has wry neck and the other can't walk and is still fairly emaciated after two weeks. She eats well enough, we have commercial...
I have an Olive Egger Cockrel that all
Of the sudden 3 days ago started getting weak in the legs and breathing from its mouth. (Not yawning or panting.). Also shaking head every now and then. Very sleepy, and no real strength in legs. Still eating, but not really drinking. I’ve been giving...
Hello all, today I noticed one of my chicks I hatched late last week is very lethargic. I checked to find his abdomen coated in.. I dont know what.
He seemed lethargic a few days ago, but after a nap he was up and eating and drinking, and I noticed the naval area had a scab looking thing. I...
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...

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...
