1) What type of bird, age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
Golden Laced Bearded Polish Rooster, 17 weeks, thin enough that his breast bone is sticking out under his feathers.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
He’s Lethargic, tail down, and liquid...
Hey guys,
I posted about my roo a couple weeks ago because I noticed that he had lost quite a bit of weight and had his feathers picked out. I solved the feather picking problem but the weight issue is still present.
I think I figured out what the problem is.. he got frostbite on his wattles...
I have no idea what’s going on with my poor boy Rowan. This past month or so I’ve noticed that he’s lost a noticeable amount of weight and I can’t figure out what it’s from. Every night I lock them up I feel his crop to see how much he’s eaten and it’s usually less than half as full as the girls...
I'm starting OMAD tommorow. Does anybody else fast?
I've been doing 16:8 for a couple days now, and I've done OMAD and ADF/36hr fasting in the past. I LOVE fasting days, I feel so energetic and unstoppable on my fasting days. I'm not doing ADF/36hr fasting right now because I'm on a weightloss...
I apologize in advance for the length and for any future clarification questions. I am terrified of making things worse due to thinking I understand and being wrong.
I have 4 chickens and a rooster. When I got them mid July they were this year's hens to my understanding and seemed very healthy...
Hello All!
I had a question about weight loss for my chubby Cayuga, Fonda. Her "food boob" is much larger than all of the other ducks in my flock. I have a mixed flock of runners, Welshies, khaki Campbells and cayugas. The one other Cayuga doesn't have as prominent a keel and they are all fed...
I’m reposting here at the suggestion of others.

He is a French Toulouse.
His apatite seems fine, he’s eating a lot
his food is digested, no whole bits passing through.
No blood in his droppings
Droppings are brown and a little watery.

I made a post before but it went unnoticed, so I guess I’ll try again.

And this is me today, 23.12.2018!
How did I do this? Well I'm glad to share my story with you if anyone's interested!
hello everyone, I’m very concerned about one of my girls! I noticed a couple days ago that she was to weak to fly up into the coop.(about knee high on me, I’m a little over 5 feet) She was acting normal and foraging and eating the food and drinking the water I put out so I just put it off as the...
Hi all,
This is my first flock, I have 5 ameracauna's about 8 months old. I was out of town about a week & when I returned I found one of them is much skinnier than the others and seems to be loosing feathers around the back of her neck. Our weather has been a bit drastic, down to about 10 at...
