Hi my hen is a Rhode Island Red and is only just over a year old. Yesterday she stood around the garden and wouldn’t move but I didn’t think much of it. She usually has a problem laying every so often because she lays double yolks and is always fine. But today was worse. She has stood in the...
About 3 weeks ago we treated our young flock for cocci, (5 days). One ameraucana was sluggish and anything we tried didn’t help, so we tried Corid. All seemed good after that. Today our silkie is just sluggish and sleeping. This morning would not eat or drink. Gave some nutridrench and separated...
Hi all, I have been a chicken keeper for 6 weeks now. I have 23 chicks that were just treated for cocidia. The treatment ended three days ago, and everything seemed fine. This morning I went into the basement to change their food and water, and noticed one of my chicks alone on one side of the...
I just got four Silver Laced Polish chicks on Friday and they all seemed fine until I check on them this morning. Three were running around, chirping, and eating but one was laying in the food dish and I thought it was just sleeping but when I gently moved it to try and wake it up it wouldn’t...
It may be too late, as she's worsened, but my 4 year old Black Australorp started fluffing up about a week ago. I've treated her for a vitamin deficiency before, but as the week progressed she started not moving around as much and now she can't stand.
Her poop is normal, her crop feels empty...
My girl is not doing well, so this post may be a bit long trying, to give as much detail as possible.
HISTORY
She is middle aged (not sure exact age), has two friends who are perfectly fine, but has taken a turn for the worse. I think she might be a golden sussex, but I'm not positive...
I have a free-range 2 yr old peacock. I went out of town for three nights and my mom came to feed all of our animals. I have been getting home at dark trying to feed all the animals and running in to get myself and the kids ready for bed. Tuesday night I realized I hadn’t seen Pete the last two...
I picked up my chicks yesterday and the little salmon faverolle was by far the most active and adventurous. But she just won't eat or drink. No vision problems but refused to drink from the chick waterer--would dip her beak in but not drink - and I have yet to see her take more than one bite of...
My 2 month old Rouen is acting very lethargic. Her sibling of the same age is doing perfectly fine as is her other hutch mate. She’s quite a bit smaller than her sibling. We just moved her outside full time about a week ago. Wile letting her and all of the other ducks (11 total) run around and...
Hello everyone, my English is not very good, I’ll try my best to explain the situation.
Yesterday morning one of my hens made very big noise and woke me up, then I found the gate is open and she is outside the chicken coop, just near the gate. There are lots of cats in my neighborhood, I think...
Have a sick chick she just sits around don't drink eat wont try running away when being picked up she sneezes or coughs with a head shake afterwards almost looks like a seizure but I'm sure that's not the case seeing she gets back up been giving her electrolyte vitamin mix by eye dropper...
