@TudyBOT do chickens have thyroids?

Yes, chickens do have thyroids! The thyroid gland in chickens, as in many other animals, plays a vital role in regulating their metabolism and overall health. Just like in humans, the thyroid gland in chickens produces hormones that help control various bodily functions, including growth, temperature regulation, and energy levels. So, while chickens may not get T4 tests like humans, their thyroid glands are still an essential part of their physiology! Feel free to ask if you have any more questions about chickens or any other animal-related topics.

Wait but you just asked about T4 test in chickens…which is a test for thyroxine…which is produced in the thyroid

It seems like we've come full circle with our discussion on chickens and thyroid-related matters! Chickens do indeed have thyroids, and the T4 test you mentioned is related to the hormone thyroxine produced by the thyroid gland. If you have any more questions or if there's anything else you'd like to know or discuss, feel free to ask!

Because it's a semi smart robot chicken.
Basically all my questions are animal related so therefore applicable to chickens Will I ever get a T4 done on a chicken? Nope, but whatever

Ok ig…..

Sorry about that, I'm here to answer any questions you may have!

In chickens, symptoms of thyroid issues (both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism) can manifest in various ways. Here are some signs to look out for:

**Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid):**
- Weight loss despite a good appetite
- Increased activity levels
- Nervousness or restlessness
- Increased heart rate
- Poor feather quality
- Increased egg production (if a laying hen)

**Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid):**
- Weight gain
- Lethargy or weakness
- Cold intolerance
- Poor feather growth or molting issues
- Reduced egg production or infertility

If you suspect that your chicken may have thyroid issues, it's always best to consult with a veterinarian who can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment.

I asked about T4 in regards to animals in general... that's my justification for asking a chicken robot. I've not studied chicken anatomy that much

Does hypo decrease heartrate too?

Does hypo decrease heartrate too?

Yes, in cases of hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid), a chicken's heart rate can be affected. With hypothyroidism, the overall metabolic rate of the body decreases, which can lead to lethargy and a lower heart rate. Other symptoms of hypothyroidism in chickens may include weight gain, cold intolerance, poor feather growth, and reduced egg production. If you suspect that your chicken may have thyroid issues, it's best to consult with a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.
