Very long story. BIT OF BACKGROUND STORY- Back in the summer last year I purchased two new hens to go with my flock from the breeder I got my original three from.
All seemed fine, after a week one of the two new ones became seriously unwell. Runny nose. Lethargic and a weird mucus coming out...
I keep getting Leghorn hens with poop like this, I never find the right answer, and they always end up dying. It's only ever been my Leghorns, don't know why. Maybe one of you have the right answer and a solution for me because I am so lost. I found her hiding under my porch and brought her in...
Hi everyone,
I have a 15 week old bluebell that has just done a strange kind of poop.
she looks really well & she’s eating, drinking well & seems happy/lively enough.
Does anyone have any idea if this looks normal or an indication of something to worry about?...
It‘s not pretty, I do...

I have a 5 month old Silkie Pullet battling with what I believe is Wry Neck. As of today it’s officially been a week and I have seen improvements! I know people say it get worse before it get better but now I’m worried about her bowels. She has been eating and drinking now on her...

My Hen looks tiresome after laying egg yesterday. This morning I observed her poop/feces is color green with white. Could somebody give some recommendations on how to treat her? Please. I'm just a beginner in raising free-range chickens, your recommendation will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
A few colleagues called us up three days ago and brought us a duckling that had been abandoned on the side of the road. Its been a few years since we've raised ducklings, so my partner and I have put together some questions to clarify any concerns we have about our new foster duckie. (We mostly...
My poor boy.
I’ve got an entirely new flock of 11 birds. Mixed bunch of small Japanese variety and big polish. My sick bird is a polish rooster. Not sure how old, maybe a year. He’s very lethargic, not exploring with the rest of the flock even when I bring out fresh food (veg, fruit scraps). He...
Hello! My chicken, Petunia, is an almost four-year-old Leghorn (she was a rescue from a hatchery, so we got her when she was two years old and have had her since July 2017, I assume her life in the hatchery was stressful).
She's gotten sick before (I thought on the brink of death) and Corid...
