90 degrees is still quite warm for chickens, they can tolerate worse, but any other health issues might make them more susceptible. Everything you mentioned except for the pale face sounds heat related. Having a pale face on a chicken could be a sign of anemia or malnutrition. I have found with...

your rooster is missing the scutes off his feet, these will likely never grow back. It’s like the chickens nails, if they are torn out by the root, they can’t grow back ever. His feet look like they have healed well despite all this, and he should be fine. He might grow callouses on the...

I have a goose with club foot, not exactly the same as your duck, but similar. Water fowl are quite resilient animals, and my goose just walks on the back of her curled foot Instead. As long as your duck isn’t suffering pain, and can still flap their wings, they will likely be able to exist...

I have no idea what breed she is sadly, we got her as a mixed breed chick. She is only a bit over a year old and has always been an infrequent layer, so when I realized she was laying rubber eggs at night it was a bit of a surprise. I don't know when she started laying these night eggs, could...

Yeah, I hope its temporary too. She is one of our more dominant hen, and eats as much of the layer crumble feed as the rest of the hens do, so I would have no idea what it is.

Hello, I noticed one night a few weeks ago when putting my chickens away at night that one of my hens was acting strange and looked like it was squatting while roosting. I was a little confused and then it just layed an egg right there on the roosting stand. She had laid a shell less rubber egg...

Hello, I'm new to chickens from 2021 and I joined this forum a few months ago when one of my hens got sick, but I didn't introduced myself until now. I'm from western Canada and I have a small fenced coop with 9 chickens and 2 geese. I have previously had ducks, but had to re-home them as they...

Hi, thanks for the reply. While I will still admit that a reproductive infection could be a potential cause, it doesn't fit all of her symptoms, and upon treatment of her feet mites she was beginning to make a recovery. When I got her in the summer of 2021 she already had scaly leg mites, I had...

Hello, I have a sick hen who went downhill due to un untreated case of scaly leg mites. I didn't realize anything was wrong until one day she was just on the ground in the corner, she could barely walk, and had stopped eating. By the time I realized what was wrong with her, and started treating...

Thank you, this is a great starting point for treatment. The problem with chickens is that a symptom can have a number of causes, but this one lines up with a lot of the symptoms. I'll try to see if I can get antibiotics in the pharmacy, if not I can always get them online. worst case scenario...

Hi, I live in western Canada, and they don't allow you to pick up antibiotics at the vets without an examination, which I can't really afford. She and the other one do look a lot like a sex-link birds, but based on the size of her spurs, I thought she must be a few years old. She was laying eggs...

One of my chickens that I got from a friend is now sitting on the ground in the coop, and isn't moving around too much. When I put food in front of her, she eats fast like she's hungry, but then stops before too long. Her crop is empty in the morning, but was only slightly filled at night. She...
