diahhrea

Watery diarrhea (seen both yellowish and green w clear whitish), somewhat lethargic, comb turning pale, not eating as much, drinking corrid solution 2 tsp per gallon because it seemed like coccidiosis. She is on third day of treatment and is now roosting but still doesn’t seem too much better...

Hello - we rescued 4 commercial barn hens 3 weeks ago (our first ever). 1 has been bullied badly (ironic as she is the largest, with most feathers - but is also the most timid and very sweet) and we have had to intervene a couple of times. The last 2 nights we’ve gone to lock them in the coop...

Hello this chick is just about two weeks old, she is having pasty butt since about 3 days ago. I attached some picture of her and her stool. Can anyone give me some suggestion? Thank you so much!

Hi folks, lately my flock’s droppings have been a bit runny, but I’m not sure what could be causing this. I doubt it’s coccidoisis, because they’ve been treated with corrid. Could lice cause this? We’ve been dealing with them, but are treating with permethrin. Also, a few hens have dirty butts...

Hi all, I'm new to chickens and can use some help. This is Ms. Red who is 8 months old and from Flagstaff AZ. Flagstaff is not your typical Arizona warm sunny weather. We live in the mountains where it's super dry and snowy and drops below freezing almost every wintery night. Red sleeps with...

Hi there, I have 7 chickens. 4 out of my 7 chickens have runny poop. Which makes them have runny poppy butts. They are 10 months old. They are on Purina premium Layena crumbles from tractor supply. I also feed them their crushed egg shells and purina poultry grit. I give them my bread scraps, my...

My name is Tammy and we bought 6 chickens April 13th 2019. I am married with 2 girls ages 14 & 20. We have 2 dogs and indoor cats. We kept the baby chickens in a brooder in our mud room. Then moved them to a coop that we set up in our Pole barn. Now my husband is just finishing the run to attach...

Hey Friends, I don't have much more to add outside of the title besides the fact that my sweet Spam is clearly not feeling too well and is lethargic. I've found a few odd bits of soft shell that someone had clearly passed in the coop, though I wasn't sure who. Then I found or or two signs that...

My rock buff, Goldie has been in the nest box for days now. I have taken her out and she poops and eats a little something and then goes right back in a nesting box. She also has not laid an egg since she started doing this. It’s been about a week. I check on them twice a day. Make sure there...

I have used BYC for almost a year now to find some of the most useful info when it comes to caring for my hens. This is my very first post, and unfortunately, it’s one that comes with some heartache. I have a small little backyard flock - three sweet Red Sex Link hens. They are 9 months old, and...

Hi Everyone Abit of background: Afew weeks ago I posted a thread about my Pekin Bantam - she had a swollen eye/ earlobe with a tick on which we removed. She was lethargic & not eating much & after 2.5 days the swelling did not go down. We took her to the vet who gave her an antibiotic injection...

First, apologies for not being able to find the list of symptoms/conditions to answer, I will try my best to remember from other posts I've read. I brought a point of lay Sussex hen a few months ago who has finally started laying in the past week. First, I noticed that she consistently did...

Hello Everyone. I have an 11 month old Buff Orpington named Tiny-tiniest of our flock of four BO hens. Nine days ago she started having diarrhea, and same day other chickens pulled out her messy rear end fluff before I noticed what was happening. She eats grass and her regular feed-layer crumble...

Hi everyone! I have a chicken that isn't feeling too well and I can't figure it out. I think it might be egg peritonitis, but I haven't dealt like anything like that before so I'm not sure. She's a 10 month old easter egger that looks like a red sex link, but lays green eggs very regularly. The...

I came home from work to find my Cayuga didn't seem like she is feeling 100%. I will list the symptoms and what I have done. If anyone can offer advice it would be appreciated. My other Cayuga didn't make it during shipment so I really REALLY don't want to lose Sonia Duckstoyevsky! The first...

Should I be worried about this? I’m not sure if I’ve seen a solid poop from this little one yet. It behaves normally and eats, drinks and is active. It’s 5 days old. It has had pasty butt a couple of times. I have added a little ACV to their water.

Hello everyone! My grandfather has been having an issue with one of his roosters. He has found it in the “dead chicken” pose at least three times with its right leg stuck out behind it stiff as a bored. He said it appeared to be 95% dead every time, it’s eyes are dialates, and it has a...

Hello. I am brand new here and pretty new with owning my own chickens (it's been about one year). Yesterday I was late getting out to the chickens. It was almost dark. When I opened the door, Curious Georgia was sitting in the nesting box with her head facing the back corner. I thought it was...
