Hello!
I have a hen who has been dealing with a respiratory issue for the past month. I have been applying VetRX to her throat basically everyday. She seemed like she was getting better, but today she isn't looking too good. She was walking slower than usual, her comb was flopped over a little...
Hello all!
This morning I went to the coop to let the girls out, and my normally peppy, clingy EE was seeming "off". She was slow to the feeder, and wasn't attached to my hip like normal. She did show interest in breakfast, but after just went and sat quietly under a tree by herself. Noticing...
My flock was attacked by a swarm of buffalo gnats it was HORRIFIC. All my pullets seem to be doing ok except for one who got the worst of it. I mean hundreds of these things eating her alive in her eyes, nose, and body. The attack happened yesterday at sunset now about 11 hours later she’s doing...
Hi all. One of my 2yo barred rock hens has been lethargic all day. She will come over for scratch and was out in our covered run foraging and drank water while I was watching her. She also had 2 normal looking poops and 1 more watery poop while I was watching her. I don't know if she laid an egg...
I'm pretty sure my 3-week old duckling has sour crop. I noticed one was acting different today - lethargic, not keeping up with the group, chirping constantly. The duckling is also quite smaller, maybe half the size of the other ducks. I picked the duck up to look for any signs of illness and I...

2) What is the behavior, exactly.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms?

Hi all, I just got 12 chicks from tractor supply (4 Rhode island reds, 4 wynadotte I think, and 4 cinnamon queens). 2 of the 4 cinnamon queens are having trouble.
I found one this morning lying on the ground near the water bowl and the others were just walking right on her. I went to pick her...
Hello I’m sorry but please can anyone help me out? I have a chicken (I’ve been told she’s a red sex link and I don’t know her age) and today when I got home I let her out of the run and into my yard (which is mostly brick) and she went to go scratch at a corner with some dirt. I go inside for an...
I have a hen that is around 2 years old! Lately she has been standing very still and once I checked on her I saw that she has brown stuff surrounding her vent and weird green/white discharge! She isn’t eating! I have soaked her in warm water and a few maggots came out! She also makes a pain like...
My 6 year old mixed breed Bantam buff Orpington/buff Brahma has been lethargic for about a week now. She has separated herself from the flock (11 total all mixed breeds and ages, all but one are hens) which she’s not done before. She’ll stand around all puffed up, even in mild weather looking...
Good morning everyone,
I have a hen Penelope that has been known to prolapse over the last couple years (she’s around 3 1/2 years old). Normally I have not had any trouble fixing the prolapse every time and she has always seem normal and healthy other than that. Earlier this week she wasn’t...
I hatched some quail chicks 4 days ago and they were all doing perfect but when I got home from work today 4 of them had died. The other chicks all looked pretty lethargic so I took them outside on some grass and they perked up alot but once I put them back in the brooder box they all returned...
Sometime maybe last week, could have been longer than that, we had one of the ISA browns lay a wrinkled Egg. Fast forward to this past Friday and I noticed one of the ISA browns very sluggish, swaggering, and lethargic. Her feathers seem easy to fall out, her comb is off in color.
I'm guessing...

I brought home 10 chicks on Saturday. They hatched the Wednesday before. They were vaccinated for meraks and coccidiosis. They are on Poultry grain chick starter.
On Monday I noticed one EE chick standing with eyes closed. I started probiotics and electrolytes in a separate dish and hand fed...
My hen is hardly opening her left eye, and when she does it's very watery. She has also not been very active today. I'm very worried it's Marek's. Does anyone know anything about this?
Two days ago I went to let our chickens out to roam a bit while I cleaned up their pen. One chicken didnt come out with the others but just stood in the run doorway which caught my attention. I notices she was just standing there with one eye closed so I hustled the other chickens back into the...
We've been raising ducklings (two Pekins and two that look like mallards) for about a week and a half now (they're about three weeks old), and recently things have been off in our flock.
It all started Thursday (It's Sunday now), and throughout the day everything had been fine and good. That...
This chick hobbles around for food and water, but seems way less active and is laying down. I don't know if there's anything I can do for it but I want to save it. please help.
I have three Americana hens who are all about 5 to 6 years old. But I noticed just today that one of them has a lot of clear brownish liquid coming from her beak like she's throwing up. I called my vet and she said to call back in 24 hours if she is still doing it, cause there is a chance she is...
