I just bought an entire quail set-up with 3 pens and ~40 birds. One has been acting sickly. It’s doing better now. I noticed it was lethargic last night. It’s a 4-week old coturnix quail. It was puffed up and was incredibly calm (didn’t try to escape me). I also noticed it was very skinny so...
Hello,
I've noticed that several of my hens have a lot of feathers missing, especially around their necks, backs, and tail areas. Their skin looks exposed in places, and it seems like more feathers are showing up in the coop than usual.
They’re also laying significantly fewer eggs than they...
Hello everyone, help needed. We have a young rooster (4-5 months old), who has been sick maybe for a month already. Last month i saw that is eye was looking weird, it was bubbling, i posted the photos here, got some replies that it could be coryza or mycoplasma. At first i tried to give some eye...
One of my 3 Black Copper Marans spent most of the day on the nest yesterday. She is 6 months old. I took 5 eggs out from under her. ( as she 'screamed' at me and pecked the heck out of my hand & arm). I was able to get her to eat a few bites of soft cantaloupe and a few sips of water. I left a...
I have six runner ducks and five chickens. The chickens' routine fecal test came back positive for roundworms so I started deworming both flocks. They don't live together but they share a fence. I've seen no real symptoms other than decreased egg production in both. I'm day three into Aquasol...
I have a Buff Orpington about 1 1/2 years old and a bit on the small side relative to the others chickens of the same breed. For nearly a week she has been relatively idle, wings drooping, and she just sits and does nothing. As of yesterday, though idle, she still ate and drank. Her waddle looks...
Hi,
I have included a picture of my hens watery poop. I noticed it yesterday after washing her and it happened again today after another soak. Is this caused by stressed or should I be concerned about something going on inside. She’s never been dewormed.

I have a five year old hen...
I have a 4 year old chicken who has watery, green poop. I don't know what is going on with her. I have been treating her for Vent Gleet and now she has fly strike which I am also treating. I have never had anything like this happen before and ive been a chicken mom for 4.5 years. I do not see...
I have this hen who is around 1 year old. I found her on the floor unwilling to move and really lethargic. I gave her some water with electrolytes to see if it was dehydration, but when I picked her up she threw up a brown looking liquid that smells like poop. I’m not sure what to do.
My duck has been breathing like this for a week now and it seems to get worse then it’ll be better but I’m worried now she isn’t going to make it. Could it be aspergillus exposure? I have 1 other duck and 5 chickens that are all perfectly fine. What can I do to help her?
Relatively new chicken keeper here,
We were out of town for a day and a half. We just got back yesterday. This morning we noticed that one of our 1 year old australorps was suddenly lethargic and not moving around very much. She was stiff, hunched over, kind of squatting, with her feathers...

My poor girl got poultry lice when one of my friends that has a larger flock was watching her.
I am in the process of treating her for the lice, but the diarrhea started before I realized she had lice and before I started treating her.She has had severe diarrhea for the last week. It is thick...
Hey, we have a buff orpiton with 5 other chickens. We were out of town for a couple of weeks, and we come back and she is pale, lethargic, and around 1450-1480 ml weight ( measured her on a container zeroed out on our food scale, I think around 3 pounds.) she does get bulled by the biggest hen...
My friend’s hen is displaying some very weird symptoms. See video:
She is about 2-3 year old. Rather sudden onset. Seems to be completely blind now as well. Pupils are different sizes, one eye she keeps closing, and she has a weird drifting in her neck. I’m wondering if it could be marek’s...
I noticed August 9th that my silkie, Noot Noot, was lethargic and passing blood in her droppings. I immediately got her on liquid Corid on her water. She perked up the very next day and has been acting just fine, but this is her 5th day on Corid and I'm still finding blood around her enclosure...
She is only 3 weeks old. She was fine last night when we entire to bed. This morning she has her eyes closed, using her head like a kickstand, hanging down on the floor. I tried warm egg yolk but she won’t take it.
I have two chickens who seem to be sick and I’m seriously lost on what to do. One of them, my Black Australorp who just turned 5 months a few days ago, has started to make this gurgling sound along with her right eye being closed shut. The tips of her comb have become dark and she seems to have...
So today me and my boyfriend went to the beach and as soon as we got there we found a female mallard sitting under a willow tree twitching her head uncontrollably and visibly stressed, now for some more context it was 33°c out and it was packed full of people, I’m not sure if she has heat...
I have nine hens, six black Ostralorps and three sexlinks. Three of my hands are looking pretty shabby never really came out of their first molt. They are about two years old. This year I’m only getting about four eggs a day last year I averaged eight to nine.
The one that looks, the worst has...
