    Hi all, my 2 year old Wyandotte was taken to the vets two weeks ago because I suspected an impacted crop. They looked after her for a day, crop feeding some type of emergency nutrition. They also noticed her panting and prescribed antibiotics. I followed the full course, and after a week saw no...

    Is my Hen sick?

    Hello! Need help with my Rhode Island Red Hen. She usually runs around with the flock. But she is standing alone as the others run off. She was normal yesterday, her vent is clean. She just isn't acting herself. She walks around for a bit, then stops. Any advice please?

    Sick chicken? Or not?

    My pet chicken, a Leghorn, was sick… is sick? I don’t know anymore. This morning, she was just standing in the downstairs part of the coop. Not moving. Unresponsive. I picked her up, checked on her, and she was lethargic, not hungry, didn’t really wanna move. She eventually hid under the porch...

    Mystery Chicken Illness?

    I posted in December (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/coccidiosis.1607010/) about a sick chicken that did not survive. She was treated with Corrid and sulfa antibiotics. I have another chicken that is starting to exhibit the same symptoms that the previous chicken had. I am hoping I...

    Sickly Chicken and Overall Low Egg Count

    Good morning! About two months ago, we found one of our leghorns passed away in the nesting box. We assumed egg bound as no other chickens were showing signs of distress, overall egg count was good, there were no signs of off colored or textured poop and no signs of mites. Because she died in...

    Sickly Serama Hen

    Sick hen??

    This morning I noticed my White leghorn hen was just staying still. I don't feel any egg that could be stuck, no sneezing, eyes look bright, little wobbly. I separated her from the rest of the flock. Does anyone have any ideas? Also she is only like 2 years old.

    Patricia the sad Wyandotte

    Patricia is a Wyandotte just over a year old. We saved her from a not great living situation in June where her issue had developed and now has set in. She is losing feathers, but definitely not molting as there are no follicles left on the skin. It's just seems to be bare skin below. And the...
