sick 1+ year old hen

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...

we have a year and a half old hen who has a yellow clouded eye that irritates her. It started the day before yesterday and her other eye is very dilated like shes in pain. She hasn’t been moving much — shes very lethargic and picking at food and sleeping most of the day. We’ve been giving her...

I got home the other day and she had serious wry neck. She is an indoor only chicken. I immediately gave her an oral dose of poultry cell. I have polish and silkies, vitamin deficiencies are always a worry. But 2 days later. Now she barely walks. Her wattles are on and off pale. I finally got...

2 yr old ISA Brown, named "#5" has been laying less frequently however, eggs are very large and thick towards the tip of the egg. Last 48 hrs she's been lethargic... Standalone sunbathing, pale comb and closing her eyes (haven't seen the penguin stance yet). Today I inspected the vent and...

One of our chickens currently has sour crop. we have isolated her, massaged, given ACV, drained the crop, pretty much all the basic measures you see when looking for treatment options. She is acting relatively normal, but her crop will not seem to fully empty and today she her poop was green. We...

My first small flock of well summers are about a year old. Last week I noticed one of the 5 had ruffled feathers and had a shrunken pale comb and waddle. I separated her and she died a day later. I noticed 3 of the remaining 4 have scaley shrunken waddles now. They are all eating and drinking...

Our flock fell victim to predictors a few months back devastating my toddler. We found a local on craiglist with "laying hens" for sale and picked 5 more up that night to right and calm the tears. The pen they came from was full of a variety of other fowl and farm animals and tiny. After bring...

I have a hen who is almost four. She has been a little slow the last month but seemed to be in good health. I noticed her going off by herself more but nothing too abnormal. Last night when I closed up the coop she was on one side alone and almost seemed blind.she ran into my legs and out the...

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.

Hello, Back in December, right before Christmas, one of me hens (Rhode Island Red, 2 2/3 years old) stopped eating and was acting lethargic; she also started limping. I took her to the vet, got antibiotics and she got better in no time. Fast forward to last week and yet another hen started...

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...

Would please love your help for our poor 1.5 year old Easter Egger! She has been making a gasping motion since yesterday (about 24 hours ago). Here is a VIDEO. When we first noticed she was breathing funny, she was hunched in the corner of the run by herself. We have had high temperatures in the...

My sweet girl Dixie was sluggish and sat down when she ate she also had this really bad poopy butt. She is getting better, she is still slow but not waddling by feeling her keel she seems to have lost weight compared to other chickens. She still has the bad diarrhea and I wash her behind with...

Hello! I've never written on this forum before but my family and I could really use some help on determining what is wrong with one of our chickens. Here are some photos: (let me know if you can't see them) Her feet have been getting worse over some time. We didn't think it was bumblefoot...

We bought our chicken not too long ago, we bought 2 and not too long after we bought them Rosey (out of nowhere) died. She was very up and going the day before, and then out of the blue she just laid down and wouldn’t move and closed her eyes and couldnt hold her head up. I tried feeding her...

Hey all - - I’ve got a 4YO hen who started acting strangely the last day or so: -laying in the run alone instead of free-ranging with sisters -pretty poopy, it seems a bit green as well When I go near her she just gets up and slowly walks a few feet away and lays back down.

One of my chickens has been getting sick with the same symptoms every few months and I’m unable to see a vet. The symptoms she has is lethargy, lack of appetite, gurgling sounds from her stomach, red, swollen and sore vent with discharge. I think this time there’s been small bits of blood? I...

I have an approximately 2-year old Plymouth Barred Rock hen. She has been, up til now, a perfectly healthy bird and a good layer. Earlier this month, I noticed she was laying down a lot in the coop - I figured she was simply broody. However, her bottom was somewhat messy and she seemed...

A couple of weeks ago my lavender orpington hen started showing symptoms of illness. I’ve decided to make a post displaying her exact symptoms. Her poop is yellow and gets stuck to her feathers often (i have to clean it off every couple of days). She is not eating or drinking. She has gotten...
