sick hen

I have a hen that is not acting right. Her name is Scottie, and she just turned two years about a month ago. she’s been acting very lethargic the last week or so but I’m not sure what’s wrong with her her symptoms are…. Weak and walking unsure of herself, kind of a bit like she could fall over...

Hi everyone, I have a hen with an upper respiratory infection. I don’t know what kind of infection it is since I’m not bringing her into the vet. It’s my first time with a sick hen, she gasps for air, wheezing, and coughing. Anyways, back to my original question, I was just wondering how long it...

My hen is gurgling when she breaths. Which I would assume is some sort of respitory infection. It just started last night. She's worse today and now she has her bum hanging down. I put honey and apple cider vinegar in her water and red pepper flakes and oregano in her food, but I don't think...

My 2 year old hen Rita has been bloated for a few months now. I thought she had worms, so I added apple cider vinegar and garlic into their food. It kept getting worse. I left for a trip last week, and lest the flock to my dad’s care. I came back yesterday. When I let them out this morning, I...

Hello! I made a post yesterday about my hen (9 month old blue andulusian) who suddenly started acting weird, not herself, lethargic. Things got even stranger at night when she decided to sleep in the nesting box and then, at 12am, starting doing the egg song/distress call for about ten minutes...

Hello everyone, this morning when I went to let out my flock I found my black almost two year old silkie hen Onyx not moving. She is laying down and panting. Her butt is dirty and has a lot of diarrhea. She will occasionally stand up but she keeps panting and closing her eyes. She will not walk...

Hello! I can never seem to catch a break with my hens, and this will be the last time I ever purchase chicks from tractor supply because of it. Anyway, I have a 9 month old Blue Andalusian who has not been acting her normal self today. Normally, she is a piggy and spends the entire day...

Hello everyone, I could use some guidance/advice. I have one hen, about 9 months old, that isn’t doing great. A few weeks ago, I noticed her one eye was super swollen/crusty and looked severely infected. She also had diarrhea. I took her to the vet, they prescribed an antibiotic, an...

Our 4 year old hen Sunshine is sick. She's an ISA brown, turned 4 in February, and is usually very curious and outgoing, and probably my most food motivated chicken. I found her in the nest box Friday night, and her entire vent was matted shut with green/white diarrhea all over her. She was...

Ok, so on Sunday we bought two new Isa Browns that we were told are both 10mos old... One of them is in great shape, full plumage, bright red comb and wattles, drinking, eating, etc. The other one... she looks like she's been through it. It was our first time buying chickens from anyone, and...

Hello all, I’m back, though unfortunately not under better circumstances. Another one of my hens, 3 year old Barred Rock Luela, seemed to contract a mysterious illness. Over the course of last week, she seemed to slow down and not keep up with the flock as usual. I didn’t think much of it...

My 8 month old frizzle has a huge bald patch from her back to her tail. she also has a couple of smallish bleeding wounds. what should i do?

Hello everyone. So I have a hen that started having a foaming and leaking eye about 4 months ago. That time all my flock got sick with fowl pox, some of them with the wet version of it, got also foamy eyes. However, she never developed scabs like the others, just foamy eyes. The fowl pox passed...

I have a Cuckoo Maran hen that is about 10 months old. Last week she started acting just a bit off, puffy and off to the side by herself. She had some watery poops so I brought her inside for a night with ACV and some protein (eggs/meat). That night she pooped what looked to be a small 1in long...

So this chicken has been quarantined now for a couple of days and is progressively getting worse. She is lethargic, wobly, her wings are drooping and I have had to bathe her bottom (It's yellow-orange-ish) has insane discharge attaching to her feathers. I broguht her inside 3 days ago because of...

My approximately eight year old hen took ill or got injured about four days ago. When she tries to walk, it seems that one leg won't work - I can't tell if it's paralyzed or hurt. Her toes/talons are curled up tight on that leg. She is also puffed up, but it's cold here so I'm not sure if it's...

My lead hen who was sick a few months ago is acting odd again; I treated the flock with corid and VetRx back in September but for the past few weeks Salt has been slower, eating less, and while she can walk normally has lost her balance and fallen when we put her down from being held and when...

Hi there, my 11 Mo. old BR hen started limping over a week ago… started out as a slight limp on her left leg, within hours she went to not walking on it at all and sitting down in the yard after a few steps so I separated her from the rest of the flock. After separating her I noticed worms in...

My 2 year old hen has been sick for 6 months. She has lost weight even though she eats and drinks, has constant diarrhea, is weak and wobbly, just stands in one place. She has not laid an egg during this time. I have ruled out every disease ive researched and tried sever Al treatments. I keep...

We have a Golden Sexlink Chicken that is at least 30 weeks old. She was purchased as a "coop-ready 6-11week old" chicken back in June. We noticed she would sleep on the floor of the coop while the other chickens slept on various levels of the roosting bars (more than enough space for everyone...
