When I got up this morning to let out my chickens, I found one on the floor not being able to move. I brought her in immediately and tried to find out what was wrong.
I don’t think she’s egg bound because she just pooped a few minutes ago. And I don’t think it’s bumblefoot stopping her from...
Looking for help/advice…
We have one hen who has not been looking well for the past few days. She’s not eating or drinking much, lethargic and her comb is sagging.
Thinking she’s egg bound, we gave her an epson salt bath and a gentle massage last night and this morning. I don’t feel anything...

Hello, I’m very concerned about one of my chickens (a Buff Orpington, approximately 4 years old and need urgent quickly! This is usually a sign that they will die soon and I really want to do something now!
Symptoms:
1. Limping: I noticed she was limping earlier today and sitting down often...
I've got one chicken who has been sluggish for the last few months. A month ago I gave her Clavamox pills for 5 days and she got slightly better (maybe coincidence).
Can I give her another 5-7 day treatment?
Good morning everyone,
I bought two young bantam cochins at the Ohio National a few weeks ago. I brought them home, and put them in quarantine. After a day, both had a sneeze and very light gurgling when breathing. I immediately treated them with All-in-One powder, which treats multiple...
Maybe 3-4 days ago this chicken had signs of waterbelly.
We drained some fluid out and she was doing better. Eager to be out with her friends, so I put her back on this morning.
Now she's mostly sitting again and moves a bit gingerly. Legs seem like they're sticking out a bit, but maybe that's...
Hello all.
I have a 3 month old rooster I hatched from my flock (which is making this even harder for me). He’s a mixture of a lot of things, I really couldn’t tell you what he is specifically. He’s maybe 5 pounds at most. Yesterday, I found him in the corner of the cage by himself with his...

She has since pooped since posting, I've been giving her mineral oil so does this look normal?
She's getting worse 😭 😔
Hello, we have a 9 month Olive egger that as of yesterday was showing symptoms of egg bound, she was limping on one side while penguin huddling and her vent is pulsating, we soaked her in warm Epsom salt twice and oiled up her vent, I tried massaging her and feeling for anything but I couldn't...
Hey everyone, I need some help, I have been having some issues in my flock. So, I've had chickens die, like a lot, and I just dissected one, and her intestines looked fine on the outside, but, she was skinny as a fence rail, sick for several weeks, and just overall dumpy and not normal. That's...
Hi guys, I'm new here. I was offered 8 chicks for adoption from a local farm. All's been well over the last 4 days but today I noticed that one of the chicks seems to be declining? I'm not sure if its a misinterpretation of behavior on my end but I'm starting to get really worried. It (unsure of...
Hello, I have a 10 week old white legwhorn who has been acting very lethargic and weak this past week. Shes also very puffed up and her crown has completely went lop sided.
I have started her on Corid but am not sure this is the right approach. I have 9 other chickens and have since...
So my mom brought me this americana pullet who’s around 3-4 months old. She brought her to me because she was sick, she was just on the floor laying there looking dead and I noticed when I picked her up, she had her legs tucked in behind her head which was weird, i’ve never seen that before. She...
So my hen had actually been laying more often now and hasn’t been gaping. Not today how ever she’s been slow and lethargic ? Any reason why ? Crouched down her neck more in , walking slow.Not pecking as much. She is a creamlegbar 35 weeks old
I'm a hobby farmer from British Columbia, although admittedly my parents do most of the work cause I'm a bit of a germaphobe. I live with my Mom and Dad and a back yard full of fowls near the forest, geese, ducks, muscovies, and many chickens, all free range.
I was out for a month to do house...
Attached is the preliminary necropsy report for my white wyandotte cockerel. This is only what they found visually. They are running multiple tests that should be back later this week.
A few things that stick out to me:
- Green/gray lung
- right pectoral muscle has a focal hemorrage: I think...
Morning everyone
I have a sick hen. I'm treating her now and was wondering. How long after her symptoms stop can I reintroduce her to the main flock? She's still sick right now but not sure how long to wait to put her back when she's better.
Hi, please comment if you have an idea of what could be wrong!
Just this morning I noticed my hen struggling to walk. She is falling over and loosing her balance. I examined her feet which both look healthy and she didn’t seem to have any foot or leg pain as I touched her.
