tired

Hi there, My Silkie 2yr old rooster has been very lethargic this morning. I treated the flock with amperol these past 5 days, but found out my hen who was sick actually had a prolapsed vent and I think coccidiosis wasn’t the problem. I changed out the water to regular and added nutridense to it...

She’s been shaking her head with her mouth open for the past couple of days. We were going to bring her to the vet soon, but today, she started stumbling around. She’s really weak right now and we have no idea why. It seemed like simple leg cramps at first, but she seems VERY tired and weak. She...

2 month old plimith rock (born early July), has been lethargic, sort of just stands around with her eyes shut - almost reluctant to sit down. Pale comb and legs, hasn’t been trying to get food in the flock but is eating when she’s alone. Very tired, solid purplish poo. She was born in the midst...

Chicken has been acting sleepy, falling asleep in the middle of the run while sisters are foraging. She slowly walks to food, and tries to grab food only to have a sister moving three times her speed and grabbing up the food. I started giving them scratch with added protein treat and some extra...

My poor baby susu is a NN silkie bantam. She has always been on the struggle bus. She had a lame leg when I first got her at 5 months and we helped heal that. As soon as she got healthy and walking again, she became our bantam NN silkie roosters favorite. She would often lay on her side when...

PLEASE HELP SICK CHICKEN My chicken Ophelia has been acting so strange. She is a two year old barred rock that lives in Hawaii with 4 sister chickens. I clean her water regularly and add new mulch to her large outdoor enclosure. The last week and a half she has been lethargic and moving slower...

For context, we have free roam chickens (we are far away from any roads, big property, but they stick around cause we feed em). One of our newer hatches (she's about 2 weeks old) isn't doing too well. We don't know the breed, but she keeps nodding off while walking, and then waking up to see...

My flock has had white diarrhea and occasional respiratory issues since the end of May/ beginning of June, diagnostic testing and a vet isn’t an option currently so I know it’s anyone’s guess what my flock actually has. Some suggestions included renal coccidia, or a very mild form infectious...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a bit of advice as one of my rescue hens has been on off looking under the weather. We've had her since January and up until around October she was doing well. She has seen a vet a few times since then but we are not within an area that has a specialist that deals...

Hi! I have four Pekin ducks, 2 males and 2 females, the females are just over 28 weeks. my one female has started laying eggs for about a week now. Ever since then she has been acting exhausted. She will still get up when we come out with treats get in her pool and prune her feathers but...

Hello, I am a 16 year old raising ducks for the first time. I have two pekin ducklings that I got from Tractor Supply almost a month ago, and one of them seems a little sluggish and tired-looking but the other one is lively and fine. I gave them two baths/swims outside and a warm shower...

Hello! About a week ago I got two week old chicks from a farm in the area. One of them, a white Americana, isn’t looking so good. I put my chicks outside under a wire top this morning to let them play in the grass. They were in the sun, and I’m afraid she had a heat stroke. Her legs are splayed...

So i put 8 quail eggs in my incubator and put it at a temp of 37.5 and a humidity of 45/30% mostly 30% it was all good and all but i was getting tired of getting out of bed every 2 hours to fill the incubator with a syringe with about 5 mililitters of water.. And secondly when i touch the eggs...

Does anyone know what's wrong with her? She's so lethargic and I don't think she's getting enough oxygen. Her chirps are scratchy and shrill when she does get knocked out of her gasping, dizzy state, usually only ever because she got scared or excited.

Hi everyone, One of my 2 month old chickens, who we suspect is a rooster, is sick. He was perfectly fine this morning, eating and all, but then we let him outside where he would usually go crazy eating grass, but today he just stood there not eating and barely staying awake. I then when up...

Hello! A young sweet little polish bantam was dropped off at our place. I’ve raised many chickens but she’s got a few things going on that I’ve never seen before. 1) sleeps with head hanging down 2) has brown scaly stuff between toes 3) beak doesn’t close fully - I don’t believe this is really...

Hi there chicken folk! I'm having a bit of a dilemma. I have a black australorp hen named Fanny who is five years old. Though she's about middle aged, she normally seems quite healthy and vibrant. Howeeeever, she has laid two soft shelled eggs recently, and she has also been seen having a bit of...

My Rhode Island Red, Chocobo, has developed a lump on her chest. It is soft on the bottom but hard at the top. She went into molt a week ago, since then she has been exhausted and not eating. I thought it was a combination of the molt and the heat, and treated her for such. Vitamins, protein...

I have a Rhode Island Red that was doing fine yesterday but is now extremely weak/tired looking. It's been up in the 105 degree zone the past few days and I think that might be the main factor. She layed down in a very tight spot with shade. I found her on the ground and when I picker her up...

My silkie chick is eating and drinking normally. However the past two days she has pooped some pure clear droppings and is acting a little more tired than normal, and today she just pooped what looks like blood (see attached). I’m familiar with the poop chart. She is about a week (week and a...
