Hi everyone, @LittleSticks @Wyorp Rock @Tookie. Thank you all for being compassionate and helped with so much important advice. I appreciate your help. I need to tell you that, unfortunately, I found the hen not breathing around midnight... I'm very sorry. I thought she would survive to the...

Thank you for your help, I will do as you say, and hope for the best. Have a nice evening @Wyorp Rock

Hello @Wyorp Rock, thank you for the quick and detailed answer! I am located in Bulgaria, southern part about 460 meters above sea level. They are 8 female chickens in a flock and regularly lay eggs, but I am not sure when this one laid last time. I really don't know which antibiotic and how...

Hi @Tookie, what is that and what could have caused it? Can I do something to help?

I think there is a problem with the crop. I am looking at her now and the crop is very big. It is hard to the touch, and when I did touch it to check a few drops of liquid came out of her mouth. There is something going on but I don't know what. They are eating a blend of some grains, like...

Hi there, I have e favorite adult chicken who is looking very bad. I noticed it just now. Put her in a cardboard box with some straw to be alone. She is an adult chicken, lying down on one side as it looks like. She cannot walk, not even stand on her feet. Whe she breathes I can hear a strange...

Many thanks @Eggcessive, I'll follow your advice!

Hi everyone, I came here because I'm experiencing something similar with my five-week-old chick. Some days ago I noticed a small air bubble underneath each of his wings – at the wing knockle joint. These air bubbles are very small compared to other Subcutaneous emphysema instances that I've...

Thank you once again! I see, it isn't always easy to differentiate a ruptured air sac and a full crop. What I've understood is the following: If the lump is on the right side of the chest, it could be the crop, but if it goes too far away or upwards behind the neck, then the crop shouldn't be...

Many thanks! I'll keep that in mind if it happens. Hopefully I won't encounter the situation soon.

Hey @Wyorp Rock I just wanted to ask one more health-related question about the chicks with a lump on the right side of their chest and neck. How does one differentiate a Ruptured Air Sac causing a lump of air, and the crop of the chick when it's full? Of course, given that they are on the same...

Thanks for your honest opinion @Wyorp Rock. I see it isn't easy to take a decision like this. I would rather separate a sick chick in it's own brooder and pay more attention and take more care of it in case I'm able to save it. Afterwards, it's all about the chick and how it will tackle the...

Does someone have an advice for my concern mentioned in the quote above?↑ Would be very happy to know your opinion on this. Best, Dimitar

Hey @Wyorp Rock, Just wanted to give an update on what's happening with my little sick chick. I was planning to deflate the air lump with a needle later today so we could help it heal and breath easier. I think you were right, he was very weak. Can't walk or stand up, just lays down. I've been...

I'm so happy to hear you also successfully treated your chick! Mine is about three days old and he has a leaking air sack on the right of his neck, going past the wing, and behind the neck. I'm sure it isn't the crop because it doesn't get smaller overnight and without the chick eating. I'm...

Thank you, Wyorp Rock! I want to do all I can to save him, don't want to give up on him. If it is a ruptured air sac, could it possibly be treated with a needle to remove the trapped air? I found this thread called Air Sac Rupture Treatment. Do you believe, if done correctly, the process...

Help! One of my newly hatched chicks has wounded hocks and a big soft lump on his neck. He can’t stand, nor walk, just crawles. Hi everyone, My problem I’m completely new to incubating eggs and just had my first 4 chicks hatch a few days ago. Three of them are doing fine; they walk around, eat...
