Sorry if this is the wrong thread but how can I help a chicken with constipation? I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong so I’ll list what I’ve been doing and what’s been happening. So today when I went out to give my chickens some scraps I noticed the pen had multiple golf ball sized poops, I’m used...

Hi very sorry for the delay, she was fine but she’s dead now due to completely separated reasons. I switched the flocks diet and they are acting better than they were. But she’s dead now, she broke her neck. We suspect she might have lost her balance last night and hit the fence as she fell...

Hi and no. I will stop with the corn and feed them crumble and pellet, I was going off of word of mouth from other people around me who have chickens and I had no idea that so much corn was unhealthy for them. I don’t have much experience with chickens so thank you for the advice!

Hey thanks for the reply! Is there any way you could tell me what you use? Like any specific brand or how to keep her on a diet and keep the others satisfied? I think the problem is as you outlined because her and my other hens and roosters are chunky and heavy when I pick them up, do I also put...

Yes, I think. it’s a mix of three, scratch, cracked corn and grit. We give them that mix every morning. They only get corn alone in the evening after scraps. I’ll tone it down on the corn though. One of my other neighbors (not the one who gave the chicks to me) told me and my mom that he gives...

Hi I also have autism and only 2 years with chickens. I’m very sorry if what I asked was offensive. For personality I’m not sure, she tends to be a loner not getting to close to the others or really socializing with them, she’s just kinda off doing her own thing. For health I’m not sure, she’s...

We give them cracked corn and grit in the morning, in the evening they get scraps of whatever we have on hand like lettuce, apples, strawberries, pumpkin, rice, etc. it changes from day to day but they always have vegetables, fruits and some dried worms from the store on occasion. Then we give...

Hi very sorry if this is the wrong discussion board but is it possible for a chicken to have autism? I have a chicken that is acting strange, it wasn’t as noticeable when she was younger but now that she’s gotten to the teenage phase (looks like an adult but is not laying eggs yet) I have...

I forgot to mention that they also have chick start and grain but I didn’t think it was important. I apologize for the misunderstanding.

I see. This has happened before with one other but he died of chocking on his food and I never got to know what was wrong with him. Thank you for the advice, I’ll do it. I should have know as soon as I saw them they wouldn’t last long. Again thank you, not only do I know what to do but I also...

They were all born like it, I tried looking it up but I can’t find anything. And by not walking I mean it’s like they can’t control their legs and not an injury, more mental less physical. And I feed them tomatoes and grapes, mostly grapes because they start to foam at the mouth and gag if I...

Thank you for the advice, I’ll do it. I’ll try my best to raise the others, I hope he’ll be in a better place. I really appreciate the response, thank you.

So my chick has white diarrhea coming out of his vent and I don’t know what to do. He hatched about a week ago and his mother abandoned him because he couldn’t walk along with some others. I looked up what’s happening and I think this is it, he matches the symptoms pretty well and I don’t know...

He died around 9:30. Thank you for all the help, I was just to late to do anything. He was comfortable and warm, thank you.

He’s gasping, he took a drink of the sugar water and now he’s breathing really hard.

The only thing I can really give him is sugar water, I wasn’t planning on raising chicks but their mom abandoned them and I didn’t want them to die. I’m going to give him sugar water and go from there, he was drinking some water before this.

Thank you so much! I’m going to keep him clean and update soon I hope!

I think it’s the vent, it’s coming out in big globs

I’m not actually sure but here’s some pictures, I’m really sorry this is my first

I have three baby chickens they were just hatched yesterday and abandoned by their mom, two of them are fine but one seems more tired than he was this morning. He has yellow liquid coming out of his but and doesn’t move much anymore, I heard it takes a few days to get them to eat but one doesn’t...
