Hopefully someone can help me out here!
I have a two year old chicken who has always had a very large comb. It stays flopped to the side for the most part. I noticed her comb swollen some a couple weeks ago and just kept an eye on it. There was no change. But today she is standing next to her...
Hello,
Did some searching but wasn’t able to find these symptoms, and truly want to make sure I’m doing the right thing here for the bird in question and my flock.
I have a 6 week old appenzeller spitzhauben (not sure yet on sex, SR from greenfire), has been healthy until about 1 week ago...
Hello!
I have a buff orpington who is presenting with drooping wings and tail, fatigue, weakness while walking, loss of appetite and thirst, and occasional panting. She has no egg stuck inside her. She has no mucus or eye discharge. She isn't coughing or sneezing. She doesn't have sour crop. She...
Hi!
I have a hen that always has droopy tail. At first, I thought she was sick, but it's been 2 months already and she's acting normal. I did notice she was pecked (or she pecked herself?) the base of her tail to blood a month ago, but nothing concerning and it healed well by its own. I decided...
Hi everyone, inexperienced keeper here in need of a little advice. My pullet Catnip seems to have developed a swollen eyelid, which I noticed yesterday. I have not noticed other symptoms in her yet (I saw her sneeze once yesterday?), she is eating, drinking, and seems herself. The first 3 images...
My patty is 3 weeks old.
1. She has a twisted beak.
2. One Eye.
3. Her head is constantly spinning and so does she, so I’m pretty sure she has wry neck.
4. Her crop balloons up when she eats and when it’s full she chirps in a panic.
So far:
1. I ground all of her food up in the coffee...
Hi everyone! I could use some help. Our 6 year old Blue Cochin hen has had a droopy eye for over a month now. It’s the right eye only. She is from a hatchery so she is very old considering most hatchery hens don’t make it to 10. She 1/2 of our last hens from our very first batch. Other than the...
Came home this evening to one of our peahens with her wing feathers down and makes it look as if her butt is higher than her shoulders. They were just wormed with Ivermectin the beginning of December. I do not hear or see any abnormal breathing, wheezing, or sniffling. Any suggestions, this...
Hello, I'm new here, so apologies if I miss anything out.
One of my hens is struggling. Last Thursday, I noticed her wobbling a lot, as if her legs were weak. Gave her a thorough inspection, found no wounds or anything. On Saturday the vet saw her, and also found no obvious cause.
(This is in...
It may be too late, as she's worsened, but my 4 year old Black Australorp started fluffing up about a week ago. I've treated her for a vitamin deficiency before, but as the week progressed she started not moving around as much and now she can't stand.
Her poop is normal, her crop feels empty...
I put my chicks outside today, and I fell asleep once I finished. When I woke up, it was raining. I ran and grabbed my chicks and brought them inside, letting them dry under a hair dryer and giving them food. One of the chicks doesn’t seem to feel well and her wings are drooping and her eyes are...
Hi everyone,
We have a copper maran rooster about a year old. This morning, we noticed he wouldn't leave the coop to eat, and was roosting by himself with his head drooped. We put him in a box with food and water but he is barely responsive, head dropping, eyes closed. When we pick him up, his...
Hello! Back again in my usual forum section :barnie
I've got a Favorelle x ISA brown cockerel who hatched April 4th.
He was the biggest chick, and definitely most fluffy.
Sadly that was short lived as he's now the smallest chick. He's bullied by his other cockeral and pullet flockmates...
One of my hens has a droopy comb with scab like marks on it that have been there as long as I have had her. I received this chicken along with my two other laying hens on 12/22/17. She shows no signs of discomfort and acts/seems very healthy! In Fact she is the more dominant bird of the three...
Hi everyone,
I think my hen has a sour crop? Her crop is squishy this morning and for the last couple days she has been breathing with her mouth open.
What should I do to treat her?
I stopped feeding her solid food and have only given her plain yogurt. She doesn't seem like she's been eating...
I don't have pictures, but I did see one in action so I'll do my best to explain symptoms.
My BFF bought 25 California whites from a local "breeder". Fairly recently they have been dropping like flies.
The first symptom is a droopy tail. Most of the birds have upright tails, but the ones who...
I have a variety of chicks that are about 1.5 months old. All are fully feathered out. We had them in a chick barn with plenty of space (or so we thought) and ventilation. Even had a fan running to help circulate the air.
We moved them out to a larger outdoor pen with plenty of cover-shade- (we...
I have a sick chicken. She is one of my favorites and I'm beside myself. She was fine yesterday. Today when I came home from work, I couldn't find her and she always greets me when I get home. (They free range in a fenced yard during the day and are locked up at night). After looking and looking...
