    My poor little lady Honey disappeared about 3 days ago, and we thought she had died. My other chicken, Pumpkin, had been with her, and she was in the small patch of trees behind our house, screaming for help. I ran up there to help, and she came out of the trees clearly upset about something...

    Gapeworm, Aspergillus, or something else?

    Hello, I have a 3.5 year old Buff Orpington hen (one of five) that has been panting and heaving for the past several weeks. I, at first, thought it was the heat, but she's doing it since it's cooled down, too. She molted just fine, as they're all finishing molting. They've all quit laying for...

    Is this gapeworm?

    Hi there, Over the past couple of weeks I've noticed a few of my chickens stretching their neck out as though gasping for air. Initially I thought nothing of it as I read that it can often be just rearranging the crop after eating and I'd always noticed it after they'd eaten. Then tonight while...

    Showing signs of Gapeworm

    Hi, I had two chickens until yesterday. Now I have one and I'm beyond desperate to resolve this. My birds have been sick for two years now with respiratory issues. I have had the vet out on multiple occasions. I had suggested Gapeworm at one point and he said it wasn't (without testing, just...

    Confused what type of respiratory illness my rooster has

    I kept on reading about respiratory illness what's the symptoms and the treatment. But the more I read about them, the more I get confuse. I don't know which one is the proper and effective treatment I'll give to my rooster. As of now, I'm giving coryza treatment by giving medicated water...

I have a red sex link pullet (she's about ten months old now) who we got at eight weeks old, and has had a pendulous crop since we got her. It's also important to note that she's always seemed a little...
