    Turkey Healing from mites now lethargic

    I have a flock of turkeys, 2 brothers are the Tom’s, 1 of them had a severe mite infestation, no one else had mites but I treated everyone. My problem Tom has been mite free for 2 weeks now but he is just becoming more and more lethargic. I see zero wounds, none of the other turkeys show any...

    I have no idea what is going on. Do you?

    I have Olive, an easter egger, that I thought only had a case of bumblefoot. She started limping about a week ago, I started treatment: epsom salt baths, purid, foot wrapping. Then about 3 days in, she started to lay down a lot and then started isolating herself. When I picked her up, she...

    Help! Open mouth breathing, eating less, laying down alot

    We have lost 4 birds in the last 2 months. We just noticed another this morning taking these big breaths between eating. She is the first I noticed a sneeze from but no discharge or anything that signifies respiratory for sure. None of the others sneezed, so it may not be related. There aren’t a...

    Ok, so I said that my next post would be introducing my flock, and I got so many positive responses so I’m really excited to get around to that, but unfortunately it’s been delayed a while and in the meantime I have a hen that needs help… I am hoping that someone on here will have some idea...

    Help! Sick chicken since August! Keeps laying down, losing weight, not laying, lethargic

    A little backstory: I have a Lavender Orpington hen that was born June 2019. She was vaccinated for Mereks by the hatchery before being shipped. On September 2020 she was attacked by a wild animal and survived bites on her back and neck. With a lot of TLC, she was better and acting normal with...

    Sick?

    My rooster has arthritis. He is on rimadyl and on tetrasol for respiratory issues as well. Lately he has been hardly eating and will drink. His poop is like yellow green and white, sometimes brown. He is laying down constantly, hunched up and falls asleep. His crop seems to be emptying in the...

    Young Cock Can't Walk Normal

    I have a young salmon faverolle cockerel who is not walking right. He seems to be able to take only tiny steps and loses his balance easily; sometimes he spins in circles. Most of the time he gets to where he's going (food, water, his buddies) and then lay down. I have checked him well for...

    Ameraucana Molting

    I have a sweet Ameraucana that was given to me last year. Over the past week-which has been hot-she has begun to lose feathers so I just assumed she’s molting. But she’s been hanging out by herself a lot in the yard and in the hen house. When she does come when I call, she’s lagging behind and...

    Limping chicken

    One of my chickens appears to have a bit of a limp and seems to be resting more. She even let me catch her and pick her up easily which she usually doesn’t really do so I’m a little bit worried. I just noticed it when I let them out to free range a couple hours ago. At first she seemed fine...

    Sickly Chicken

    So my darling Henny (Easter Egger) has been acting quite strange the past couple of days. She hasn't be grazing like the others and she has been laying down most of the day in one spot. I go to pick her up and she pretty much allows me without any restraint. She used to go running around with...

    Recovery after hen has been egg bound

    Hi! I’m new to the group. My family and I bought 4 baby chicks 6 months ago and we have just fallen in love with them. Our one hen Chickaletta is very sick. I’m pretty sure she was egg bound. I looked up similar issues and how to resolve them in this site and they truly helped. I gave her an...

    Is This Normal?!

    My chickens lay down during the day sometimes, for maybe a half hour, more on some days, less on others. Sometimes in the bushes in the shade, they do that on hot days, but sometimes they will just lay down on the grass. I should clarify: by lay down, I mean they sit in the grass in the same...

    Is this normal? Chickens laying on the ground all day?

    I have 4 Americanas that are about 10 weeks old. They've been out side for about a week now. We waited to put them outside due to weather. During this time the chicks started hopping out of the brooder and roosting on the tools that are in the room. We put a wire lid on top of the brooder to...

    Probiotic Substitute - Sick chicken

    Short Question: I have a sick chicken who saw a vet today who told me to get probiotics. Our local feed store was out and won't get any for another 4-5days. Is there any brand/type I can get at Walmart or elsewhere (that may even be for humans) that someone can recommend? Also read maybe Greek...

    Hen not laying for a month, has dirty bottom and now limping.

    We have a one year old New Hampshire Red who stopped laying about a month ago. We then noticed she had a poopy bottom, so we gave her an epsom salt bath and cleaned her bottom. We also gave her some yogurt and we put apple cider vinegar in the chickens waterer. But then today, about a week after...
