    Chick with discharge from vent acting lethargic

    Hello I have never had chickens before so my knowledge is VERY limited and I think I need help. I just acquired 8 baby blue laced red Wyandotte’s on the 21st. They are about a week old. The first couple days I had some troubles with pasty butt. I monitored them round the clock and rinsed butts...

    My chick has an air bubble please help!

    My chick that has a repository disease now also has a giant air bubble. I am so confused on what to do! I think I might lose her but not unless I have something to say about it! Is there anything I can do? (I will get pictures as soon as possible) she might even be lethargic, but I'm not sure.

    Lethargic smooshy please help

    Hi my chicken (smooshy) is not looking so good. She is standing hunched over and not moving much, I got her sugar water and some food and she ate a lot but didn’t drink much so I added the food to the sugar water and she liked that. She is a pullet and a little stunted in her growth, so she...

    Worried about week and a half old chick

    I just got 6 chicks that are a week to week and a half. One of my D'uccle chicks, oldest of my chicks, is more lethargic than the others and does not seem to peep. She does eat and drink. Her breathing seems a little heavy to me. Not gasping for air or anything. This morning 5 of the chicks were...

    8 week old chick eye closed,lethargic

    Dear fellow chicken-lovers and experts, You know how a chicken has two eyelids; a translucent lid and then the thicker opaque lid? My 8 week old BCM gal has been slowing down and "napping" in the midst of activity and I noticed yesterday that one eye has been completely closed. Today I picked...

    Two day old chick w/ yolk sac attached

    So, I have a baby chick who was born two days ago and since she doesn't seem like she's been well at all. I just discovered today her yolk sac is still attached and it seemed to make sense as to why she's been acting slow. For the past couple of days her eyes are for the majority of the time...

    Lethargic, (Dehydrated...?) d’Uccle! Please Help!

    My pride and joy, my beautiful Dutchy (a Mille Fleur Belgian D’uccle) has suddenly become very lethargic. She kind of just sits there, mostly sleeping, not caring if the other chicks bump her... I don’t know exactly what’s wrong, but I have some ideas... 1. We just replaced their old little...

    Super lethargic chicks

    I posted another post about my new chicks today, but in case you haven’t seen it, quick recap: I got some silkie chicks in the mail that were extremely stressed out and one passed away. The other two are extremely lethargic and aren’t eating or drinking on their own, just sleeping. They’re awake...

    3 weeks chick-lethargic

    I have a 3-4 week old chick who has become more and more lethargic the last few days. She will rouse when you bring to food or water and occasionally when you enter the room but lays right back down after a bite or sip. Her abdomin seems swollen but I’m new to this so I could be wrong about...

    Neurological issue in 4 week old chick?

    Hi everyone! We have 12 chicks that are about 4 weeks old. We hatched them ourselves and purchased the eggs from reputable local breeders. All are doing really well - happy and healthy except for one. About 10 days ago we found her huddled under the heat lamp with eyes closed and feathers...

    Lethargic bird...trying to determine what’s wrong

    My wife and I are new to chickens. Our flock is doing great, except our Plymouth Rock. She’s definitely not growing like the other chickens. We do see her eat and drink a bunch and her feces/urine is normal. She just doesn’t move a lot. It looks as if she is constantly falling asleep. While the...

    Chick 4wks old SICK/slowly dying HELP!

    I'm a first timer raising chicks. I bought 3 Rhode Island Reds from my local feed store 3 weeks ago. A few days after I bought the 3, I went back and got one more (different breed, it's black, IDK what it is) from the same feed store. About 4 days ago I noticed one of the Reds was acting...
