    Passed Away* Lethargic hen sleeping not wanting to move

    So about 5pm I found out WhiteBand(name) Black Australorp sleeping in the corner. It took me nearly shaking her a tapping on her to get her to wake up. I even moved her and she didn't put up a fight. I honestly thought she was dead for a moment. Since then, I did give a calcium d+ vitamin. And...

    Hen not acting herself and being lethargic.

    One of my older hens (Momo) I realized has been acting strange. She's not making any noise, and that's quite unusual because she's usually very talkative, and she's acting super mellow. Kind of just stands there and doesn't really forage. Could it be the weather? She looks fine otherwise. I just...

    Slightly flipped comb and lethargy

    Hi there! I noticed today that one of my 2 and a half year old hens, Rhody, is acting slightly lethargic today. Upon looking closer I noticed that her comb has a very small flop to it that didn’t used to be there, and it’s tips at the back are slightly darker/more discoloured than normal. Also...

    Lethargic chicken doesn't move and always panicky.

    I've had a hen named Matteo for a while now, and she used to be really friendly, and very pretty. But after a cat attacked my flock and killed one of my roosters, she was still okay, but always ran away from me like I was a predator. I thought it was unusual, considering I was the one who spent...

    Lethargic hen, white and green poop (picture warning)

    My poor hen big mama has not been herself since yesterday. Yesterday she was sitting sort of randomly in the middle of the yard, but I didn’t assume anything seeing as it’s been around 97 degrees here everyday, and she is 7 years old so I thought possibly she was just really hot (she has full...

    Lethargic hen with watery diarrhea. Won’t walk

    I have a one year old Silver laced Wyandotte that won’t walk more than 3 steps. Lethargic and has dark green watery poop. She will eat and drink a little when I put it in front of her. I have no idea what this is and if I should be treating the other 11 in the flock.

    Is my Beatrix constipated or something else ...?

    Hello lovely chicken friends! My EE, Beatrix, has been a bit off the past few days. Here’s the story: 1.) Found her in the nesting box Friday evening (not like her to be in there). I sensed something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint it. She has laid soft eggs in the past, and my RIR, Eloise...

    Hi, everyone! I have a 1 year old black silver laced Wyandotte who has been acting off for a few days. The flock free ranges, but this weekend I noticed she wasn't coming out of the coop with the others. She was staying on the roost most of the day with her feathers puffed out and her neck...

    PLEASE HELP!! I can't tell what's wrong

    Hi, one of my chickens (3yr old red sex link), Bertha, is not doing well at all.

    Hello friends - I need advice! Our poor Andalusian Blue hen (Colette) did not come out of the coop today, is very lethargic, and most alarming, her usually bright red comb is very pale. She let me hold her for a long while and kept closing her eyes (unusual). She is not interested in food...
