My previous post.
Yesterday marked the 7th day of treating with the powdered METRONIDAZOLE as that was what I was able to get a hold of w/o a vet rx and quickly. She's made some improvement (cheese substance under tongue is minimal to none and she's gained over 100 grams).
But she is still...
We have a really old rooster of about 9 to 10 years of age. Yesterday afternoon we noticed his right cheek had become swollen, and he had mucus or other discharge on his beak. At the time someone suggested he may have just been stung by something and he would recover, but it's been over 24 hours...
I recently purchased 5 ISA Browns from a nearby farm intending to integrate them into my existing flock of 18 birds, but after handling them, I’ve noticed a respiratory issue.
One of the five hens has a crackling sound when breathing (rales?) and occasional mucus from her beak but otherwise...
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...
Hi. About a week and a half ago my hen got attacked by a racoon. I managed to save her from him even though he had her in his mouth. She had a head injury and a twisted jaw. Her eyes were swollen shut. I brought her back from the dead pretty much by cleaning her every day and nursing her wounds...
We are very new to backyard chickens but so far have successfully raised 8 newborn chicks to be an 8 week old happy healthy flock! One turned out to be a rooster, so about a week ago we gave him back to the farm we got them from, and they were kind enough to trade us a hen who they estimated to...
My 1-year-old Silkie Hen has had a swollen face the past few days. I just thought the mosquitos had gotten her, but I noticed today that she has thick white mucus in one of her eyes. And ideas as to what this could be? Should I separate her? Is it serious?
So my duck has only just came out of his egg and it’s only halfway out but it is drooling a thick mucus type fluid and I’m not quite sure what it is. it literally looks like snot but my duckling isn’t fully hatched yet what should I do and what is this????
my 2 full grown duck both had this thick mucus stuff in there beaks yesterday. i gave them water and they cleaned it out but the mucus came back. this morning all the mucus was gone and i haven’t seen any in there beaks today. i am worried that it might be avain cholera, this is what one of...
Hi, I have a ten year old barred rock hen named combs. It has been months since the last time she layed, and the last time she became egg bound. Yesterday she spent most of her morning in the egg box but seemed fine and left without laying. When I went to feed the chickens dinner I found her in...
Hello,
About a week ago my blind roo was acting a little weird after drinking. I thought something was wrong with his crop, so I massaged it. A short while after shaking his head a little glob of goo flew out of his mouth (picture attached, it landed on my shirt 🙄).
2 days ago I noticed that...
My hen, 1.5 year old named Meenu, is sick. She was totally fine a couple of days ago. Suddenly, she started having swollen sinuses, which got normal on their own. But her flu like situation stayed. Took her to vet yesterday who gave her Enrofloxacin. But before I could start it, she became...
Hi!
today I noticed one of my Silkie’s bum area looked a little off. Sometimes with my Silkies when they poop it leaves little residue on the very tip of the fuzzy bum hair (assuming that’s it’s because of all that hair and it doesn't just plop straight down?) but hers had a white mucus coming...
The past week-2weeks one of my chickens has been sneezing on and off.
Now I can hear she has a bit of mucus in her nostrils, because one time I barely (underline barely) heard her breathing with a tiny bit of mucus.
So, I was wondering about how to flush out this mucus? She is still laying...
Opened the coop this morning and 26 of my 27 four week old littles came pouring out. One however was in a corner, head down eyes closed, breathing heavily. Immediately she was social distanced into the insulated brooder next to the woodstove. Picking her up I noticed her crop was still half full...
Hi, my gold laced orpington started laying two days ago. The problem started well before that but that’s just an age perspective. The last week or so she has been opening her mouth a lot like she’s chocking on something and trying to get it out. I’ve looked in her beak and there is nothing stuck...
Hi All,
My dear Ellie girl has had a tough go at it the last 10 months. I just found her yesterday afternoon with her leg caught on some chicken wire near the coop and she was stuck hanging upside down. I don’t know how long she was hanging like that for, she was out of the coop in the morning...
Hey ya'll! I have a sick Holland Lop doe. She is on the older side, 5 or 6 years old, she has had 10+ litters for me. Anyways, several weeks ago I noticed she was sniffling, but thinking it was just a minor case of sniffles I did not give her anything. However, these past few days she has gotten...
Too long didnt read at bottom.
Can someone please please help ASAP! I have a little chick here who is almost a week old. Shes been having issues for the past 3 days. Shes not eating or drinking, shes panting/ breathing heavily and shes really weak and lethargic. She seems to have a fair bit of...
My little silkie rooster hasn't been doing well. He has had what I call "Bubbly eye" for the past couple days. He's been limping for about the same amount of time. Today he can barely stand and is having a hard time breathing. I was giving him some Terramycin for his eye when I noticed this...
