Hello! I am hoping to get some guidance as I just had another chicken die. I took over my mom's flock almost a year ago. Three weeks ago one of the 4 year old chickens died. She looked exhausted and was lethargic. I thought she was broody as she didn't show any signs of being ill. She died and I...

Have you ever had a flock with a respiratory disease that was incurable?
If so, did you keep or cull the birds?
The reason I ask is because mine might but I'm curious about others. I've been worried about this all day and am going to have mine checked.
Hello All -
I have two chickens, one a RIR one a silkie/orpington mix (I think). Both are around 3 yrs old, both have lived happy, healthy lives. Until the past couple of weeks.
The RIR sounds like she has laryngitis. She eats and drinks well, tho her poo is a bit runny. Otherwise acting...
I have one hen who has been having the "sniffles" for a couple months now. I noticed that she has been breathing through her mouth and I hear her sneezing occasionally. I have noticed no nasal discharge and no change in behavior. She is the only bird out of my flock showing any symptoms. I would...
Hi! I have three brahma hens named Ginger, Cherry and Potato. First they all take drastically long breaks between their egg laying. Once they took a nine month long break! But Potato had started sounding weird yesterday. Her voice sounded hoarse, high and quiet. Her breathing got louder and I...
We have had our self blue Duccles for about a year. Last month we noticed one that was behaving abnormally. She tucked her head low between her shoulders, didn't eat as much as normal. Within a day or so she would stretch out her neck and open her mouth to gasp for air. We brought her in the...
Hello wonderful fellow chicken people! This is my first time posting on this forum, and I need your help! I have used BYC many a time to learn about chicken health and disease. I have had chickens since I was 5 years old and I remember my mom learning about gape worm from BYC when one of our...

Ok, so I have a small assorted flock of 10 pet hens and 1 rooster. the suspect bird is a 3yr old white rock. I know she came from a questionable home. I got her when she was approx 1 yr old. Occasionally over the past two years (maybe two or three times a year) she gets "under the weather"...

Today I had a hen that was kinda coughing and she died in my arms. I just got 10 new babies from another lady that sells chickens last week. I suppose maybe the respiratory issue came from there. My Flock is almost a year old and never had an issue. After crying and began reading and calling...

just wondering if anyone has any experience with an antibiotic called ilium Sulprim?
It was prescribed for a sick layer, with quite advanced respiratory illness. However, on the lable it clearly states "Do not use on birds producing eggs for human consumption". But on another section it states...
