Hi all- new to the forum but not new to raising chickens. I’ve never had such a bad run of luck as I have this past fall/winter.
background- I had 2 golden laced hens about 1-2 yr olds.I wanted to add some birds (previous birds were lost to predators) so I got 4 Easter egger chicks. They had...
Hi guys! I’m not sure if this is where i should be posting this, but better somewhere than nowhere lol.
Ok so let me set this up real quick before I get into the questions. So I recently was given ownership of 12 chickens, including one rooster. I already have 5 hens of my own. Right now, the...
My flock that i hatched 6 months ago has started to show signs if bronchitis , but the symptoms are still mild (occasional sneezing and a few have diarrhea).I have a hen who survived it years ago and did not know that they can be carrierers even after their symptoms have passed.She has been...
Hi,
I have 30 assorted breeds in a 30'x30' free range enclosure. They have all stopped laying going on 2 weeks now. Odd odour in coup, some yellow/mustard poop, loosing feathers but still eating and drinking. DE earth in food and fresh dirt bath. Help please!
Help! I'm about at my wit's end. Several months ago I went out to the coop and found my 1 year old barred rock hen acting sick. She was having trouble standing up, watery bright green poop, pale comb and wattles, and just generally lethargic. I did some searching on here and immediately...
Good morning.
I have a serious question, that if anyone could help me out with, it would be greatly appreciated.
So, about last week, my 1 year old ISA Brown hen was on the roost, when I was doing chores. I heard a weird snoring sound, and tracked it down to her. then, I noticed that one of her...
Hi everyone,
I have 10 chickens of varying ages between 3 months-2 years. They are all currently sick with a respiratory illness. It started 3 days ago. Some hens are worse off than others. Symptoms are sneezing, coughing, wheezing, gurgling in chest but NO nasal discharge, eye issues...
Last night my husband & I noticed that one of our birds was breathing noisily. This morning a number of my girls are coughing & sneezing but otherwise are doing fine. I'm more concerned about my Delaware who is also lethargic & not interested in treats. Help!
Sunday I saw the first bloody stool in my indoor brooder. I immediately started using Corid in the water.
Backing up a bit. My chicks have been relatively healthy in my opinion. All eating, drinking well, playing, scratching. I've kept them indoors, until about 3 weeks of age. When they...
got up the morning to check on our 3 almost 4 week old chicks, one had passed. I see no obvious reason for it, vent was clean, we had vaxxed against coicoidosis, no diarrhea, no respiratory problems noted, just died it seems. She was sprawled out underneath the heat lamp. Temp is at about...
OK so here goes I pray someone here can offer real help.*is there a place to share a pic to show the baby*
I have a 2week old baby cocian whom I am starting to think I shouldn't have saved. I must preface this by saying her mummy and nest was invaded by an Opossum and there was much loss...
My girls lost their feathers on their backside belly area. I originally had flakes in their coop then went to straw and now back to flakes. I keep the coop clean. I bought a "protector" spray that is supposed to help with any mites or bugs and spray the area as directed on the bottle. Please see...
Hello,
This is our first time having hatched ducklings and it came as a complete surprise to us (usually the eggs never hatch). They just hatched the other day (July 9th) and most are healthy except for one little guy who can't walk or even stand up. I found him abandoned by his mom laying in...
i have lost 3 chickens over the last 6 weeks. One every 2 weeks. Now I have another sick chicken. I did not observe any symptoms in the other 3. This one , a Delaware, has had diarrhea, is lethargic and has stiff legs - especially the left leg. As of this morning her poop is firm but has some...
