    Severe Bumblefoot Possible Infection

    I've just been posting lately about Mycoplasma and issues related to that, so of course I found out a bit ago that many of my ladies have bumblefoot. (The reasons are environmental and I'm working to rectify them but it's pretty costly so it won't be easy. Got one of them down but there are two...

    Hen acting strange

    Hi everyone! This morning I came out to take care of the girls and let them out and I noticed Rose acting funny. She didn’t want to leave the run to free range and once I coaxed her out she just lays down. She seems not as active as she usually is and lately we’ve been battling soft shelled eggs...

    Chicken vomiting yellow liquid

    Hi. My chicken is a 4 month old Colombian rock cross. She was fine yesterday but today I found her hiding and lethargic. In this kind of a scenario I would assume is coccidious and treat with Corid. However when I picked her up, I accidentally tipped her and yellow drool dribbled out. That made...

    How good is good enough to put my chicken with heatstroke somewhat outside?

    I had a chicken with heatstroke a few days ago and she’s been residing in my room so I can keep a close eye on her. I also don’t have a dog crate to put her in… I pick up any droppings and disinfect the area daily, have an air purifier, and keep it well ventilated. Though, I will be away for...

    Sick Chicken with tail down, lethargy!

    So about yesterday afternoon, I noticed my big hen, Burrito was looking lethargic, sitting in the coop. For reference, she is a 4 year old Buff Orphington. I was immediately alarmed as this is of course odd during midday. Later on the chickens got let out to free range and I had to pull her out...

    Is my hen sick or injured?

    I have a hen that is exhibiting some odd behavior. She used to be one of my most active and busy hens, but now, all she does is lay around. When she gets up, she kind of stumbles a bit and her wings go out— when she walks, she’s a little slow and almost waddles kind of wide-legged. Any ideas...

    Sick chicken

    My hen is gurgling when she breaths. Which I would assume is some sort of respitory infection. It just started last night. She's worse today and now she has her bum hanging down. I put honey and apple cider vinegar in her water and red pepper flakes and oregano in her food, but I don't think...
