    Distressed/sick chick

    I am afraid one of my chicks is not doing well. Yesterday, my friend who has peacocks for 30 years, lost one of her chicks. These were 7 from an experienced breeder. I have noticed one of mine, who has been very subdued from the go, not being out with the others. Today, he has only wanted to...

    Sick Chick

    One of my thirty 8 week old chicks has diarrhea and has for the past 5-6weeks. I started giving it electrolytes as soon as I noticed it was sick but it hasn’t improved. It doesn’t seem to be lethargic and eats and drinks regularly as far as I can tell. Any diagnosis or suggested treatment...

    SOS SICK 14 WEEK OLD CHICKEN

    I walked out to the coop to see one of my cream leg bars just nestled up on the coop floor. They like to do that sometimes so I didn’t think much of it until she didn’t get up when I came next to her and touched her. I tried to get her to stand and she was weak and wobbly. She just seems SO...

    Gender? Breed? (assorted turkey). Not a meat bird.

    Hi there! First time posting. He is looking rough I know. I have no experience with chickens or turkeys but here's my story. I went to Cal ranch and saw a bird at the bottom of the cage getting stepped on and look like he was going to die. I asked if they could take him out and separate him...

    Help! 6-week old quail vomiting clear liquid, ruffles feathers often, rests while standing/wings slightly dropped instead of lying down.

    Seeking help with one of my quail! The past few days I have noticed sometimes it will start excessively chirping and then spits up clear liquid. Then it goes back to normal, more or less. It seems to be eating and drinking regularly, and poop has looked normal too (until the most recent one I...

    Coccidiosis??

    So I have some baby chicks who all of a sudden started getting weak and dying within days. It started with my kikiriki chick who had messy feathers, stood under the heat lamp with its head down a lot of the time and now my two silkie chicks are doing it too along with a silkie mix. They all seem...

    1 sick hen out of 15

    This hen started acting strange about a week ago not very active and just sitting in the nesting box. She has pretty bad diarrhea. Not eating or drinking that I’ve noticed. I gave her nutri-drench orally several times but it hasn’t seemed to help. Any advice is appreciated. I have quarantined...

    Hen lays THREE eggs in one day?!?! Help!

    This has happened twice. I went out at the end of the day to lock the girls up, and my hen, Orla, who is 20 weeks old and started laying at 18 weeks, was all hunched up and not feeling well. I touched her crop and it's super full, and you can tell she is in pain. Last night while I was holding...

    Sick baby chick?

    So one of our hens hatched chicks and she has 7, while cleaning her pen, I noticed one of the chicks had very ruffled feathers, just stood there, and chirped a lot. I brought it over to the brooder with the other chicks. It does eat a little but I'm concerned for how it looks overall. It’s a...

    E. Coli Infection in Trachea and Capallaria Parasites - Please advise

    Hello all - A little over a month ago I made the very regretful mistake of introducing 7 new pullets (age 12 weeks) to my original flock of 10 (age 2 years) without giving them a proper "quarantine period." Horrific, unfortunate, lesson learned. I had them all in the same run, although I had...

    Is it possible for a chicken to forget how to eat?

    Been treating a hen for about 4 months. First she had what I thought was fowlpox, then she became lame, so I treated for vitamin deficiency. Along that time she just stopped eating. She does drink. So I’ve been torpedo feeding her. I took her to a vet, who gave her antibiotics she then developed...

She has a very difficult time eating and the only time she drinks is when I drop water next to her beak I usually have to open her beak...

    Case of Coccidia

    🤦🏻‍♀️ I picked up some new chicks from a farm about a month ago, so they are 4-5 weeks old. I feel bad for not putting them on medicated feed. Because I’ve never had a problem before but I have learned my lesson and I feel absolutely TERRIBLE now. I found bloodly stools in the brooder this...

    Is this Sour Crop? Please help!

    Something’s wrong with my (6yo) Orpington chicken. The past few days she’s been making these jerking neck movements a lot, making me think something’s wrong with her crop. Recently she spat up some clear liquid and 2 days ago she didn’t want to eat the food I offered, though I eventually got her...
