Hi, everyone!
To start this, I have Mereck's in my flock. From my reading this makes them a little more likely to succumb to other diseases, since it never really goes away. Since the confirming necropsy, all new chicks have come vaccinated, but this hen isn't. Their regular yard is about ten...
I have a lethargic chick that has been lying around since yesterday after I helped it hatch. It had a case of splayed legs and I've already done something yesterday to straighten out its legs. It hasn't eaten/drink anything yet, it just pooped and it is watery but looks suspicious. I've attached...
Hello again! I noticed my rooster mouth breathing was back (no wheezing and gurgle sound). It started when the weather became hot and humid again and when I fed him sweet corn. At first, he has droppings were not digested well. Now, he has diarrhea and this is how it looks. Even his cecal...
Hi. This is my first encounter with a respiratory issue (but I've only had chickens for about 3 years). I've searched on the forums for info, and its all a little overwhelming. I have a 3 yo chicken who makes gurgle sounds when breathing. No mucus/bubbles from nostrils/eyes, no head shaking...
I’ve been trying for a while to get to the bottom of my hen’s health issue(s). I’m baffled.
Symptoms in Buff Orpington hen (rescue, roughly 4-5 yrs old):
Watery poop with white streaks or dark green mass (new symptom, past few days)
Worms or worm-like matter in some of the watery poop (new...
My Brahma that I just cleaned off yesterday is not well. She had caked on poop, and now feathers are trimmed. Her poop is watery, and now some reddish pink staining, urate threads. She isn't interested in eating. Has drank water. I have her inside. She is lethargic, separated herself from...
Hello all!
This morning I went to the coop to let the girls out, and my normally peppy, clingy EE was seeming "off". She was slow to the feeder, and wasn't attached to my hip like normal. She did show interest in breakfast, but after just went and sat quietly under a tree by herself. Noticing...
Hi, I have a buff orpington hen and she is just turned four years old. Over the past month or so, my chicken will not eat as much as usual, and sits away from the rest of my chickens on occasion. At first I thought she had an impacted crop, and I have massaged her crop and shes thrown up water a...
Hi everyone,
We have a hen (Gertie) that is drinking excessively and spilling from her crop. She won't stop drinking water. I'm stumped. If anyone has experience, thoughts, or ideas on what path I should investigate I'd really appreciate it. Details and photos below. Thank you so much in...
My black chick ( 4 weeks old ) is having watery poop. The strange thing is that she poops normally and watery. The watery poops happen every few days or so. Also whenever she has the watery poops she has some chunks of food in the poop. Nothing to mind blowing or serious but you can tell its...
Hello, i need some help with a chicken in a particular situation.
I have a common layer hen that i found months ago, she appeared on my porch, was underweight, had a scar on her stomach and an infection in her oviduct which she was treated for until she stopped laying lash eggs and started...
Hello - hoping to get some advice.
I have a 1.5 year old Easter Egger who has had a swollen abdomen since Saturday (at least that's when I discovered it). I immediately knew something was up, as she didn't exit the run with the other chickens that morning. She is my most skittish chicken and...
Hi everyone, I know this will have been covered in a thread already but I’m a bit desperate. Our favourite little ex battery hen is sick. She has always been the scrawniest since we adopted her three months ago and her feathers still haven’t grown back but she is usually very strong, fiesty and...
My 2 barred rocks have had messy rear ends for a while and I've tried treating them for worms using garlic in their water. It hasn't helped and today one of them had a yellowish foamy stool and another a watery stool(images of the hens and the stools below. Any treatment ideas?
They both eat...
Hi !
One of my female quails has stopped laying for a week and she seems lethargic.
Today she keeps pooping watery droppings. They are so liquid like almost water.
Some of them are yellowish and a little bit slimy and some of them has long lines that i assume intestinal linings.
I don't see...
Hello, I came here to ask for advice. We rescued a baby chick, it's now 2 weeks old. It was thriving until 2 days ago. It suddenly didn't seen to have nearly as much energy as before. It doesn't eat as much anymore, but it does drink a lot of water. The droppings are very watery. I was...
She’s a 22 week old Easter egger. She hadn’t laid yet and is eating, drinking, running, flying, just being her normal self. I’m not entirely sure if all her poops have been like this, but I have seen some “stains” on the top of the coop that look similar. (She is currently in the shed with her...
First off, thank you to everyone who read my posts about my previous health scares. Alfredo is now up and at ‘em again and even back to laying!
This is Curry. Last dewormed with SafeGuard in the beginning of September. On October 20th I found her laying down out in the yard (not in a horrible...
Born June 19.
Born from eggs dipped in Tylan. No known exposure to other birds. In a newly build pen, has not free ranged. Feeding grower pellets.
Went to feed the babies and this little cockerel seems off so I isolated him. Next day I have a polish pullet acting the same.
Puffy, droopy...
In the last 2 days our ex-battery hen has been lethargic, her behaviour has changed (she usually comes to the coop door when I let her out and follows me round the garden but she has not moved much), she is not as alert and her poo has been watery and white.
She hasn't been eating and her crop...
