My golden comet chicken, almost 5 months old, was suddenly very lethargic this morning. She didnt run out of the coop with the rest of the birds, and just stayed on her roosting bar. She doesnt usually let me touch her, but shes letting me pick her up and inspect her without complaint now.
Her...
Hello!
Most of my chickens will occasionally have foamy yellow poop that I believe is their cecal poops. Is this normal? They have normal poops as well and act normal. I don’t know how long they’ve had these poops, but it’s been long enough for me to not remember. They were treated with corid...
We got chickens in the beginning of March so I'd say they are almost 4 months old and this morning letting them out I noticed one pooped and it looked like this? I'm guessing this isn't good? If not what can I give it to treat it before anything happens to my knowledge it's eating and drinking...
I want to know what's causing this. I've now had 2 hens die in 5 months. They are my loving pets and it kills me that I don't even know what did them in. I also want to know so I can help if it happens again.
I got these hens at beginning of 2021. With both of them it started with yellow poop...
My 2 1/2 month old turkey started to have runny yellow poop three days ago and acting sick. She wasn’t running around with the other turkeys or eating and drinking much. She was acting normal after I gave her a supplement on the day it started. After being fine yesterday her symptoms started...
So my turkey had yellow/sulfur looking poo (not diarrhea) and droopy wings and one leg was either broken or affected by illness or something. This all happened very quickly not over time. Was a BEAUTIFUL young healthy girl. We loved her so much. Whatever it was did not kill her. Our neighbors...
Hello! I need help. My chicken has been distancing herself from my flock for a few days and then I watched her poop what looked like egg yolk with a fleshy mass in it. I’ve isolated her for a few days since then. She has eaten a very small amount and has drank very little water. I was able to...
A couple of weeks ago my lavender orpington hen started showing symptoms of illness. I’ve decided to make a post displaying her exact symptoms.
Her poop is yellow and gets stuck to her feathers often (i have to clean it off every couple of days).
She is not eating or drinking. She has gotten...
New to chickens! Just got a few pullets a couple nights ago and they appear healthy. I had a bag of Purina layer pellets from when our ducks were still with us and so they ate that for a day until I could get to our local Bomgaars for chick starter. Switched to the chick starter last night...
I have a one year old Black Copper Marans hen who has been acting "off" for a few weeks, with signs of improvement and then regresses a bit. She's shown all these symptoms separately - puffed up, listless, separating from the flock, roosting way earlier than necessary, head flipping (like she's...
Hi, everyone! I have a 1 year old black silver laced Wyandotte who has been acting off for a few days. The flock free ranges, but this weekend I noticed she wasn't coming out of the coop with the others. She was staying on the roost most of the day with her feathers puffed out and her neck...
My chicken has had a normal consistency poop but it’s like a brighter yellow for the past couple weeks. We have not figured out what is wrong with her or how to help her. We talked to a vet tech and she said it was coccidiosis but after treating the flock with Amprolium I have not seen any...
Slightly confusing situation and one I can't find a similar case to hence why I'm finally posting this. Please bear with me and hopefully, I can do a good job explaining. The problem is with my Brahma roo (pictured) but there is a secondary issue of yellow poop which is the case for some of...
We have had a very hot and humid week here in VT, and noticed today that one of our girls didn’t greet us to be fed this morning. This was odd, since she was acting completely normal (visually, and eating and drinking) yesterday. Today when we brought her inside (we thought maybe heat stress, we...
A few of our 12-week-old chickens are having yellowish poops (sometimes foamier, sometimes more pudding-like than pictured), but are otherwise eating, drinking, and acting energetic. Their combs are all as red as usual. We have also seen them each take normal poops in between the scarier looking...
Hello,
My husband and I got chickens two weeks ago for our backyard in the city. They have seemed very happy and love foraging around in our yard. We feed them laying feed mixed with peanuts and sunflower seeds. We’ve also given them dried lentils, cooked porridge, pieces of onions, kale and...
I am looking for a bit of help. I am a fairly new chicken lady. I have 5 hens all two years old, purchased from my pet chicken.
I have a two year old barred rock hen who is laying around and acting lethargic. She can walk, but doesn't seem to want to and when she first stands seems wobbly and...
I have a white Marans chick born on July 23rd, who became very sick on Thursday. She was listless, lethargic and completely puffed out. We called the only local avian vet but he’s on vacation so went with corid treatment and didn’t think she was going to make it given how I’ll she seemed. By...
Hello! My chick was fed egg yolk yesterday and this morning had a normal looking, but yellow poop with some liquid. Is this normal? It has only happened once so far. She hasn’t been drinking a ton of water so I keep bringing it to her, but eats fine and acts normal. Thank you.
1) What type of...
