sick bird

Hello! Looking out for my buddy of almost three years, our Coturnix quail has been breathing through his mouth all day. I don't think I've seen this before, but maybe I haven't looked closely enough? He has always been extremely calm little sleepy boy, so I don't think it's super weird, but he...

Sorry for the long post, but I’m trying to be as descriptive as possible. We have a Blue Ancona hen that is approx 8 months old that started developing symptoms about a month and a half ago. For the first week, she started getting loud and moody, then the second week she began to get poofy and...

Possibly sick bird or maybe just molting any ideas i got her a couple days ago from someone who needed to rehome her with a couple of other hens the person I got her from said she was just molting which is probably right but I figured I’d ask people on here who have more experience with sick...

I recently brought home a few quails ( a week ago) but now one of them has fallen sick. They were fed layer feed, so I continued feeding them that, and as for age, they were all a little less than a year old. 3 days ago I noticed one of the hens acting lethargic and drinking A LOT of water. I...

today I went out to the coop to find one of my Muscovy hens not looking so good she seamed fine yesterday She’s acting lethargic not moving around much and I haven’t seen her eat yet I’ve delt with sick chickens before but never Ducks anyone have any ideas

So today I came home after being gone for a few day to find that one of my young hens who’s about 8 - 9 months old had most of the feather missing in her tail and head Is she sick or is it just picking in the flock

today I found that one of my budgies had passed she was lying on the bottom of the cage so not sure what happened My question is could my 3 other budgies be sick and could it have somehow passed from my chickens to my budgies

I have some nearly 6 week old quail that I hatched in February, everything has been mostly okay except a very tiny FTT quail and now, a crying fluffed up and underweight quail, she keeps crying. I’m treating everyone with corid because that’s all I can think this is. But I’m wondering if anyone...

Can someone talk to me about fowl cholera? I had one rooster die suddenly, it was captured on my security camera. Looked like a heart attack. 5 days later I found his buddy who was also a rooster, dead. This was out of view of the camera. There is one rooster left in the group still alive and...

I have a female pet pigeon, Percy, whom I raised since she was a week or so old. She's almost a year old now. Last night when I covered up her cage for the night, she was completely fine. When I uncovered her cage about half an hour ago, she was looking off. Her wings were drooped, and she was a...

Carmella is sick. Pls help. She’s super lethargic. Has diarrhea but still laying. Super puffing herself up but it’s warm today like 15 Celsius. She has been losing a lot of weight and meat in her breast; I’ve been feeding her lots of high protein foods. Today she looks even worse than...

Hello. So about a week ago one of our chickens, Clucky, became ill. She was the last chicken to go into the coop for the night and went to sleep beside a nest and not on the roosting post which is abnormal for her. The next day it was clear that she was sick because she was just standing/...

Hello guys, My female Rouen duck Lizzie has been acting funny the past few days. She lost much of her weight and she is really weak. She doesn’t want to quack or walk or eat. Please help me! Thank you!

Hello, I’m afraid it’s already too late for this hen, she has just died. But I’m wanting to figure out what killed her. When I found her this morning sitting high up on her perch her neck and head were hanging down loose below the perch while her body was still sitting on the perch. I really...

I've had 3 chickens die randomly and now my duck died last night. The first chicken ( 5 yo white leghorn) I believed had egg peritonitis.. She had weird discharge that I thought was vent gleet and I would clean her butt and she stayed inside for a week and later passed away. The second chicken...

Hi! I have an Ameraucana I got at the end of March as a chick, so she's 4 months old. She's not laying yet, though I had my silkie lay an egg in the last few days (my first), so maybe she will start early? She's usually kind of feisty, doesn't want to be touched, and runs away from me. She has...

My hen has been lethargic all day long. She has been just laying on the floor of the coop with her eyes shut, basically like she's dead. She has barely walked today and did not eat/drink. I brought her inside just now because I'm worried whatever she has will spread, if its contagious. However...

One of my new birds was completely fine last night, completely normal, and this morning she is limp, unable to walk or stand, and pooping slightly bloody watery poop. This morning, she was laying face first, twitching, and couldn’t even lift her head. She can still move her legs and wings. All...

I have a 3 year old lethargic peahen. Its temperature is 41.2oC. Does anyone know if this is normal? Chickens can have a temperature of 40-42 but I can't find any information about peafowl temperatures?! I have started worming with fenbendazole. Anyone any ideas?

I brought my 2 month old Millie fleur inside yesterday when I noticed she could hardly hold herself up. I’m pipet feeding her water with electrolytes and now tylan. She seemed fine for a while yesterday (moving, drinking, and eating) now she’s dying. One eye closed up, cannot move except to gasp...
