I hatched this chick in an incubator, but unfortunately, it's unable to stand up or lift its body. I've tried various methods, like taping its fingers to improve grip and keeping its toes in the right position, but it hasn't made any difference. It keeps falling to the ground and struggling to...
One of my chicks had developed a new issue. Tomorrow they will be exactly 3 weeks old. I noticed my largest girl stretch her neck out and gape. This started Yesterday evening. I also noticed that She shakes her head and sneezes. Now luckily none of my other chicks have this issue its just her...
We have an old chicken with ascites. We are planning on trying to drain the fluid to give her some more time and make her more comfortable, but we are afraid of botching it and causing her pain or a more unpleasant death. I contacted a local animal sanctuary to see if they could help and I was...

I have used the permethrin 10 spray on my henhouse and hens last summer, to kick a bad bout of mites/lice. It worked great, and my hens feathers came back😀
However, I noticed a few broken feathers on a hen….That is what I saw previously, before recognizing a pest at work. So, to be proactive, I...

Hi,
I live in Australia and it’s heading into winter. We’ve had a bit of wet weather where I live and I was cleaning out my cages and noticed one of my big chooks has had mucus blood in its poo and one of the little pullets. (they live in different enclosures). None of them appear to be sick...
I have four chooks. Three of them grew up together and are 12 weeks old. The other is 2 years old. They are all around each other and live together now.
One of the 12 week olds Inari was making some weird noises when cuddling for about a week now. Since she is eating, drinking, and acting...
Woke up to find my 7 month old hen with a swollen eye and face on the one side. She seems more sluggish than usual. I’m not sure if it is an infection or something else. Any treatment ideas and possible diagnoses?
Hi all. So I have a 2-year-old Partridge Olive Egger hen who has had chronic diarrhea for at least the last couple of months. It almost comes out in a stream and her vent is almost always dirty. At first I thought that that was just her, but after a little more research, I’m pretty sure she has...
Hello! I am in a bit of a tough situation. My hen was attacked by my dog, and has developed sour crop. I’m not sure if it developed before or after the attack. I am trying to research how to test it but there are so many different treatments I don’t know which one is best to use! I’m very...
Need major advice!

I have a 5 year old, 8.5 lb. Ameraucana rooster named Truman who came down with a respiratory infection yesterday. He is wheezing and has labored breathing. Eyes appear clear and I see no discharges. His appetite seems good and energy level is about the same. He's my favorite chicken...
One of my hens has some redness on her foot. She has strange feet anyways...think a birth defect or something?..outside toes turn oddly and she has some kind of growths(had those for a long time-no issues) Not sure if she could have bumblefoot? I don't have any experience with it. Took some...
Good day everyone.
So I have been dealing with something that I'm not sure how to treat. I have 3 coops. One with my 2+ year old laying hens. One with my 20ish week old pullets, and one with chicks. My young girls (20 weeks) are not laying yet and I have been letting them free range just about...
