I have a hen that is very lethargic right now. Her comb is hanging to the side, and she has green diarrhea. She eats a little and is still drinking. Is it worms or something more serious? I thought she maybe has vent gleet, but her vent area doesn't stink the way they say vent gleet should...

My ducks share the coop with my chickens. They make such a wet mess with the water overnight that it makes keeping the litter dry next to impossible. Would it hurt the ducks not to have water in the coop with them at night if there is no food in the coop?

I have a turkey that has really runny poop. Is that normal? Am I missing something in her diet? She gets commercial chick grower feed, scratch, any fruit or treats that she will eat that I give the chickens, and anything she scratches up in the pen. Any ideas will be appreciated.

I am the proud chicken mom of 5 Orpingtons, 10 Ameracaunas, 2 Rhode Island Reds, 4 California Whites and 2 Barred Rocks. I thought at first that I had all girls, but I know for sure now that one of them is a rooster. I am also the proud mom of 4 Pekin ducks, 2 Ruen Ducks and a turkey. They...

I have two Barred Rock chicks that I picked up at the feed store this past Saturday. One of the chicks is not growing. Her wings look bigger, but she hasn't gained any weight or height, and the other chick is starting to really make her look tiny. She is eating and drinking, and their poop...
