Hi everyone,
I have 6 backyard hens that are about 9 months old and have been laying for about 3 months already. They're laying really reliably, eat well, none look lethargic or sick, seem to be keeping their weight, laying reliably. I bought them all as day old from Murray and they are all...
Hello, I have a Plymouth Black Rock who has been passing diarrhea-like droppings the past few days. She also has been drinking water a lot more in those few days, not sure if that is a symptom of the diarrhea or what is causing it. I note at the bottom that I saw other photos and read other...
One of my chickens has had explosive, completely liquid diarrhea for weeks, and I took her to the vet about 3 weeks ago. After weeks of waiting for blood/fecal results, they didn't turn up anything unusual. Probiotics and changing out her feed have done nothing. The vet left a message...
Okay ever since I got Shelby she’s been an unhealthy chicken, always wants to be left alone and is very flighty. I brought her inside today because of the frostbite on her comb and she had one solid poop and is now shooting out diarrhea! At this point I’m just not sure what to do with her.

My gander Roxby is having issues again.
He’s been off and on ill since March with some sort of recurrent neurological issue.
As of August I seemed to have finally got a handle on whatever it was by treating him and the rest of the flock for coccidia and a gram positive bacteria “the vet wasn’t...
Hello all,
I live on the west coast, where we are getting hit with heavy rainfall and floods. My hen has been molting (growing her feathers back, currently) and lethargic. Yes, I figure she's tired from her body being in overdrive to grow those feathers back. We've been giving the chickens...
Hello fellow chicken keepers! Looking for insight regarding health concerns in our flock. Here's the scoop (I'll try to be brief):
I noticed one of our hens had been having diarrhea and was losing weight. In addition, her crop was distended. I took her to the vet and he treated her for an...
I noticed this afternoon one of my wyandotte hens was having very watery stool and her comb and wattles are quite pale. In addition, she is acting rather lethargic...much slower than usual and laying down on the ground in the run area outside. She is around 7 months old and has been my most...
My chicks had diarrhea and abnormally smelly poo and one of them seems really tired, so i decide to treat the chicks for cocci (they dont sell corid here but it has amprolium in it). after a week the chick was getting better and no more diarrhea but the chick didn't seem to be fully well. i had...
I found unusual poop, is it blood? I do not know which chicken's it was, none of them has symptoms. Two had inflammed eye in the past week, were separated. Also, one marans has this unsolid beige poop for the past 1-2 weeks, is it okay? Also no symptoms... Thanks for advice.
I have a female racing homer about 5 months old. We released her with our flock for their first 10 mile training release on Tuesday the 27th. She did not return with the flock, but instead came in 2 hours later, huffing and puffing. We decided to keep her in, and give her rest for 3 days. 2 days...
I have two Black Spanish turkeys, both are almost three months old (give or take a few days), and one of them is behaving very differently than usual. She’s moving slowly, her tail is drooping, her poop is green and white and it’s watery too. She isn’t trying to get away from me when I go to...
My cream leg bar/leghorn, Baby, has not been herself lately. She’s been less interested in scratch, isolates herself more than usual and stopped laying about 5 weeks ago. She normally lays massive blue eggs, often with a double yolk. She went into the nesting box today for about an hour, but...
Female coturnix quail has diarrhea. The substance is clear in color with occasional white patches, and is very runny. Been collecting samples to show the vet. In the spare time, what could I do to help her? Should I separate her from the flock?
Her diet:

What can I do about my male coturnix’s diarrhea? It’s been going on for about five days now. I’m treating with Corid in case it’s coccidiosis. He lives alone, and he’s not acting very weird except not crowing and having no solid poop- what comes out is mostly whitish or yellowish. Here are some...
Hi all. I’m new here. I’ve had my three girls for about 2.5 years with very little issues. But four days ago one of my hens was showing signs of being sick. She was mostly laying down and didn’t want to walk. When she did she was limping. Stopped laying eggs. Anyways it was after hours so I just...
I have a 3 year old Easter egger who has always had runny stool. As a chick she was healthy and clean, but she had runny stool. She’s still acting fine and laying fine, but her feathers around her vent are caked with poo and I can’t get it out. She’s been to the vet and did a round of...
