I know i said i was abandoning this site because the weak chick i was trying to help ended up dying due to me falling asleep for 3 hours but now I have an injured hen. My hen, Bowie, has been in a relatively muddy pen for a bit because we're building a 2nd one (for rotating) they never had an...

hello erm so we have a broody hen and so we decided to give her chicks. last Thursday we went to the local tractor supply store (murdoch’s) and got three chicks. 1 speckled Sussex, 1 sapphire gem, 1 silver laced Wyandotte. On Tuesday (of this week) the Wyandotte passed so we went and got 1...

Hi all Posting on behalf of my father. He hatched a small brood of chickens and they seem to be doing great. They are in the greenhouse with the ability to roam and scratch around but still have a lamp and warm safe spot to sleep. We had a bad storm here last night and looks like their water...

I have a close to 3 year old hen who has a history with soft eggs. On Sunday I noticed she had a dirty butt and some poop on her feathers around her vent so I gave her a bath. She was fine until yesterday morning when I found her on the roost bar in the coop in the late morning. I got her out...

My hen, 2 1/2 year old olive egger is not moving the last 2 days she was having a hard time balancing on their roost bar but she was still walking around just acting slow. My flock is molting and all of them are dropping feathers except for her. Today I found her laying on the floor of the coop...

My chicken Peperomia is around 2 years old. Today she has started acting lethargic, swaying her head and hiding. She refuses to eat or drink. I spoon fed her water in the hopes to give her some hydration. I even laid out some of her favorite foods in a shallow dish of 100% coconut water. I...

Hi Everyone, I have a 2-year-old red sex link hen that puffs up and gets lethargic during the evenings. During the mornings and afternoons she seems okay- her stance is normal, she has normal looking poops, and she walks around and is alert and attentive like she would act when she was...

Our 1 year and 9 month old hen was starting to act funny last night, as she was going in the nesting box instead of the roosting bar at night. We thought she had a late egg. But this morning, I noticed she was standing still by the water, ignoring the food i had brought in. I picked her up to...

Hello, Did some searching but wasn’t able to find these symptoms, and truly want to make sure I’m doing the right thing here for the bird in question and my flock. I have a 6 week old appenzeller spitzhauben (not sure yet on sex, SR from greenfire), has been healthy until about 1 week ago...

My 5 month old New Hampshire Red Becky has suddenly started behaving strangely. I let the flock out to free range yesterday morning and she was acting fine. We live where temps get really hot so we bring our chickens inside from time to time to cool off. We brought her in last night and she...

Hey all. Just looking for ideas of what could be up with my girl. She's very lethargic hunched up. Just sitting in hut. Not really eating or drinking.very pale comb and if I'm hinest she feels very light as if she's lost weight. We're due to get wormed anyways so have done that. Can't see any...

Hello all, I’m overwhelmingly confused by this new pullet I recently picked up. She’s a beautiful 8 week old Easter egger in a group of 5. All seem perfectly healthy except her. She is consistently on the verge of sleep, even when eating and drinking. Any illness I look up she doesn’t match up...

I have a 2 year old olive egger that has been lethargic for the last few days. At first I thought it was due to overcast weather and she might’ve been cold. She has been standing with her feathers puffed up with her tail down and will occasionally close her eyes as if she is sleepy. She has been...

Hello, I’m raising some chicks and have been having some issues with this run. I have my ayam cemani and polish together as they grew way faster than the silkie chicks. I was treating them with corid and they seemed to do better so I then started to give them vitamin supplements immediately...

Hey y’all! New to chickens here I could use your help! This chicken is less than a year old and around lunch time I noticed she was standing still head down eyes closed tail slightly pointed down, looks like she is experiencing some type of discomfort. Because of the poop (pictured) I thought it...

Hi there, My Silkie 2yr old rooster has been very lethargic this morning. I treated the flock with amperol these past 5 days, but found out my hen who was sick actually had a prolapsed vent and I think coccidiosis wasn’t the problem. I changed out the water to regular and added nutridense to it...

Earlier today, she was very unwell. Her beak went cold for awhile and she kept stumbling around. We were shocked and worried for her, so we gave her meloxadin oral suspension anti-inflammatory medication. She seemed to feel a little better after that, but shortly later, she was unable to eat and...

I noticed Ruth, my 10mos LO, fluffed up earlier today. I went to check her and noticed one of her eyes were closed but there's no significant swelling or noticeable injuries. She can open the eye, just seems to prefer keeping it closed. I also noticed these grayish brown spots on her eyelid and...

Hi! A week ago 11/23 had picked up 5 baby chicks all said to be couple days old from Rural King - all very similar size when purchased: Sapphire Gem x2 Cinnamon Queen Silver Laced Wyandotte Golden Comet (I think is what they called her?) - is the mini Couple photos of her and the cinnamon...

Hi everyone! First time posting, but I've looked around and seen similar questions but not exactly the same, so wondering if anyone has any thoughts on my chicken. I'm raising a mixed flock of 6-hens in my backyard, they're about 5-months old now (not laying yet - so can't evaluate whether my...
