    Besides often standing outside my door on cold days (doing nothing but staring at me) he's been sitting down and falling asleep. My two chickens are like completely free range, but could he be sick or simply tired? (sorry for the dusty window) If there's already a thread on this let me know...

    This morning, I noticed my 3-month-old chicken, Tokay, did not touch her food. She also seems a little lethargic - has been sitting down mostly and sometimes just closing her eyes while standing. She is usually very energetic and has a big appetite during feeding time. We separated her from the...

    Hey all, I have a polish crested hen who’s been acting extremely weird the last week. Every time I went into the coop, she would be in the same corner, most of the time with her head down in the bedding of the coop. Almost like she was suicidal! Idk how she could breathe! I would set her up near...

    My wife and I have a small flock of 7 hens that live in our backyard in Colorado. They are young and have yet to produce any eggs. One of our hens, Opalopteryx, has had bubbly eye discharge for a couple weeks now. We tried a powdered antibiotic in their water, and most recently have given her...

    Hello, my girlfriend's chicken, a three month old buff orpington, has what we believe to be sour crop. This is the second day of her showing symptoms (lethargy, not eating and barely drinking, swollen crop). We have been trying to feed it Greek yogurt, but she just refuses to eat it no matter...

    My 5 week old Americauna was outside and she suddenly cried out and shook her head. She shook it once more and now I took her inside and she seems to be really spitty in her mouth. She seemed to trip a little, but her walking is fine. I see a piece of grass in her mouth, but she doesn't seem...

    For the past three days or so my chicken has been extremely lethargic and has not been acting like her usual self. Found her in the middle of the yard the other morning after noticing she didn't make it back to the coop the night before. She has not been eating very much but has occasionally...

    Hey all. About a month ago or so I lost one of my chickens, a white leghorn that was hatched in early March. She wasn't laying yet which I thought was a little weird, but since we got her (and the others) she was never the same as the other chickens. She was always slower to develop, her comb...

    My hen, Rosy, is six and is a Rhode Island Red. I was gone for a few weeks, during which the neighbors took care of the girls. When I came back today, the other two hens were acting fine. But Rosy is hardly moving. She just stands in one spot even when I pet her. She isn't interested in food...

    I have an 8 month old roeun hen. She began to lay an egg every day in the summer. About a month ago when it turned cold all of my chickens and the two ducks stopped laying. All of the birds began to lay eggs again normally about two weeks ago. Except this duck. Now I've noticed her sitting in a...

    Hi, I'm Chloe! My brother an I recently acquired (about two weeks ago) a pair of Rhode Island birds. One cockerel, and a pullet. They weren't cheap. Yesterday morning the rooster started acting "drunken." He had trouble walking, he acted dizzy, and he lurched around with his wings out...

    My sweet-tempered ameraucana has been feeling low for several days--a week maybe-- and today when I picked her up she vomited a vile liquid. She's weak and has vomited a couple more times. I would surely appreciate some advice as this is beyond my realm completely and I do care about this...

    I have a hen that has been sneezing, and looks terrible. I thought at first she was molting, but now not so much. I noticed her "sneezing" the other day, but she is still running around eating and drinking and has just started to lay really soft shell eggs. Is there something I can give her to...
