URGENT - Please Help
Our take
URGENT - Please help our delightful little friend, Ferocious Beast! She has always been our happiest, most energetic feathered companion. Recently, however, she has been slowing down and showing signs of distress. Today, we noticed her puffed up and closing her eyes more than usual. While she still managed to run around and play a bit, we kept a close eye on her. An hour later, we saw her twitching and gagging, so we carefully placed her in a cozy cat carrier for some rest inside the house. Although she started to fall asleep, she suddenly stood up and displayed concerning behavior. We are genuinely worried and want to help her without causing more harm. Has anyone experienced this before?
| | This is our happy lovely little friend Ferocious Beast. She was always been our happiest, most energetic, friendliest baby. She has been slowing down the past few days and today has been puffed up, and closing her eyes a lot. She continued to run around and play a little so i left her alone. I looked out about an hour later and she had stopped, and wouldnt move. i could see she was twitching/gagging from the house. we went out and put her in the cozy cat carrier. she’s inside the house now resting. she started to fall asleep but then stood up and started to do this. there is obviously something wrong and we want to help but don’t want to make it worse. has anyone seen this before?

- Update on sick chickenSo a couple days ago I made a post about my chicken being possibly sick but I wasn’t sure. So far she’s still alive and she’s pretty alert. She eats mushes poultry feed and drinks water, but she can’t walk. She also has a tough time trying to balance, like I notice we have to put her in a certain position for her to stay upright. When she tries to adjust herself, she uses her beak to kind of drag herself, if that makes sense? She still goes to the bathroom but she’s always sleepy. I don’t know why she can’t walk yet, I felt her legs and they are still warm. When we try to get her to walk she just cries and tips foward. It breaks my heart seeing her like this. Can somebody please help me find out what’s wrong with her? I’m trying to help her the best I can but I’m not sure how else to help her. My parents don’t know either and they kind of gave up on her but I haven’t. Please help! Ask me any questions and I’ll answer to the best of my ability. submitted by /u/Frosty-Drive3282 [link] [comments]
- Sick hen please helpThis is my hen Tidbit we’re very connected to her we’ve had her for almost 2 years now and she’s my last hen who was connected to my forever rooster DR. P who sadly disappeared in December. Dr. P was more of a pet to me than anything else and we had a very very very special bond… Tidbit had kind of stepped up and takes care of the flock since he passed… out of nowhere this morning, tidbit seemed extremely off, walking around slowly , but not going very far and moving pretty slow… she also let me handle her very easy. wet stool all over her vent .. one of her eyes is pretty squinty and not much interest in food or water. I have her resting in a milk crate and I’ve been sitting with her for hours. I’ve been using a water dropper to get some fluids in her, but I’m very very concerned because I haven’t seen much improvement over the course of the day. Does anyone have any advice or experience with something like this???? submitted by /u/AsvpRocky24 [link] [comments]
- hen seeming overly tired?can someone tell me whats wrong with her? Her feathers look less smooth than normal and she isn’t walking, if i pick her up and set her down, she will maybe walk two steps and slowly sits down again. Shes been eating and drinking but not moving well, tail down, and looking hot consistently. I did recently move and brought her and two other chickens but shes the only one that doesn’t look healthy and normal. Shes been resilient for such a long time that now that shes looking weak im worried im racing the clock against something i cant even diagnose in time. submitted by /u/graveyardfairies [link] [comments]
- Help! Something is wrong with one of my little ladies:(Hello, I’ll start by saying I’m a noob and have no idea what to do. Thanks in advance for any help. So a couple days ago we noticed one of my favorite little chickens was standing kinda funny. Over the past day or so her walk is definitely different and she seems like she’s having trouble getting around. She’s almost straight up when she walks and just doesn’t seem very coordinated or able to do her normal chicken stuff. Anybody know what this is? I want her to be ok so any advice helps. Thanks. submitted by /u/woooowthatwashard [link] [comments]
