What’s wrong with my chicken?
Our take
Oh no, it sounds like you’re in quite the pickle with your feathered friend! Newcastle Disease can certainly be a worry, especially after losing some of your other chickens. However, the symptoms you’re describing—like the swollen and red/yellow backside, strange standing positions, and green diarrhea—could point to something different. It’s always a bit of a mystery when our beloved chickens throw us a curveball, right? Plus, battling mites can add to the chaos of chicken care! Have you ever seen anything like this before in your flock? Let’s rally together, share our experiences, and see if we can crack this chicken conundrum. Your hen deserves all the love and support we can muster!
 | Several of my other chickens died of what I believe is Newcastle Disease. When this gal got lethargic, I figured it was that again. However, she has some strange symptoms that are different than the others. Her backside is swollen and red/yellow, and she is standing in the strangest positions. Y’all please let me know if you have ever seen this before or if it looks like Newcastle to you. She has had green diarrhea as well. Also she’s all wet because of my never ending battle with mites. Infinite chicken baths and weekly coop cleaning has been my life for about a year now. [link] [comments] |
