One of my Lohman hens is behaving strangely.She is afraid of walking down the ladder in the mornings and I have noticed that she has started to walk backwards sometimes,appearing to be disoriented at times. She is eating and drinking normally and laying regularly.She is a friendly and sweet girl and I am a bit worried.

clear liquid is coming from my hens beak, she keeps stretching her neck. she tries to eat. I need help!!!! I am not an expert at raising chickens so I'm really stressed out over this!!

One of my hens (less than 1 yr old) has been looking ill for a couple of days. She seems to be drinking and eating normally. I have noticed her droppings are very yellow, in the part where they should be white. Not particularly runny or smelly. Cannot find this as a symptom of any particular problem, and have not seen it before. Any suggestions?

Hi I have a chicken which is walking as if she's drunk. Sideways and then low down to the ground. She's just molted and lost a lot of feathers but she's still eating and drinking any suggestions? Thankyou

My chicken is standing with her eyes shut and she doesn’t move until I touch her. What is wrong with her?

I have a chicken that is pecking it's belly continuously. She now has a bald spot all up and down her chest. What could be the problem?

Hello, one of my chickens appears to have a runny tummy, is quiet and wants to be away from the others. Also, her beak is slightly open but is it extremely hot here at the moment and they do have access to plenty of fresh water. She seems aloof and did stay in the next box longer than normal yesterday. I’ve never kept chickens before and I could really do with some advice please. Thank you

I have a year old lavender Pekin frizzle bantam laying eggs that are flat on one side and paler on the opposite side. She was struggling to lay just now but succeeded just before I put her into her bath. The eggs have been misshapen for over a week- I have photos. What can I do?

One of my hens is getting very thin and now appears too week to get up into the coup. We lifted her in last evening ( egloo cube) but this morning she almost fell down the steps. She appears to be eating and drinking a little. She’s around 3 years old
