I again started giving him antibiotics. I would like to add that his comb is normal, his stool is normal, he does not stop eating, he ate regularly. There is no nasal discharge not even wet eyes and he is active as well.

I have only one rooster and its my pet. It all starter with that hen earlier he was healthy happy. Kindly help me as i am very worried.

She just sat still when I let her out of the 50 yard pen to the bigger pen. She had yellow and green diarrhea. Any ideas? Hi; I am very new to owning chickens or birds at all. I recently purchased 3 chicks and their health seemed to be perfect but one of them has been sneezing for a day or two now.

I assumed it was because of dust or pollen but now instead of a normal looking bird stool, the sneezing chick has excreted an almost completely white liquid substance. What do you think? Sounds like it is worth checking up on Rick. Can you collect the stool and take it to your local vet? Great Article.. Completely agree with the flow…Thanks for sharing. I am sure other too would benefit from this!!! It has been three days that my chick is sick. She does not eat just drinks water, has diarrhea with green white poop.

Today I noticed discoloration of her comb with some red dots on it. I am afraid of bird flue. Does she need a vet?
