    What is this in a dropping?

    This is all so nice to hear!! We feed them organic dumor crumble from TSC. They occasionally get raw oats. The do get scrapes that contain seeds (strawberry, watermelon, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc).

    What is this in a dropping?

    I went to clean the coops as I do bi weekly and found an unusual dropping. My birds have had roundworm before so we deworm annually but I don’t recall seeing this before. Is this larva of some sort or this something else? East TN, flock of 30, 1 rooster, free choice coop and large run until...

    Foot injury/not bumble

    My cousin just sent me this of her young rooster. They live in East Texas and he is about 24 weeks if I’m recalling right. They say he is limping and sent me this picture because I’ve had chickens for years. However, i do not have any feather feet breeds. To me it appears an inflamed erupting...

    Sudden sneezing and raspy chickens. So far 4/32 and 0/8 chicks

    We never lost any of them! I treated symptoms with VetRX, gave them from scratch bone broth and scrambled eggs with herbs daily for 2 weeks. Their production dropped from avg 22 eggs a day to as low as 9. We’re back up to 12-14 a day now. Not great but no one has symptoms. Continuing the broth...

    I appreciate all your help. It says June 4th delivery. Is that too late?…

    We were at 20 a day from our 32. We’re down to 12 but yesterday was 16. Our rooster has it now. His poor crow makes me so sad.

    Some of the first birds we noticed to be coughing/sneezing seem to be foraging per usual and are laying eggs. Their cough isn’t as frequent but now they have horrible diarrhea.

    Did yours spread in the flock? Mine is spreading quickly.

    Is this the exact product you’d recommend? Is their egg withdrawal? I was looking at AmoxTy but assumed because of the amoxicillin there would be withdrawal. I’ve read the Tylosin has no withdrawal time but not sure if it’s helpful in this case. I’ll need to get it ordered and hope for quick...

    The diarrhea was noted this morning from the few birds that first showed symptoms. It’s pretty bad… electrolytes is a great recommendation. Would you think something like Save A Chick or Rooster Booster? A friend suggested Keifer for the probiotic properties.

    Sudden sneezing and raspy chickens. So far 4/32 and 0/8 chicks

    Some seem to be bouncing back while others just started sneezing/coughing today! I have an older bird who has surprised me every day by remaining alive. I don’t know if that’s related or not. It’s been the last 5-7 days. She just stands still with her eyes closed and tail down. Not crop, poop is...

    I do not shower and change clothes between interactions. I have one pair of “coop boots” that stay on our property. the chicks are moved using a Rubbermaid tote that it solely for their use. Never been stored with our older birds or used for other purposes. They’re in an elevated brooder coop...

    I have had 8 chicks since May 9th who have been totally separated. Just the other day I started giving them grass time in what we call our quarantine coop. So it’s out in the yard where the big birds can see them and get used to them but no shared feeders and the bird birds can’t get in that...

    Gosh I wouldn’t have imagined it would develop so fast! Ugh. What a dumb move. So treat symptoms with VETRX? I heavily cleaned coops yesterday and replaced all bedding and roost materials. I gave them a water dose of Corrid because I was so afraid. I never had used it but had it on hand. Is...
