I gave it selenium and vit. E with supplements and coco water, and raw egg and it made a full recovery:)

I have it separated from the rest for now, in a few days I’m going to move the rest to a larger outdoor coop. Any else I can do? I heard wry neck and slipped tendon could be from vitamin deficiencies from the parents or genetic as well.

Hello, I’m raising some chicks and have been having some issues with this run. I have my ayam cemani and polish together as they grew way faster than the silkie chicks. I was treating them with corid and they seemed to do better so I then started to give them vitamin supplements immediately...

Thank you, is there any brand of oyster shell you recommend? I saw scratch and peck was a good one, although expensive, seemed to be the best choice for most birds then the pebble varieties.

Hello, I have been doing a lot of research here regarding the types of feed to give our chickens. I looked at other threads and thought my situation was a little unique so that's why I am posting. I currently have ten 12 week pullets, one young rooster, and two adult laying hens (EE and...

This was the other day. More than half were pooping blood. Now there is barely any blood but still some.

This is arriving tomorrow and what was recommended to me from another silkie breeder.

I need to keep treating the coccidia what should I do? Should I continue the amprolium for a few more days? Is there something that I can give it that will decrease of kill coccidia but won’t affect vitamin intake?

I have some chicks that I am currently treating for coccidia as I found that they had some bloody poop. They range 3-5 weeks old and seem to be doing better on the amprolium treatment. I did notice on day two that my frizzle silkie had developed wry neck. Could this be from me treating with...

This is day 3 of treatment, little to no blood so I’m crossing my fingers I don’t see any tomorrow morning.

The chick is a frizzle silkie so can that be the reason?

Will do, in next day or so I will get another bin to seperate the large ones so they get space. Just got to wait on Amazon.

Thank you so much for the help. I just want to give them the best at life.

Ok will do. Do I need to worry about this later in the road. I assume all chickens housed outside carry a form of coccidia? Once these are treated am I fine to eventually introduce them to the rest of the flock?

Thank you, how often should I deep clean with ammonia? Everyday? I am cleaning and replacing paper towels a few times a day, trying to minimize ground contact with dropped poop.

Thank you. I am looking into a larger area now. I started giving them 2 teaspoon/gallon corid yesterday. Is there a specific cleaning regime I should do with ammonia? I was thinking just everyday when possible. I do remember having to give them a different feed, which was a couple days before...

Some of them seem to be keeping their heads close to their body as if they’re resting but when I approach them they run around all excited. They seem pretty active and I don’t see anything sulking or acting extra weird. Is there a cleaning regime you’d recommend?

Should I worry about that amount of blood as well? It seems like a lot. I’m trying my best and want them to thrive and survive. Also is there any way to clean them off? They often step on poop.

Hello, I am a new chicken keeper and this is my second time raising chicks. My first time I had no issues whatsoever but this time I believe I may have come across coccidia. I have ayam cemani, polish, silkies, and a white sultan in a brooder setup. They’re currently ranging from 3-4 weeks old...
