Backyard breeder, both single comb

Picked these two bantam Cochins as chicks in February. Was curious as to what breed they might be or mix of breed. I thought Colombian but they have some penciling.

Local tractor supply only had the 25g paste. How do I give that?

We have not done a dewormer. What’s your recommendation for one? Also, we were thinking about an Epsom salt bath. Is that a good idea at this point or no?

This is her this morning. She has been drinking and appears to be eating a bit. Lots of watery stool. Any updated thoughts? Coccidosis maybe? Egg bound?

Just did a check she’s laying down in a roosting type position in the crate like normal. Comb and wattles still a good red. She has had two poops, not sure of order, one was a little more liquidy than normal and other was typical. Both of normal color.

Sounds good. Hoping she just neeed some water and rest.

We also made a mash of oatmeal, eggs, oregano, mealworms and red pepper flakes that she has eaten a bit of.

We have 16 other chickens, you could tell they were all thirsty and drank a bit when they first came out and then carried about their business. It rained where I am pretty hard yesterday so we didn’t let them out of the run yesterday but they had time the day before and didn’t show any issues so...

Here are pictures. My wife says she feels firm but not hard.

Came home and let our chickens out, this one was slowly walking with her head tucked and just not typical self. I did some looking and found out that the water bar had run dry. She was moving about just fine the other day. Could she be dehydrated? I brought her inside and gave her some rooster...

Awesome, thanks yall! The four leg bars we got were listed as Easter eggers but they’ve looked very cream legbary.

Our lab wouldn’t take them since he had been over the weekend so we decided to bury her.

This summer we added some splash Cochins, lavender Cochins, cream legbar and Easter eggers to our flock. Recently we have been getting some eggs that are almost gray in color. Any ideas on who is laying them? They’re the front row middle two in the picture.

She was awesome. Definitely a sweet one and a family favorite with how friendly she was.

We’re planning on necropsy but they’re not open until Tuesday. Now not sure how to preserve until then, it’s a long time.

She has passed.

We use nutrena naturists 16% pellets and mealworms as treats. Not sure on last egg because we have 6 light brown egg layers. Her poop was real small, about the size of a thumb nail.

Checked under wings and vent and didn’t see any mites. This is her poop from when she came out of the coop.

Went out to the coop just now and our three year old golden comet was moving very slowly and not her normal self. I’ve set up a home inside and have her wrapped up in a towel outside. Two days ago she was moving about just fine. Any thoughts? She is able to open her eyes but she’s just keeping...
