Ok, so just before Christmas I had a sudden death and really bloody poop in my 8-9 week old chicks in their brooder. It was suggested here as coccidiosis and I got my cats vet to (somewhat reluctantly) do a fecal float and prescribe me some Amprolium for the coccidiosis, no worm signs at all in...
Hello everyone,
Happy New year to all
So I want to share a heart attack experience I see this morning
I open my rooster like daily in the morning and they poop coming outside today I noticed a brown color almost look red Brown mucus type thing (very little) in tootoo's poop (I forget to take...
I’m pretty sure my chicken has coccidiosis. She won’t drink, so I can’t mix amprolium in the water. Does anyone have a dosage to give Corid orally, so not mixed in any water? Thanks. My hen is 7 years old now, too.
Hello. Remember Beatrice of the egg bound hen thread? Well If you check back on that, you will see that we had a successful outcome. We put her back with the girls on the 26th. On the 27th we noticed her being lethargic, puffed up and hunching, not eating or drinking. I took her to the isolation...
Hello! Our wonderful Cuckoo Marans hen raised two batches of chicks this year. The second batch hatched on Halloween. (Now 2 months old.) One of the babies has always seemed frail. At first it was just that she seemed always to be cold, hunched with her feathers poofed out. As time has...
Hi, I’m on day 5 of treating my chickens for coccidiosis with amprolium. I’m still seeing the occasional bloody poop, and today when cleaning out the roosting area I found a large strange fiberous horrible smelling oval thing. Any idea what this is, and if it’s related to the treatment for...
Hi, I’ve got my amprol 9.6%, and wanted to confirm the dosage for water... I am treating a fairly bad coccidiosis outbreak for the first time. I’ve read a few different conflicting dosages here. My vet recommends 2ml/gallon of water for 2 weeks. Does this sound correct?
my 9 week old chicks just moved out to their chicken tractor today after the overnight death of my favorite chicken in the brooder box. I hatched them out here on October 13th and was unprepared for how fast they would outgrow their brooder. If I had electricity or it was summer it wouldn’t have...
My poor rooster Stanley. We just finished treating him with a round of antibiotics for his foot access (healed now) but he is lethargic, hunching, his legs have lost yellow pigment and I have to encourage him to eat. His crop is not impacted or squishy. His poops are normal. I wonder if a...
Help! I'm new to owning and caring for backyard chickens...my lavender orpington is 10 weeks old. This morning we went to the coop and she was very puffed up and her feathers looked very unkempt. She has had a couple loose stools, little to no appetite, not moving around much. She will drink a...
We found a baby chick around 6 weeks back lying on the road and brought her back home. She (her name is Tooki) might be of the broiler breed. Not sure. But now for the past 5 days she has suddenly gotten very sick and stopped moving around. We had purchased a baby chick (Brownie) so that Tooki...
It's been quite a journey with Nani (2 years old rhode island red hen) - it's been about 2.5 weeks of lethargy, no-low appetite, sleepiness, etc. Her poops looked normal in the beginning so I didn't believe it was coccidiosis (I now know that blood doesn't always show in this case) but I wanted...
So there were a couple giant poops in the run this morning, and I am suspecting they are broody poops from my chicken who takes her sweet time in the nesting box. There seemed to be blood in a poop, but it didn't really resemble what I've seen of coccidiosis online. None of my hens have any...
Hi all,
I have a 6 1/2 month old hen (my favorite, incidentally) that is acting very lethargic. She’s in a flock of 11 and all the others are acting normally. I’ve been out of town for a week and have only been back for two days, so I don’t know how long this has been going on.
Last night I...
Hi,
We are very new chicken keepers, and we're making all sorts of mistakes so far.
We got 2 8-12 week old pullets last Saturday. On Monday, we were worried they would be alone and cold...so we bought two more. From a different flock. And ignored quarantine protocols.
Now we're chastising...
Can natural coccidiostats contained in commercial poultry feed cure chickens with coccidiosis?
Can we eat meat or eggs when natural coccidiostats are contained in feed?
Hey Everyone!
I am posting this to those who use medicated chick feeds. I understand everyone has their opinions on whether or not to use medicated chick feed and this is not a post for arguments sake. This is me simply trying to inform those who do use it. So I digress.
To those of us...
I keep noticing yellow mustard colored poops in my coop. I’ve just treated everyone with powdered Corid (1.5 tsp/gal) for 5 days so far. I put the Corid water in their feed as well to ensure they are really getting it in their system. Nobody is acting weird at all but this poop is just odd...
My five week old chicks have been sleepy lately. Just napping or laying down in the middle of the day. Whenever I walk out there they run over and jump out of the brooder. Their normal excited self and get active when I take them outside. I haven't noticed any bloody poops but I'll be on the...
