    Another post of poop pics - coccidiosis?

    It has been SO so rainy here and we did not put new bedding down in our run. I’m so worried I hurt our chickens by letting the run get rainy the past few days. :( Everyone is acting normal so I dunno whose this is… If it is coccidiosis, can I get a confirmation of treatment? ;( We’ve got 19...

    8 week old chick has been shakey since birth, no other symptoms

    This is Shake n Bake, my 8 week old Buff Orpington chick. I bought her and 4 other chicks as day old chicks, and this chick is the only one who has an issue. She has always been shaky, and when she perches she tends to wobble a bit as if she's dizzy and loses her balance. When walking, she...

    Lethargic rooster - poo thread

    I posted earlier about my sick roo, Tucker, but the thread fizzled out with folks telling me to change my flock feed and nothing much related to what might be causing my rooster to lose all his energy and his balance. He had had very watery poo for the last two days, but is drinking electrolyte...

    Sick Chick

    One of my thirty 8 week old chicks has diarrhea and has for the past 5-6weeks. I started giving it electrolytes as soon as I noticed it was sick but it hasn’t improved. It doesn’t seem to be lethargic and eats and drinks regularly as far as I can tell. Any diagnosis or suggested treatment...

    SOS SICK 14 WEEK OLD CHICKEN

    I walked out to the coop to see one of my cream leg bars just nestled up on the coop floor. They like to do that sometimes so I didn’t think much of it until she didn’t get up when I came next to her and touched her. I tried to get her to stand and she was weak and wobbly. She just seems SO...

    Hi there! First time posting. He is looking rough I know. I have no experience with chickens or turkeys but here's my story. I went to Cal ranch and saw a bird at the bottom of the cage getting stepped on and look like he was going to die. I asked if they could take him out and separate him...
