I haven't seen any blood in the stool. It's mostly clear and watery looking. I have LA 200 and I have Amtyl. It’s not hot in the sunroom that they’re in but hen 1 keeps her beak open and panting. Hen 2 only does that after moving around or pooping. Is that a sign of infection, worms or...
Thank you. Last time I dewormed them was December 15, 2022 and I used safeguard paste. What about an antibiotic? I truly prefer natural methods to treat them but also understand that once they're showing signs of illness, it's probably too late for a natural treatment.
Corid - I was giving 1tsp in 1 gallon of water
I was texting with a friend who has chickens and when I noticed no improvement after 5 days of treatment, and 2 more sick hens, she told me to stop the corid. That was yesterday.
I live in New Jersey.
The chickens have access to my backyard which...

Hi. I have a 9 month old Olive Egger hen who just had surgery on her impacted crop. It had been impacted for about a week and a half. I tried everything I could to get it to move prior to considering surgery and once I was able to find someone to do it probably too much time had passed. The...
She's 20 weeks old. No other symptoms besides the limping. When I first separated her I checked her legs and feet and couldn't find anything. Now that she's been inside, I see that she's picking at one of her toes and making it bleed.
Hey everyone!! One of my sweetest girls just passed on Monday morning. As if I'm not sad enough already, one of my other hens started limping. I have her separated since Sunday morning and have looked her over. I don't see that there's anything wrong with her leg but if she walks, she's...
I was giving nutridrench yesterday and will try poultry cell today. I really hope it's not mareks. I put her with my other cream legbar so she wouldn't be alone but now I'm wondering if I shouldn't have done that. And also wondering if I should put the healthy cream legbar back with the rest...
Hi. Everything looks normal. But I woke up this morning and one leg was going all the way forward and the other all the way back. When I pulled her feathers back by her left wing it looks like her leg bone is sticking up but I'm not sure.
Hi. I have a 10 week old cream legbar that was completely normal yesterday and when I got up this morning to feed them I noticed she wasn’t getting up or walking. So I separated her and gave her nutri drench orally and some in her water. I then fed her scrambled eggs and she ate and drank...
