    Age limit for sulfadimethoxine (Albon)?

    Our vet ran a fecal test on our 6 month old chicken & found cocci. He prescribed albon, but she really seems to hate it and since starting it, she’s stopped eating at all, has developed head twitches, and is closing her eyes more. Otherwise, her condition remains the same (lethargic, unable to...

    I got a couple of baby chicks for the first time, and the poop of one of my Rhode Island reds seems to be pink. Could this be blood? The poop in the first picture has a red spot in it. This chick also seems to eat less than the others and has less energy (not lethargic though). Could this be...

    Coccidiosis in Adult Hen? Help!

    All 7 of my chickens are 15 months old and appear healthy (visually)--eating, drinking, moving around, etc. However I noticed a small amount of gelatinous blood in two small wet poops (kinda discharge-y looking) presumably from one of my birds. Looked more like blood than intestinal lining...

    Lethergic chicken please help!

    I noticed my EE was looking a little puffy and moving slow this morning so I did a Corid Drench then added a little to water. Her crop seemed to have a slight squish that I could feel, is sour crop a possibility? I added a pic of her and her recent droppings. Thanks you

    Safe to Worm in Thick of Summer?

    I recently noticed droppings with shed intestinal lining in them (pinkish strands that look like raw meat). My 7 hens are about 15 months old and have never been wormed. They are eating and drinking normally, and otherwise their droppings look good. I haven't found the culprit of the couple...

    Long-term effects of Coccidiosis

    Hey BYC Peeps! I'm currently dealing my first bout of Coccidiosis with my 9 week old chicks. I'm not certain, but I'm guessing that mingling with my established flock has introduced some new type of Cocci to them and overwhelmed their systems. They have Corid water, I've already lost 2 out of...

    Sick, or just growing?

    The Silkie in the image (left, 3 weeks old) has a funny feather or two that stick out as of two days ago. Other than that, she has no other symptoms of any illness, but I am not sure if this is sort of an onset sign? I had a chick pass away a week ago from this flock who had a few feathers...

    Vaguely Sick Chicken - So Frustrating!

    I recently noticed that our 1 year old GLD--one of our sassiest/most vibrant--started going to bed with an empty crop. She was always on of the ones with almost a tennis ball-sized crop at night so I knew something was amiss. I monitored her for a few days and she was showing signs of some...

    Unexpected chick death - Isolated incident? Prevent more losses?

    I know chick death is part of life, but I've successfully brooded ducks and chickens for several years without any losses. Perhaps I was just lucky! A week old lavender orpington chick died this evening. She was active last night, a little extra sleepy this morning, and eating and drinking...

    Sick BO Pullet - Please Help

    Our 5 1/2 month old BO Pullet has very gradually started to act ill. It was tough to notice at first. First we noticed her growing lack of interest in food. While the other girls were always bottom-up eating at whatever food was around, she'd be off by herself--not lethargic, still boisterous...
