Hi first time on here.
Can anyone help me identify why my hen got sick and died.
I found her sitting beside the water five days ago, she was wet under her chin and when I picked her up and moved her I noticed a gurgling sound from her crop and some fluid came from her beak when I picked her...
Some of my favorite birds have caught Coccodiosis. Where I live is VERY humid, I've been trying to prevent this but I didn't know until yesterday that Coccodiosis doesn't always have blood. Some of them look fine, but a few a are super tired. They slept almost all day yesterday. Last night I...
Should I be worried about this poo? I found it this morning before work. When I got off I scoured the coop and all other turd look healthy/normal. Chicken seem to be acting normal as well. Backyard info....10 birds almost 3 months old, free range most of the day and for the past 24/48 house...
Could I give corid powder to chickens 1 Gal per week? As a preventative measure to keep them from getting sick? I don't know if I have just bad luck, but I hatch out a ton of chicks. And clean everything but I will still have chicks die and or get sick randomly out of no where. I even spray...
I have a flock of ten hens that I treated for coccidiosis when they were roughly ten-eleven weeks old. I treated them for two days, waited a week, and then treated them for an additional two days as was recommended, and then I gave them a couple days’ worth of nutridrench after treatment with...
Recently one of my baby chicken about 1-3 weeks old has been pooping blood. Is this Coccidiosis? how would i treat it? please help!
(another thing my chick has been doing is yawning alot and usually standing with eyes closed.)
i have two hens (Frida a buff brahma and Agnes a silver laced wyandotte) inside right now with what we think is Cocci.
all of the symptoms but our fecal float came back clear. the vet and a relative let is know that its possible the parasites just arent shedding eggs, and that we shouldnt rule...
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
8 week old EE, much thinner and lighter than others
1 year old EE, healthy weight, healthy and laying yesterday
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
10 days after acquiring three 6-week-old...
I have a bird who is declining quickly. I had another bird euthanized and her necropsy showed the main cause of death to be coccia. Now her sister is becoming lame and barely eating or drinking. I know the water dowing but can I give directly since she is barely drinking?
my older hen, henrietta (approx 8/9 years old), has been acting a bit strange. her head will softly sway forward and back, she’s having issues understanding depth or where treats are. if i’m holding a peach, she will recognize it is a treat, but peck all the way around until she eventually gets...
I have a four day old Orpington that is having a rough time, I picked my chicks up from the post office yesterday, got them all set up in their brooder and had seen all of them eat and drink before I left for work. When I got home that night I noticed one of the chicks wasn’t nearly as active as...
I have 6 chicks about 2 weeks olds. I got them from Rural King which told me they were vaccinated for coccidiosis. They had all been doing fairly well. Growing, eating, playing, drinking, and pooping normally. I took them outside for a few hours yesterday since it was warm and they seemed to...
Hi,
5 week old chick very small and very sleepy looking. Have tried corid, egg, honey, probiotics, nutridrench. Just wondering if anyone's mini chick actually ended up growing and if so at how many weeks old? Thanks
One of our 4 week old easter eggers had a bloody looking poop this morning. I noticed one other spot in the brooder. They were supposed to be vaccinated per the breeder. Does this look like Coccidiosis or intestinal lining?
Hello - I was reading on PoultryDVM the following
"When chickens are exposed to Eimeria early on, as long as there are not excessive levels present in the environment, they will usually develop a natural immunity, without any treatment necessary. However, if their immune system is lowered due...
Two sick chickens, about 10-12 weeks old. 2 have already died.
It started with one sick looking lethargic chicken, we I picked her up fluid came out her mouth. I vomited her and then brought her inside overnight giving her only water thinking it was sour crop. She had very watery poop, by the...
Title says it all. Last night I discovered some red in their droppings. And today, they have had a bit runny stool and the red is still there (even if it's only a little). I can't imagine how they would have gotten coccidiosis if that's what it is, since I've been practicing good biosecurity...
All 6 hens from my first year died 4 from egg yolk peritonitis.
Chicken ownership was tough on my chickens physically and me emotionally the first year as I lost chicken after chicken. I had my perches too high and one fell off, a predator got into the fenced in area and got one but the disease...
I got 5 chickens from the flock swap a month ago 4 Isa brown and one rir. Everyone has been fine although we are experiencing cold weather right now. I noticed she would be hunched up and thought to myself I need to get her and isolate but when I would get out to the chicken yard all seemed fine...
Hello. I have 4 backyard chickens. I noticed one had bloody poop this morning and began treating her with amprolium right away. After learning about symptoms of coccidiosis, I believe this is her 3rd day of being sick. She's been quarantined all day and it's only been 6 hours since putting the...
