Hello! I have two chickens that have cocci. Both hens are less than 6 months old. I lost a guinea fowl keet to this a few months ago. I didn't know what it was at the time and by the time I figured it out, I lost my keet. My chickens have been healthy other than just that one guinea keet until now. I noticed one of my golden laced wyandotte's looking all cocci like about a month ago. I have been treating her with corid orally and putting it in the drinking water. She has been through a spell where she gets better then worse, better and worse, better and worse. Now her growth seems stunted and her symptoms are getting worse. I had my guinea keets in a box with the wyandottes when they were chicks. I'm thinking the cocci came from the wyandottes. I haven't had any issues with any other chickens or chicks. I got back into have chickens back in the spring. I have not seen any bloody poops. I have seen runny poops, but I cannot narrow it down to which chickens its coming from.
My other sick chicken is a buff brahma. She started showings signs last week. I separated these two birds last weekend, put cord in their water, and started giving them 2 doses of corid daily this week. Neither are better and both seem to be getting worse. No other chickens or guineas are sick. I am at a loss. My poor wyandotte looks like her growth may be stunted if she does survive this. I don't want to lose my chickens. Does anyone have any suggestions for this issue?
I did put my girls back in with the other chickens this evening. They were so upset to be separated and wasn't getting better anyway.
