Hello,
My 15 month old golden sex link hen has had diarrhea for 3 weeks. She basically has runny poop coming out of her vent, however does seem to get some solid stuff out too. I've isolated her from the rest of the flock and have been putting Duramycin-10 (tetracycline hydrochloride powder) in her water. I'm wondering if any of you have experience with how long diarrhea can last. She's acting normal otherwise - eating, drinking, bathing, etc. and even started laying eggs again last week (although they do have a significant amount of blood on them). I really want her to be able to go back with my two other hens, but certainly don't want her to pass anything on to them. I'd appreciate any input y'all might have. If you've had experience with this, how long did it take for your chicken to get better?
Thank you!
Katie
