So I ordered 6 hen chicks from my pet chicken, very healthy initially when they arrived Wednesday.
I now have two who are lethargic, but easily qrousable to stimulation. I noticed today just now actually I have a mottled houdan who's picking out her feathers, belly is bloated hanging between her knees and she had what appears to be yeast all over her. Is it um...man I forgot the word. But basically is this a yeast infection ? Her poop is somewhat soft, yellowish.almost diarrhea.
I now have another of the three houdans I found with white pasty something stuck near her vent. I gently cleaned and got most of it out but that one is Isolating herself and crying. Bless her heart.
They're in a wooden brood box with a light and pine chips for bedding. Getting medicated feed plain water and grit.
My concern is the belly on the one houdan with so many feathers missing. That's throwing me off. Could it be coccidiosis ? Do I treat with um...forgive me I have MS and it makes me forget words
Corid ...do I treat with corid ? But what if I do that and it's a yeast infection ? Do I do corid and acv water, acidophilus maybe Epsom salt baths and Nystatin cream ?
I've tried reading through the threads and the above is the extent of my own knowledge. Just a ton of info here and I'm not sure which interventions I should specifically use for this situation.
Thanks so much In advance for any help you can give!
