I have chicks almost six weeks old. My question is how long until their poops are back to normal while on endocox. Package says 3 days treatment. Will they still have orange strings in their poop after the treatment is done? Thank you for your knowledge on this subject in advance.
Lily has been having initial poops like this in the mornings. They were all treated with corid 2 weeks ago. She acts normal and gaining weight. Is this intestinal shedding? Other poops during day are good. Any advice? Other chicks have some shedding but not with the white mucus poop.

I am getting mixed advice on what to feed Eleanor post crop surgery. the vet said no yogurt or crumbles made into mash for 2 weeks. she suggested cat food, baby food, applesauce. Most of the information I have found said yogurt and crumbles made into a mash are feed during recovery. Eleanor...
