Lat year I added 12 new chickens to my existing flock of 8. The 8 I had were all hens about 2 years old. One of the 12 new chickens I got ended up being a rooster (buff Orpington) to my dismay. He’s been ok so far, has not shown any aggression towards me. He’s left one of my other hens bare...

Thank you for your reassurance and words of wisdom. I surely hope I did not cause her demise. I noticed she had symptoms 2 days ago. On the second day she died. Would she have had nutritional deficiency after 2 days? Does cocci work this quickly? Or does it exist and multiply within the gut and...

Oh, I wasn’t aware of this. I was sitting just behind the chicken. She didn’t keep her beak open for very long so I don’t know in which direction the liquid went. Thank you for letting me know. I will keep this in mind if needed for future.

I hadn’t heard of flip over disease. I figured she was just panicking or having some sort of seizure. I don’t believe she had a crop issue going on but I’m not certain as I wasn’t familiar with the crop and the issues associated with it. Thank for your time and response.

I gave her corid orally since she wasn't taking water. I also squirted some water down her throat. My sister works at a vets office and she relayed the above story to him. He told her that giving a chicken too much water causing their stomach to rupture and that this is likely what killed her...

Thank you for your reply. I am in Northern California and my hens will be 6 months old this month. I have started them on liquid Corid.

Two weeks ago I was counting my chickens before putting them away for the night and noticed I was short by one. The next day I found her, she had passed away. She was not mutilated or torn apart and she had no obvious signs of injury. I do not know what killed her. Fast forward to yesterday, I...
