The lady said that her educated guess is that it’s coccidia. She is waiting for some more labs to come back and I’m taking some samples of poo to a vet tomorrow to get them tested.

I will

Okay. Thank you. I don’t know what they have. Hopefully I’ll have answers tomorrow

I have super sick chickens. One has already died and a necropsy is being performed as we speak. In the meantime, I have been dozing my chickens with all-in-one powder. It has Ronidazole, typos in, levamisole and Amprolium. I’m wanting to add supplements and electrolytes for an extra boost. I...

Has anyone had any issues with vitamin deficiency or any illnesses related to CO-OP starter grower feed? I have sick chickens and I’m trying to rule out all causes. I had baby chicks get wry neck… once I changed their feed and supplemented vitamins they got better. I didn’t want the feed to go...

I didn’t think about that😰 I spray permethrin 10 in the chicken yard to keep flies and mites at bay.

That’s what I plan on doing. They eat show flow developer in the red bag. I plan on switching to the starter grower on Friday. I gave the 2 most obvious birds nutri drench earlier and I put all 3 birds in quarantine. The baby chicks with wry neck made a full recovery

Their crops are empty so I guess they aren’t eating. I’m going to put them in a cage in my shed so I can keep a better eye on them

They are eating and drinking. I think the poo looks normal and they share a coop split in half with adult birds but have their own separate run. They have been drinking out of the duck pond so I don’t know if that is a contributing factor or not

I’ve been battling sick baby chicks and now my pullets are getting sick too. First I had chicks that had wry neck. I thought it was a vitamin deficiency so I do them up on vitamin e, selenium, b1, nutri drenched and electrolytes. Those chicks are 100% better now. I started with respiratory...

I apologize I meant 0.09

How would I go about measuring 0.23 ml?

I have 4… 8-9 month old silkies with scaly leg mites and I can’t find the proper dosage for ivermectin pour on anywhere. I posted on Facebook and one person commented and said a few drops per bird. Is this correct? I don’t want to overdose my chickens.

I got them all out quickly. The humidity dropped for a second then went back up. All the eggs are finally hatched. Now I’m just trying to figure out what to do about the baby with the bleeding belly. I think it’s an umbilical cord hernia

I’m have several chicks that have already hatch but one that just hatch has blood coming from it umbilical cord and the dried chicks are pecking at it!! How do I remove the dried chicks without losing a ton of humidity. I have one left that’s still pipping.
