It all started when one of my cockerels started opening his mouth and streching out his next, he stoped eating and drinking. I wormed them all but he still did not make it, after that I lost 6 more birds, now I have some chicks that are in the house and they are now doing the same thing and one has blood in poo. This year has been so tuff on me I have lost so many birds I am thinking I just am not ment to have chickens. All my ducks are doing fine, have not lost any to things like this. I seen today that some of my older chicks out side have mites/lice so I am geting some 7 dust today. What can I do to safe the chicks in the house? I have already lost 1 last night that just had blood in poo but I am treating for coccidiosis in the chicks so I dont know why they would have blood in the poo (it is mostly blood). Please someone help me! I am about in tears over all this, really wish I could fix this before any more die. Oh and I am to worm agen tomorrow and I have safegourd for goats, can I give that to the chicks? they are only 3 weeks old. If you can give it to them what would be the best way and how much? Also what is the best way for older birds and how much? Thanks for any help, the way this is going the 18 eggs I have hatching out will be sold right when they get out the bator so they dont die too. I really dont want to sale them but cant take anymore die under my watch.
