Gosh I'm at a loss here....on day 6 of Corid treatment, yet at least one (I think two) of the pullets still have runny droppings!! Solid WITH runny stuff, I can actually see/hear it squirt (sorry) outta one of them!! Tails r up, they've eating...what can this be???

Kathy, well as far as their response; no bloody stools but 2 of them still have wet droppings (one worse than other) not actual diarrhea just "solid" with liquid mixed (sorry hard to explain) BUT otherwise everyone's eating nd drinking, foraging, and dust bathing

So if I accidentally only used one tsp per gallon for first 4 days (once I seen I was missing half tsp I added immediately) should I treat longer than 7 days with correct dose? Or just finish out the 7 days using right amnt? Thnx

Yes there was definitely bloody stool on Sunday (far as I know only from the one tho) but have been treating all 5 with Corid in water. And after the first day no more blood. One of the other pullets does still have watery stools (but mostly still formed) I will mention I got these three RSL to...

So should I stop the Corid treatment? I gave their first dose on the 3rd so today is the fourth day of Corid. I do have Tetroxy as antibiotic, should I just begin treating with that?

Alright I recently treated for worms/gape and was successful, I will repeat after 10 days from first dose. But then 2 days ago one of my RSL (4.5 months and same one that I think had gape worm) began having runny (watery) stool WITH blood (small blood "chunks") so I RAN out and got Corid and...

Thank u Kathy, I agree, I'm REALLY not wanting to give antibiotics! I just went out (they free range all day) and one of the younger pullets is sneezing (I think, kinda sounds like could b a chirp lol) she's approx 3 months. Ok then unless I see/hear symptoms of illness other than worms I will...

Nope! Hell she doesn't even look sick, everybody (1 hen, 3 pullets, 1 rooster) is running around, eating, chasing me for treats. The ONLY thing I've noticed is some craziness comin from some backsides, but that's been since I wormed 2 days in a row

Ya, reason I thought gape worm is because she had a gaping beak & kept stretching her neck...like a lot! And even as of this morning is NOT doing those things anymore. Ugh it's tough to figure out. I called my vet (who said they absolutist would NOT see a chicken) so I called others to get same...

Sorry to high-jack the thread, I 'think' one of my RSL has gape worm I treated all with safe guard, r u saying in ur post here that I need to continue for up to 5 days? She 'seemed' a littke better today (second dose was today) but even now in the coop I can hear her makin a sound (almost seems...

Thanx, and ya all went well the rest of the evening! It is SUPER HOT here in my part of CA (107 degrees today)

So 45 minutes ago my rooster "Poppy" threw up, it was actual undigested food (3 pieces of BOSS, half a dried mill worm, and a tiny piece of grass) he 'seems' alright since. Should I b worried?

I've SO enjoyed this entire post!! I laughed outloud several times, and got all teary-eyed when everyone got their first egg.... I was so happy when my girl layer I wanted to kiss her LOL

UPDATE!!! I've tried to upload pic but for some reason it's not actually doin it. Mally (jap bantam hen) laid a beautiful egg this morning

Well I thought my hen had laid and wanted to get to the egg (last three have been broke) my roo was inside box spinning and makin all kinds of noise (hen was out and drinking) so I shooed him out and boooooy was he ****** OFF he screamed at me continuesly I actually thought my gentle (PERFECT...
