I know there's another lady,that used Corid, getting answers from my post. But if your comment was for me, I treated the suggested time. 2 tbsp/gal the first 2 days, then 1tbsp/gal for 4 days as directed on the Sulmet bottle. So, 6 days total.
Thank you. So, blood in stool after treatment could just be a side effect of the parasites, thanks. I was just hoping it wasn't a new chicken coming down with it AFTER I already medicated the whole group. I'll keep my eye out for any changes. I'd still like to know if it's ok to treat the same...
I've never used corid and using sulmet is new to me also. They say corid is way easier on the chicks bodies but treats for more kinds of cocci. It's unfortunate yours are getting worse. I was also told that by the time you see te bloody yuck in their poop that they've already had it for a few...
I recently lost a hen that acted the same way. Turns out she had chicken lice and I didn't realize it until it was too late. I read up on it and she became anemic due to the problem. Just a thought.

The rubbery thing in poop could be a Lash Egg.. From what I've read, you should get the chicken spade or fixed or whatever they do to chickens, because they will never be any good for egg production if they lay lash eggs. Here's a link ...
My chicken has some of these symptoms after passing a giant egg. Can this still happen if she's still laying? She's laying every other day, but sits puffed up and doesn't have an appetite.
Thanks for the reply. I read about all the most common diseases and hoped it would be nothing she would stay a carrier of. Wish disease was easier to determine :(
HELP!! I have 2 hens, the striped one and a broiler which I plan to eat soon. They are about 3 months old and have not been around other chickens for that length of time. About a week ago I noticed one was squinting one eye and had what looked to be peck marks around it. Now, her eye is runny...
Yes, it has ridges. Here's a list of comb types. I believe this site has good definitions of each comb type if you can find it. By this site, I mean the Backyard Chickens site.
