I have a 12 week old pullet who had coccidosis a couple weeks ago. Have CORID she got better. The next day her left eye was irritated and seemed pushed back slightly. Put the terramycin ointment on her eye for 7 days with no change. After a couple of weeks like this she started getting some...

On day 23 of hatching shipped eggs. 9 of 15 that went into lockdown have hatched. I have had two pip at the wrong end and die in the shell. I have one egg left that appeared to have life with candling but wasn’t really moving. I could just see breathing?? I put a safety hole in the air cell end...

Okay I know there is a lot of information out there on this subject and I’ve been researching for nearly 2 days. Here’s my current situation. Shipped eggs. In transit less than 24 hours. When eggs arrived they were less that 36 hours old. I’ve let them rest for 24hours (actually a little more)...

We are building a new coop and trying to use materials we already have on hand. Hubby wants to build the walls of the coop out of some tin roofing that we have. It’s green on one side and white on the other—so coated or painted. He would frame it out in 2x4s and attach the tin to the frame. We...

Approx 5-6months old chicken has been sneezing and vomiting. I’ve seen her gasping a couple of times. Still eating, drinking, and acting normal. I’m heading to TSC now to get meds. Is it respiratory, gapeworm? I also have another sneezing, but she sneezes every now and then. It does seem more...

My 3month old rooster has been having some inconsistent bloody poops. They aren’t runny usually just like a jellied bloody in his poop. He acts fine, eats, drinks, crows. Is this normal intestinal shedding or coccidosis or worms. They have all been treated for coccidosis when they were...

I currently have 4 EE and 2 lavender orpingtons. I have high maintenance chickens and we’ve already had coccidosis that wouldn’t go away and required sulfa meds. Then a couple of weeks later 2 had sour crop (I sadly lost my 3rd Orpington). I’m hoping everyone is on the mends now. Been trying to...

I have 5weeks old chicks. One of my lavender orpingtons has her eyes closed a lot. We have treated for coccidosis (a presistent case) and they are currently on day 6 of CORID in drinking water. This is the second round of treatment for them (first round I didn’t do it strong enough). All bloody...

New chicken momma. Had one chickie (of 7) with bloody poop and isolating herself all fluffed up. Treated with CORID immediately started doing better. 3 days later (still treating flock in water) the same little chickie started acting sick again. Upped her dosage with a dropper bottle for 2...

Hi. Just got chickens about 3 weeks ago. I have 7. 4 EE and 3 lavender orpingtons. They are all between 4-5 weeks. We adore them. They have been way more entertaining than I ever thought possible—-AND WAY more stressful. We’ve already had to treat for coccidosis. I think I visit this site far...
