She had been laying for about a week (all three had been) but since the one dose of broad spectrum antibiotics and now the Corid she along with the others, have stopped laying - all except her she is laying sometimes but shellless eggs. It all seems very coincidental to the medication...
Eggcessive - thank you for your help. I started all of my flock on the Corid last night. All the chicks are eating drinking and active and there hasn't been any bloody droppings today - just loose. My other hens just started laying last week and this week on a regular basis. Today I didn't...

Thank you! I am sorry to have bothered you, I texted in a panic but then did more research last night and found your previous posts There were no bloody droppings this morning so far - is it safe to start the treatment anyway just in case? Same with my other older hens - they haven't been...
