Thanks for asking!! She is doing much better. I put some electrolytes in her water and gave her some
yogurt with some good bacteria in it and she seems much better. I am thinking that her lack of motivation
and energy was possibly due to a tough molt. All the girls seems to be doing better after...
Ok, Thanks, I will do some electrolyte therapy and see if that makes a difference. I see no signs in her poo or worms
or cocci. I am wondering if it is post molt issues. We had a hard molt this year, she is the last one to get
her feathers back. She still has some pin feathers that are coming...
Ok, that is good info. I was not sure how soon after the Corid was a good time frame to worm since I am not sure what it is. I use Safeguard wormer.
Used it last year and had great results.
Another opinion I had from another chicken keeper was to do a weeks worth of vits and electrolights...
Ok, I will get corid, thanks so much. Just to make sure that I get everything, how soon after the course of Corid should I worm them?
It could be worms that are the culprit as well. I wormed last in March, maybe I need to worm again. Or should I wait on the worming?
OK, I will check her out thoroughly tomorrow. I did not see anything the before but maybe looking again will reveal something.
So, they can get cocci at 2 years old. That is good to know. If it is a good idea I will do a course of Sulmet and see if I see
any changes in her. Would it be a good...
Do you think it would be a good idea to worm the flock? Something is up but I am not sure what. I wormed last
time in March, so it has almost been a year.
I could clean the coop again, I use the deep litter method so it would take a lot of their warmth too.
I guess what I really need to know is, should I treat for possible cocci,
or just go ahead and worm the flock seeing that it could be worms?
What do you think?
Thanks for your post.
Her symptoms are...
- sitting low to the ground, kind of fluffed up like she is cold
- closing her eyes a lot
- she kind of has a slight limp which is new. ( I see no signs of injury though, which is strange)
- She kind of hangs in the pen while the others are out playing...
Gatorade?? do i put that in the waterer? I have never heard of using gatorade before.
Do you think that it could be cocci? I have pondered that possibility too?
What flavor of gatorade do they take to the best? Just wondering?
It could be that she is egg bound. I did have a soft shelled egg that was laid today. I give them oyster shells daily,
is there anything else I should give them?
Hi All,
I have a BO hen that is acting like she does not feel well.
Symptoms:
- hanging around in the pen while the others are out playing in the yard.
- Eyes closed like she is taking a nap
- Wings kind of dragging.
- Looks like she does not have much energy.
- She over all looks like she...
