Chicken update: 7 of the 8 pullets are now laying! (Only waiting on my mottled Cochin) The bachelor cockerels seem to be enjoying their celibate lifestyle as well in their separate coop/run. They’ve all recovered from whatever plagued their early weeks as chicks. No other issues have occurred...

A better photo. This is from a fecal smear from the Ayam Cemani (6 weeks old). What am I looking at? What do you think I’m dealing with? I can feel the keel bones on all my birds. Hens & chicks. This has been a tough month or so! I’m going to buy Ivermectin pour on and treat the hens. (I saw...

Here is what I saw. Bad pic with my phone, sorry!

Tried doing my first fecal float test and saw some worm like things under the microscope in a fresh sample from my jersey giant chick who only weighs 100g at five weeks old. (Her sister Jersey Giant weighs more than twice that-same age-same hatch.) I have Safeguard de-wormer paste and I'm...

Hen update: I removed the lesions multiple days in a row and they kept regrowing overnight. I took a sample from two hens and viewed each under our microscope (all three magnifications) and found nothing that moved on its own (no flagellated protozoa), but I did see bubbles (in the tissue, not...

Azygous, thank you. The three hens are doing better, I think! I've made them each eat a third of a clove of garlic three times today, along with a squirt of ACV honey water, and then a pea sized amount of anti-fungal cream. The patches were definitely not growing, and I think they could have...

Thank you! I put some Clotrimazole cream at the edges and a bit in their mouths about 2 hours ago. I had found that it helped in another forum online. I will add miconazole cream to my shopping list and pick that up tonight or tomorrow. Perhaps I will give both of them, alternating between them...

Thank you all. Here is a new thread I started today with more info: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/please-help-mouth-lesions-for-about-a-year-now-spreading-to-others.1414195/ I have had a lot to deal with in the last 4.5 years of having chickens. It all started with that auction hen...

RainbowHen, so do you agree that it must be yeast/candidia/thrush then? I'll see if I can get Nystain. Thank you!

Here's how my little chicks have grown! You can clearly see the meds working! (I started Corid on day 7 on the charts, the the antibiotic for the sneezing on day 9, then Denagard on day 16 because not all sneezing had resolved.) Now they are only taking their vitamins/electrolytes/probiotics in...

Thank you for your help. My chicks are all thriving now! My hens are not doing as well. I've checked them all over and three have lesions. I did a run of Corid for both chicks and hens, then a run of Denagard for both chicks and hens. And I also gave the hens all copper sulfate (1/4t in a gallon...

Thank you so much. I just called my vet to see if he will prescribe it. He's very busy and often doesn't call back the same day though. It's on backorder on that link/page. Bactrim is trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole. It is effective for most gram neg bacteria, a few gram pos (like staph), and also...

Please help. My two week old chicks are failing to thrive. I can feel their ribs and keel bones. They are up and eating normally. I had a fecal test that showed cocci and this is day three on corid. The 9 hatchery chicks arrrived 8/12. One arrived unable to stand without stumbling backwards. It...
