cocci

I got a couple of baby chicks for the first time, and the poop of one of my Rhode Island reds seems to be pink. Could this be blood? The poop in the first picture has a red spot in it. This chick also seems to eat less than the others and has less energy (not lethargic though). Could this be...

All 7 of my chickens are 15 months old and appear healthy (visually)--eating, drinking, moving around, etc. However I noticed a small amount of gelatinous blood in two small wet poops (kinda discharge-y looking) presumably from one of my birds. Looked more like blood than intestinal lining...

I noticed my EE was looking a little puffy and moving slow this morning so I did a Corid Drench then added a little to water. Her crop seemed to have a slight squish that I could feel, is sour crop a possibility? I added a pic of her and her recent droppings. Thanks you

I recently noticed droppings with shed intestinal lining in them (pinkish strands that look like raw meat). My 7 hens are about 15 months old and have never been wormed. They are eating and drinking normally, and otherwise their droppings look good. I haven't found the culprit of the couple...

Hey BYC Peeps! I'm currently dealing my first bout of Coccidiosis with my 9 week old chicks. I'm not certain, but I'm guessing that mingling with my established flock has introduced some new type of Cocci to them and overwhelmed their systems. They have Corid water, I've already lost 2 out of...

(Background: My husband and I picked up Three RIRs 3 weeks ago from a great breeder and they were and are thriving. Then last week we decided to get some Barred Rocks 6 week olds two to add to our flock. The birds conditions didnt seem as great ? We got them from a Craigslist post vs the 2 hr...

The Silkie in the image (left, 3 weeks old) has a funny feather or two that stick out as of two days ago. Other than that, she has no other symptoms of any illness, but I am not sure if this is sort of an onset sign? I had a chick pass away a week ago from this flock who had a few feathers...

I've got a chick that I'm fairly sure has cocci. She's still drinking and eating with encouragement, but she's very droopy and showing all other symptoms that I know of. I plan to get corid tomorrow to treat all my chicks with. Is there anything else I can add or do to help her and/or prevent...

I recently noticed that our 1 year old GLD--one of our sassiest/most vibrant--started going to bed with an empty crop. She was always on of the ones with almost a tennis ball-sized crop at night so I knew something was amiss. I monitored her for a few days and she was showing signs of some...

I know chick death is part of life, but I've successfully brooded ducks and chickens for several years without any losses. Perhaps I was just lucky! A week old lavender orpington chick died this evening. She was active last night, a little extra sleepy this morning, and eating and drinking...

This morning I found a dropping from one of my three baby chicks. Not sure if its intestinal lining and I don't know who did it but 2 of my baby chicks make a month in a few days and the youngest one is about 1-2 weeks old. I have the 2 on medicated feed that has the amprolium in it since they...

One of my friends said that my chick looked like it had coccidiosis after looking at the stool. I’ve been treating all 4 chicks with Corid with the suggested treatment that I found on here. Tomorrow is the last day of treatment. One of my chicks (The one that has always been the most concerning)...

I have about 50 chicks in the barn that I'm raising for meat, there are various breeds, like Brahma and RIRs. (Frypan special). They are roughly a month old now. In the past 3 days, 3 of my Brahma chicks have died on me.1 right now is hunched over, very weak and I'm sure she's going to die in...

Our 5 1/2 month old BO Pullet has very gradually started to act ill. It was tough to notice at first. First we noticed her growing lack of interest in food. While the other girls were always bottom-up eating at whatever food was around, she'd be off by herself--not lethargic, still boisterous...

We've got a sick 1.5 year old RIR. She's not eating anything, but she's drinking a lot of water. Her crop is full in the morning, very balloon like, so I at first thought sour crop and made her "vomit" yesterday. I didn't notice a bad smell or anything. She also is having some pretty yuck,runny...

I have about 30 chicks in my barn and just yesterday I noticed poop that seemed a little bloody. Sure enough i confirmed it to be bloody poop today. (Im used to seeing intestinal shedded poop). I have Corid and will start, but can someone help me confirm dosage? And would it help at all to feed...

A few of our 12-week-old chickens are having yellowish poops (sometimes foamier, sometimes more pudding-like than pictured), but are otherwise eating, drinking, and acting energetic. Their combs are all as red as usual. We have also seen them each take normal poops in between the scarier looking...

I have 4 chickens that are 14 weeks old. This morning, There was a splatter poop with blood on the ramp into the coop. There was also bloody splatter under the roosting bar they sleep on. I went to TSC and bought some corid. Just mixed it into the water: 2 teaspoons into a gallon of...

Hi all! I've read a lot of conflicting information on when to switch chicks from a medicated starter to an unmedicated starter/grower. Our chickens are currently 11 weeks old, and have been on Manna Pro's medicated starter from the beginning. We put them in their outdoor coop/run at 4 weeks (so...

I treated my young chicks and guineas for cocci as I lost 2 and noticed the symptoms. Everyone perked up and then the other day I noticed dirty vent on a young pullet (most turned out to be roosters). I really want to save her. I have isolated, washed the area with warm water and dettol mix...
