cocci

Hi Everyone, Arizona resident here, so maybe I can get some input from some Zonies… I have a cute little 6 month old hen who is getting super lethargic, falling over herself, and being last to all food/waterings throughout the day. We found her in the backyard laying out at night (all the...

If a flock has been treated with corid, can they still get cocci? Does it hurt in any way to treat them again? If they are on medicated feed, do I need to stop giving them medicated feed after a round of corid? Does this look like a bloody stool? (hard to see, the stool itself didn't look...

This spring has been one of many lessons concerning chick health and diseases. I feel like I’ve experienced nearly all of them this year. Last year I only lost one to an unsupervised nephew but this year I have lost to cocci, accites, sour crop and most frustratingly, respiratory disease (MG)...

My chicks are two weeks old today, I think. Have two separate bloody bums and not sure if these two things are related. I found a few dark poo’s and a chick with what appears to be blood on the edges of her fuzz around her vent. Pics of poo and booty below. And another chick who appears to...

I got these quail from another breeder and it appeared they had arrived with cocci? Despite keeping them completely separate from my birds and washing my hands before going into cages, I think they caught it too. I got a hold of some Amrprolium and mixed it accurately in their water. Mixed a...

This last Saturday we noticed bloody poop in the brooder that holds our five three-week old chicks. I'd read a lot about cocci so we immediately began treating with Corid using the measurements of 1.5 tsp of powdered Corid per gallon of water. It's been two days and we're still seeing bloody...

Hello, I have a lovely 4 week light Sussex chick. The chick was happy and healthy until until last night when I noticed he was spending more time under the brooder than usual, constantly wanting to sleep, rarely eating and has loose bowels with blood in sometimes. The vets around my area don’t...

We have two 14 week old pullets waiting to join our existing flock. The pullets have been eating, drinking, playing, but act lethargic at times. I saw what I thought was blood in their poo last week and started them on Corid liquid, but didn’t know I needed to make a fresh batch every day. I...

My husband built our brooder from brand new wood. Currently have 3 sections with 4 week olds in one, 3 week olds in one and 2 week olds in the baby side. Five of the older 4-week olds are d'Uccle I got from MPC as day olds, the rest I've hatched from various different breeders on eBay and...

Every time it rains I lose chickens! It never fails. Since starting to raise chickens in the spring I have lost over half of my flock. I’m not just talking about a few, I’ve lost 20 plus total! They will be perfectly fine one day, eating and drinking normally and dead the next day! I am fed up...

I’ll start off by admitting, I was sloppy about quarantining new birds from my old ones. I brought home three new silkies from a poultry swap a few weeks ago (one adult hen, one pullet, and a young roo that I THOUGHT was a pullet :rolleyes: it’s so hard to tell with silkies.) I threw them in...

My five week old chicks have been sleepy lately. Just napping or laying down in the middle of the day. Whenever I walk out there they run over and jump out of the brooder. Their normal excited self and get active when I take them outside. I haven't noticed any bloody poops but I'll be on the...

My 9 week old speckled Sussex had what I thought was sour crop three weeks ago, I was able to get the sour smell gone by using ACV and yogurt. Now she has symptoms of Cocci and her crop is still not emptying properly. She has normal poops but an occasional stinky orange one (pictured below). She...

My 3 month old wyondette i noticed yesterday outside she was laying down, feathers puffed, bloody stool and not eating or drinking. I gave her some corid and brought her inside. By that night she was drinking by herself and trying to eat and also standing up, a huge improvement from earlier in...

Hello. Our hens' fecal float came back positive for cestode protozoa. Our vet prescribed Corid (3ml/gal) for 5 days. I assume that's for the protozoa, and FWIW our hens don't show any signs of bloody stools (cocci). Just some slightly runny poo. I had to look up cestode to figure out that it's...

Hi all, New to the forum, but we've been raising chickens for about 2 years. I have been unlucky enough to have my first run in with cocci. Guess it was a good run while it lasted. We're treating with corid. Showing typical symptoms lethargic, ruffled, stay near heat source and bloody poo. I...

Hi everyone! We have 12 chicks that are about 4 weeks old. We hatched them ourselves and purchased the eggs from reputable local breeders. All are doing really well - happy and healthy except for one. About 10 days ago we found her huddled under the heat lamp with eyes closed and feathers...

Hi everyone! It's been a crazy week trying to get rid of mites, lice, and cocci in everyone / everything while caring for a newborn chick who was initially struggling from cocci. I have 3 hens in our large coop and now we have this one baby chick. 3 days ago I removed and discarded all bedding...

I'm having difficulty diagnosing my hen. She has very smelly yellow/green diarrhea, lethargic, hardly eats/drinks, looks depresed, lost a lot of weight, and is acting cold (even when it's not). Been going on for a little over a week. At first I was thinking Coccidiosis, but her diarrhea doesn't...
