French frogs

1.  How old?
2.  All housed together?
3.  Any of the following symptoms:  hunched shoulders, ruffled feathers, dull eyes, dry, dull leg scales, skinny toes or shanks, pale rather than pink under the wings?  Exactly what does the poop look like?  

The first thing I do when diagnosing a sudden onset is to go back to basics.  That means clean, fresh water with NO additives or supplements (too much salt or acid can throw off digestion).  I feed cooked scrambled or mashed hard boiled eggs and cooked oatmeal as a recovery diet.  

I check the feed sources for spoilage by smelling.  Chick feed can go stale, grains can grow aflatoxins, sprouted grains can get moldy, improperly fermented feed can harbor all sorts of toxic things.  Waterers can grow algae, and the red algae is toxic.  Use your nose.  If you wouldn't taste it, don't feed it.  


Thankyou for your time!

The chicks are all 7 wks, 3 were seperated from about 2 wks on.

Under the wings looked veiny... Im thinkn u mean this is pale, i took a pic for you. All of them feel very skinny... Poop looks good, tails are down, feathers arent rumpled, and eyes are clear...

Waterers are cleaned weekly around here. I use FF, but the chicks get crumble. I dug around in the bag, its about a week old, smells great, no clumps, or wetness. Its a half used 50# sack of unmedicated starter. Dumor brand...

I only used two gallons of the probios and electros, i dont use anything for them constantly.

I'd always ask directly, it's faster than reading. As far as posting when people are at work, have you noticed how dead this place is on the weekends? :gig
