    Chicken poop with red strands

    Hi all, Just let me chooks out this morning and whilst clean out the coop I found this in one of my chooks poos. I think it may be intestinal shedding but not sure. Any ideas? Today was the first I noticed this and I clean the coop out everyday. Any help would be great.

    Reproductive disorder

    Hi, This sounds like the same issue I had with 2 of my Isa browns. After many vet visits and many anti inflammatories and anti biotics I chose to implant them both with a hormone which stops the Production of eggs. Since the first implant I have had to re implant one of my chooks but they are...

    HELP! Sick hen, again! Lethargy, smelly poop, puffed up, possible swollen abdomen...

    Hi, I had a similar issue with a couple of my ex bat hens. After many visits to the vet and a hormone implant they are both looking well. With high production hens they reach an age were they begin to have reproduction issues. EYP is a real problem with these chooks and will kill them if not...

    E. Coli Egg Yolk Peritonitis

    Hi , yes she did have the ultrasound, she didn't have an impacted oviduct which was good news, but they did find a small cluster of cysts attached to her intestines. I asked the vet what this means in terms of her health and they basically told me there was nothing I could do, its just a matter...

    E. Coli Egg Yolk Peritonitis

    I actually had an implant injected about 3 weeks ago and was doing well until about 7 days later when she began to molt a hard molt, fingers crossed it is the hard molt knocking her around, she is currently on meloxican but hasn't really picked up.

    E. Coli Egg Yolk Peritonitis

    I admire what you did for your Chook. Not many people out there know how special a chicken can be, I often explain to people that it is like having a dog as a pet, no difference. I have my favourite chook (Mango) in a similar position to yours. I implanted her about 3 weeks ago and she hasn't...

    Runny Poo, Lethargic chicken

    Hi, I took her to the vet today and they did an ultrasound and found that she had enlarged lymph nodes. The vet told me it could be 2 things avian leukosis or a viral infection. She has given me an antibiotic and an anti inflammatory. I really hope its the latter because avian leukosis...

    Chook with runny poo and lethargic

    Hi thanks for your response, I went out to the pet shop and bought the coccidosis medication, I applied it to the drinking water about 16 hours ago. When I let the chook out of the coop this morning seemed a little more lethargic then usual. How long does it take for things to puck up?

    Chook with runny poo and lethargic

    Thanks, I am going to the pet shop now, we have a product called Coccivet. I will begin treatment today. Fingers crossed. She is still eating and drinking as normal, which is good. In the last 4 days she has produced 3 eggs, would she still produce eggs with coccidosis? Thanks again
