    Yes, completed corid and dewormer regimen. Thanks for the advice.

    Lethargic 12 week old pullet

    She's still holding on but not sure for how long. She's gotten worse. She has actually been inside since yesterday afternoon, and I did something I never thought i would do: take a chicken to the vet. He doesn't think she will last long. She is down to 12 oz. I've been giving her water loaded...

    Airyaman's flock stories

    So I wanted to wait to see what the end result was before posting anything about this one. My last flock is a bunch of 4 week old chicks in a large brooder. I don't really have outdoor space for them yet (working on it) so they are still in the brooder for now. While I do have some free coop...

    Lethargic 12 week old pullet

    Wish I could narrow down her problem. She has symptoms of worms but her flock mates don't (anymore). She has symptoms of coccidiosis but her flock mates don't (anymore). I've been treating for both. She still eats and drinks well. She sat on my chest for a good 30 mins this afternoon while I...

    Lethargic 12 week old pullet

    It's 97F out right now so her flock mates are free ranging and hanging out in their favorite spot under the coop (coolest place except inside my house!). She is inside with me until the heat dies down.

    Lethargic 12 week old pullet

    So she finally open her eyes all the way, but it was while she was sitting in my lap at my computer, in a room with the light off. I could not get a picture in the low light, the flash made it wash out. I think this might mean she is at least sensitive to light because she will typically not...

    Lethargic 12 week old pullet

    Can confirm her eyes are not gray, just the way my camera got it out in the sun? Yellowish orange like the rest of the flock. Still hard to get her with her eyes open for a photo in the right light, but I held her up and flashed light in her eyes to confirm not gray. Her comb is also paler than...

    Interesting. So not 100% sure the coloring of my phone camera is correct, then she might have ocular Marek's disease? Yet none of her flock mates show any symptoms and it's supposed to be highly contagious? Even the cockerel that was lethargic the other day seems to be getting better every day.

    Lethargic 12 week old pullet

    So here she is in default state. Typically this is the most she will open her eyes: Here is the eye, close-up, but not much to see: As a reminder, she and her flock mates are being treated for both worms and coccidiosis, but she does not seem to be much better than a few days ago. Still...

    S.O.S. MY FRIEND GAVE ME EGGS TO EAT AND ONE IS PEEPING

    I can't even imagine how this would happen. Obviously these eggs were not just sitting on their counter. Did they just pull some eggs from under a broody hen?!? Maybe they gave you the eggs to eat...as chickens 16 weeks later!

    Lethargic 12 week old pullet

    Since I will be gone overnight, I've decided against taking them with me. The pullet is indeed still under the weather but the cockerel is doing much better than he was a few days ago, and I was really only going to take him so she would not be all by herself. I think the added stress of...

    is there any reason my pullet would've died?

    Ah, that makes sense. I've seen the dark colored water with some electrolyte mixes. The Corid dose usually doesn't darken it that much.

    is there any reason my pullet would've died?

    Is that water murky looking because of the Corid? Or is that an optical reflection of the siding next to the water? I would recommend a chicken waterer over that open dish. Sometimes I have an open dish for my free rangers but I dump it out and refresh the water frequently. If you are dosing...

    Dealing with a 1 year old rooster

    Not hating the idea, but where do you throw him? Too close to your flock(s) and would that not lead to predators knowing chickens are in the area?

    Lethargic 12 week old pullet

    Going to take the pair with me. They have a catio I built some time back in the shady back yard, the cat doesn't use it anymore. Going to be 96 for the next two days and humid, so I'd rather monitor them and make sure they have dewormer. Their flock mates aren't really showing any signs of...
