    Squishy crop, yellow liquidy poop

    Hi everyone. Apologies for the delay. She was able to make it down from her roost yesterday and looks to be more active. I saw a few more dried white poops but when at the vet, 2 of her 3 poops looked normal brown. She is getting a poop swab exam for parasites and is also on carprofen for next 7...

    Squishy crop, yellow liquidy poop

    I was able to get them crushed oyster shell and made sure they had a few pieces before dark. She ate a bit of wet food but did not get a chance to give her human calcium or the egg. She did perk up a bit but still takes breaks and lays down a few minutes before going back. Her poop is still...

They have a grit station and I also let them out for an hour or two daily. I have not given calcium just yet and...

I did see a few more poops which worry me specially the looser yellow one and the one with blood. Blood is a lot less but not sure if it would still confirm coccidiosis. This is...

    Bloody poop

    Thanks. I have liquid corid on hand and started the whole flock Saturday afternoon (.5 tsb per quart of water). This morning I did notice a lot bigger blood dropping and what looks to be the start of another chicken. Should I quarantine and separate out? I also let out the flock out of their run...

This morning I did notice a lot bigger blood droppings and what looks to be maybe another chicken about to start. Would it be best to start a quarantine. I also let them out of their...

    Bloody poop

    Coop is open with an attached run. Since it’s 5x12, I usually clean out the pine shavings every 4-5 days. The whole structure is currently on a concrete slab with about half covered with pine shavings till I can find a more permanent place on dirt. Water is changed out daily and sometime twice a...

    Thank you for the reply. I’ll get them started on corid. Is the liquid corid 9.6% fine? the vet did not check her fecal matter but the sick chick is still with them. Should I request a float?
