    Coccidiosis still a problem

    Hi, I was advised to deep clean the coop with quicklime and pour equal amount of water on it. The bubbles that appear are suppose to burn everything bad off.. parasites, funghi etc.. Once dry that should not affect the hens (during the cleaning of course you have to get them out). It worked in...

    3 month old Polish roo anemic and suddenly blind

    Hi, I'm sorry to say that he passed away. He was fine in the evening and in the morning we found him in a very bad shape, so we put him to sleep. My vet said it was probably irreversible brain damage. Steriods made a lot of difference but he never started eating on his own again, nor did he...

    3 month old Polish roo anemic and suddenly blind

    Hello, we started giving him one drop of Betametason (our vet suggested it to see if it would reduce swelling where it got pecked). Both of his eyes/ pupils are now very much responding to the light, he walks around without bumping into things which makes me think he can see enough to feel...

    3 month old Polish roo anemic and suddenly blind

    Hello, I am desperate for advice! Three days ago we found our 3 month old Polish all lethargic, sitting quietly in the middle of the coop. I brought him in and recognized he was anemic (pale wattles, crest, face, weak). My guess is that the grown up hens or other roosters did not let him eat...
