5 week old chickens dying... no signs!
I don't know if it makes a difference but the earlier coccidiosus was in a group of 4 that we hatched in January. We lost one and the other 3 pulled through after a few days of antibiotics and water. The group that is dying now came through the mail and a few came from Tractor Supply. The ones...- BSFocht

5 week old chickens dying... no signs!
I will also make sure I mix some grit into their food tomorrow! :) Still learning and I feel so bad when what I don't know causes a death.- BSFocht

5 week old chickens dying... no signs!
I went out and treated the water with antibiotics and vitamins. We have lost one teenager before from coccidiosis but this didn't look like that. With them only being outdoors for two days I would think we would have seen bloody diarrhea in the garage and there isn't any. Hopefully whatever...- BSFocht

Oh... and they are free range within a fenced in area. The pullets fly over and go free range but my hens stay within the fence lines.- BSFocht

No Eggs for 5 days
We were told the Buffs are a year old. I do not know how old the Barred Rocks are. We did have a cold snap but we are in Florida so it didn't last long. :)- BSFocht

No Eggs for 5 days
We are new to chickens. I have a flock of 13. 8 of these are pullets that are not laying yet. I have 2 Buff Orpington hens and 2 Barred Rock hens. The Buffs I think have only laid one egg in the 2 weeks we have had them. The Barred hens have laid eggs about 1 a day between them for the same...- BSFocht
