    MG? Coryza?

    Yes after some research i knew that her symptoms should resolve, but she’ll still be a carrier and her symptoms could return during stress or weather changes. What I couldn’t find in my minimal research was ways to clean her, how long to isolate her, and how to disinfect my permanent coop/run...

    MG? Coryza?

    Either would be an option. But if anyone has experience and can give me advice on how to treat at home, that would be preferable.

    MG? Coryza?

    Is my girl menstruating?

    They’re not the best pictures but they’re the only “good” ones I could find in the coop. I did get the Corid (amprolium) solution for coccidiosis for their water. So hopefully that will help. Can’t hurt, right?

    Tips for helping chickens live a long, healthy life?

    Another user suggested that I use amprolium, I am stopping at my local Tractor Supply on the way home to get some. I found some blood clots that looked like menstruation blood. However, said user said that chickens do not menstruate. So they suggested it might be coccidiosis by the description.

    Is my girl menstruating?

    Thank you! Do I just put this in the water? And can all of them use it as a preventative?

    Tips for helping chickens live a long, healthy life?

    Is the worming process done at home or vet? I'm new to the chicken raising world. And how do you suspect worms? Can probiotics help treat or prevent coccidosis?
