That explains so much… I’ve had experience with vitamin b deficient birds. I ran out of the chickens feed so around the time my girls were acting a bit droopy post coccidosis I gave them pecans and green beans which I just learned are vitamin b rich foods- so that explains why today they are...
That’s interesting… I have to get my chickens more feed so I’ll pick up some dewormer. I will note it took 11 days of straight oral corid for Kiesha till she was eating and pooping normally again. So far their poops are semisolid and green. If I see yellow again I’ll hit them with another round...
I dunno about Ross but Kiesha was cleared of a bout of coccidosis a good few days ago. She was doing fine but now is weak again.
I had treated the whole flock with corid too
Hi I got these two and their other four siblings (they’re all different breeds but I call them siblings) from southern states I believe. I didn’t see any worms in their poop. I’ll check again but I didn’t see any mites either.
Well I am coming back with less thank pleasant news. Kiesha is back in chicken jail with weakness just like her sister Ross. The just get trampled by the other chickens and can’t get up without assistance. I brought Kiesha in last night. Both Ross and Kiesha are eating good, drinking, with...
Hi fam!
Kiesha has since been integrated back into her flock. Pecking order isn’t bad thankfully but now Ross seems to not be doing well. Ross is another pullet from my flock same age as Kiesha. She’s eating and drinking fine but this morning I found her toppled and got conserned. She’s still...
I cant phrase just how happy I am. Today marks day 11 of giving Kiesha corid and I daresay she’s back to her chaotic self! She finally made her first solid poops and they look a good brown-green color. No yellow or red. I’m so proud of her!!! I also started the rest of the bachelorette flock on...
Hello updates on Kiesha. I started her on corid and she’s currently on day three of the five. On the second day I noticed she was eating a little on her own as well as drinking water. Not yet her voracious self but a definite improvement!
She’s also been preening a bit. She continues to rest a...
This is my girl Kiesha. She’s a Blue Australorp and a little over 4 months old.
Yesterday I noticed her withdrawn from the others and not eating breakfast (their usual starter feed mixed with layer feed to start integrating them to adult food). This was unusual but I dismissed it as the pecking...
Hi I’m sorry-
We managed to find horse red cell yesterday and he took the medication no problem. His appetite was through the charts and he also drank water.
Unfortunately he didn’t make it through the night… we found that he had passed away when we went out this morning. My dad has already...
Hello,
The last couple of days my boy (with help standing up) got to stay standing and even take a few steps on his own without support. Yesterday he was doing his best in a long time turning and walking for short bits around the pen- lying down instead of just collapsing. Today he’s weak again...
