    Young cockerel with tail down

    The coop he is in only has two other birds with him (one a week younger who I'm unsure of the sex, and a pullet who is very motherly to both who is 14 weeks). However when they are out of the coops all the birds are together so I thought it could be due to the fact that someone ruffled his...

    Young cockerel with tail down

    He had a brief moment of weakness on Tuesday after the one passed as I kicked everyone out of their coops to do a deep clean but he perked up and was walking around fine with the others so I thought I could've just rudely awaken him when I kicked him out to clean. Not sure though, I am just on...

    Young cockerel with tail down

    Just to add I did have another cockerel pass away on Tuesday who I had sent in for a necropsy immediately who was found to be emaciated which I was told as long as all my other birds feel like a healthy weight it was due to being bullied by the other birds as there was no sign of anything...

    Young cockerel with tail down

    Exactly, they are everywhere, it's nuts! Doesn't matter how much you clean/prevent/treat in some cases mother nature has other harsh plans 😔 I remain hopeful for both of us though 💓 the strong will prevail!

    Blood tinged poop PLEASE HELP!!!

    I did also put oil of oregano in their water this morning as I was waiting to go to vet and hopefully with a med etc., And I did notice when I came back to give them the baycox they all seemed to have more energy and were bolting around a lot more, I'm thinking of implementing giving them some...

    Blood tinged poop PLEASE HELP!!!

    I am in Canada which unfortunately we have WAY TOO MANY restrictions on everything for purchase. It's been a really bad year here for cocci (so much rain) my vet told me I was the fifth case this week... I am fortunate as I haven't lost anyone yet so I'm hopeful but am prepared for the worst...

    Disinfecting the coop

    Hi! I am curious what everyone uses to disinfect their coops after outbreaks especially coccidiosis. I was told to use bleach but have been reading a lot that it's ineffective? Is ammonia the best to use? The floor and walls are wood....

    Blood tinged poop PLEASE HELP!!!

    Update! I was able to get a sample to the vet and she was very helpful, advised to baycox whole flock as vaccine works more like a flu shot than a vaccine and doesn't work for all strains. I am wondering if anyone can tell me best solution to use to disinfect the coop? Ammonia? I've been told to...

    Also wondering if I should be worried about the whole flock or just the two new ones that haven't been vaccinated?
