    20 week old pullet laying two eggs AT ONCE

    Glad to read this. My barred rock (23 weeks today) laid her first egg April 3rd which was perfect. Then she laid another perfect egg the next day. A day or two later she laid a Shelless egg covered in egg yolk, so like she released another yolk that did t make it in. The next day, she just...

    Blood in poop, coccidiosis? Worms?

    One on my 2 year old hens is having these exact type of red spots on her urates in her morning poop. She is not sick and laying regularly. I see it once a week or so. How did this resolve for you?

    Red Jelly Blobs in Poop?

    Wondering if this ever resolved for you? I have two pullets (4 months old) that have been having these red blobs in their poop. I treated with two rounds of Corid, with TriSulfa, and we finished the first round of worming with safeguard (next dose happens next week). The blobs will go away and...

    Continued blood in stool

    How did this turn out for you? We are dealing with similar persistent blood in stool with one of our pullets and I’m thinking of treating with a sulfa drug.

    Return of Cocci ?

    Chiming in to ask how this resolved for you. We had a pullet who pooped blood last month and it resolved with Corid. She showed no other symptoms. Two weeks later she started pooping bright red gelatinous intestinal lining (no other symptoms) so we did Corid again for another week. She’s still...

    When to use sulfa for coccidiosis?

    Update from this morning after dropping Corid: do we think this is intestinal shed despite it’s color? It’s gelatinous and doesn’t stain the paper towel. I’ll look into getting a fecal test done. Again no other symptoms from the pullet despite these weird poops once a day.

    When to use sulfa for coccidiosis?

    Yes I do. I ordered it from Jedd’s.

    When to use sulfa for coccidiosis?

    Thanks. I suspect she has Eimeria tenella, as her only bloody poops were the Cecal ones. All her other poops were formed but her Cecals were extremely watery and bloody. That was three weeks ago.

    When to use sulfa for coccidiosis?

    I have two pullets we have been raising since they were 2 days old. Last month we noticed bloody poop from one of them. No other symptoms at all. Started Corid treatment right away (2 tsp per gallon) and treated everyone including 4 older hens. We also cleaned up their droppings daily (sand...

    Squishy crop, lethargy after hematoma (?) bled significantly

    I clearly didn’t proofread before I posted. This is Wobbles who is 1.5 years old and our absolute favorite hen who is more like a puppy than anything else. I’m May we noticed a bald spot on the right side of her comb which we assumed as a pecking issue because the top hen will peck her there at...

    Squishy crop, lethargy after hematoma (?) bled significantly

    Wanted to add that assuming she lost about a quarter cup of blood I’ve a four hour period. Maybe less but it seemed like a lot. Also, I have been giving her a drop of NutriDrench directly on the beak a few times a day.

    Squishy crop, lethargy after hematoma (?) bled significantly

    Yesterday I was shoveling and her head bump got nicked (there was a small scab there from the other hen pecking there I assume) and it started to bleed a terrifying amount. We tried everything staunch it -corn starch, a stop bleeding spray, finally after running to the store a second time and...

    Vet said to try Crop draining?

    Her breath smelled yeasty and now it smells terrible. She hasn’t laid in maybe a week. No history of soft shells but she is prone to going broody and we noticed that she was hanging out in the nest box more last week. Doctor doesn’t not think she is egg bound and her stool was negative for...

    Vet said to try Crop draining?

    We are struggling with a bacterial infection and sour crop in our 10 month old buff Orpington. We noticed her walking slower with soiled vent feathers on 11/3. The next day, I noticed her crop was squishy in the morning and she wasn’t eating so brought her inside. Checked her vent for egg (not...
