    Help! Sleepy and lethargic chicken

    Alright, so I bought the decolorized iodine and co flex on Sunday and will put it on her foot later today. However, since your posts, I bought epsom salt and have been doing ten minute soaks every morning. She still doesn't like the spa treatment, but her temperament is good. Before I apply the...

    Help! Sleepy and lethargic chicken

    Okay, sorry it took so long to get back to you. It was raining for a few days, so I couldn't do much for the chickens. Firstly, Frosty's temperament is starting to look up since the Corid. She still doesn't like standing or walking, but is spending more times out with the others. Secondly, I...

    Help! Sleepy and lethargic chicken

    Okay, so I am still yet to get the roundworm anti-parasitic and the epsom salt, but I've been doing some research about her feet and it looks like it might be bumblefoot. I don't see any defined scabs, but I also haven't washed her feet yet. However, I read that it doesn't just stem from cuts...

    Help! Sleepy and lethargic chicken

    Alright, thank you. I'll go back to the feedstore on Friday and see what I think will do best. I do like the idea of oral, because I know she's getting it and it'll be just for her. As for the feet, we do not have any epsom salts at home, so I'll have to buy those later, too. No, I haven't had...

    Help! Sleepy and lethargic chicken

    How should I ventilate this coop?

    Thanks for all the replies! I will look into roof vents, but the upper sides would be easier to cut through.

    How should I ventilate this coop?

    @aart Sorry it took a bit to get back to you, I had to wait for the rain to stop. Anyway, the dimensions are as follows; 21-22" wide, 24" long without nest box, 36" with nest box and 32" high at highest roof point. The roost is stupid and was not mentioned when I bought it, but it sits at barely...

    Help! Sleepy and lethargic chicken

    The vet recommended what you guys did, the Corid (though he called it amprolium, since Corid is probably a brand name). He did not mention what helminth she had, and said that it could just be environmental contamination (since the poop was cleaned up off the ground). He sent me the info in an...

    Help! Sleepy and lethargic chicken

    Alright! So, the vet was able to do a fecal test without needing to see her, I did not get the Corid as a preventative because we couldn't afford that and the test. The test came back positive for Coccidia and Helminths. The vet gave me an article explaining it all, and the treatments I could...

    When you want to play in the yard but it won't stop raining

    Title and picture says it all. They're acting like the door is shut because they don't like playing in the rain.

    Greetings fellow chicken lovers!

    Hello everybody! I found this forum after looking up chicken diseases (because one of my lovely ladies is sick) and decided to create an account for help since she didn't seem to match anything. She most likely has parasites and her poop is being looked at by the vet as we speak. I am not new...

    How should I ventilate this coop?

    @ChickenCanoe Thanks for the reply! I have three Easter egger chickens. The coop has two openings, the nest box door and the one they use to get in and out. The nest box door stays closed only when I open it and the other one stays open when they are outside. Yes, that is exactly what I've been...
