Okay so you have to read this. I was mowing the lawn and one of my americaunas who is only 2 and perfectly seemingly healthy and had just been eating treats with the rest of the group, RACES past me like a bat out of Hell..... Seriously, she literally ran faster than any chicken I have ever...

I initially thought of egg bound for the first one, but, it didn't seem to fit, she lasted like that for a LONG time, weeks, until we had to cull her. If she makes it, I will try to post picks or video tomorrow...she seems to be worse off as far as standing than the first, BUT, pushes herself...

I appreciate your reply. There was a case of gleet in another chicken 2 months ago or so but very different symptoms. I haven't introduced anyone new and they have all been checked for mites, lice, etc. no one has any symptoms of feather issues, food issues, etc, etc. They all look great...

please please please take the time to read....I really need to know if I am dealing with some type of disease or a huge coincidence. I am hoping this is a coincidence, but, finding it hard to believe....I have had chickens for years and never seen this and now it has happened to two chickens in...

so sorry...that does seem to be the outcome eventually from many of these posts...it was our outcome 2 months later as well after two bouts. You tried though and that is what matters

this does help very much thank you as a yeast infection does make sense. That can spread too and that could be why just her and the two or three others because if they shared a roost at some point, that would be why it didn't spread to everyone. The black gritty stuff spreading up all and down...

One of my girls (and possibly a couple others) had what looked like a giant spot of diarrhea on her vent feathers. I flipped her upside down and it was GRITTY, Grainy, black SMELLY! poo or ooze or something covering all down under her vent out towards the leg feathers and all up above her vent...

what about this "worm die off" killing the chickens that I keep reading people post about? Does that happen often? I would hate to kill them :(

I have a bunch of girls with really runny white butts and I haven't wormed since last fall so think it is time. I wormed last fall with Wazine and eprinex I think. I researched a month ago and went and got Ivermectin Pour on 5mg and fenbendazole as this was what was most recommended and then...

can you give the dosage of the valbazen

thank you all very much as I will save this thread for the future as well. Wish me luck working tomorrow Everyone is saying that they do not egg hold...why is that? Just curious. Thanks again for taking the time.

crap! now what do I do? I just did Wazine 2 weeks ago and wanted to followup with an EASY way to do 38 chickens...I thought that the Eprinex was just a water dose. What do I do with the Eprinex then? pour some on each back? Egg hold? ugggg.....

Sorry to double post, but, the earlier post I said it was NOT pour on, but it is....see my response...any help is so appreciated: ....it is the ivomec Eprinex Pour-on for Beef and Dairy Cattle containing 5 mg eprinomectin/ml. I know that people have posted to pour it on to the chicken, BUT, I...

woooooooooooops. correction.....CORRECTION....it is the ivomec Eprinex Pour-on for Beef and Dairy Cattle containing 5 mg eprinomectin/ml. I know that people have posted to pour it on to the chicken, BUT, I also know that I was instructed last year how to use it in their water.

sorry....chickens
