I use to follow this group years ago but when we no longer had chickens stopped following. I am back again and glad to have chickens again. And have some ducks now too

I had two roos together for two years and they did fine. However, I had a lot of hens and alot of room. This is not the norm. Once they start the fighting, it will not stop until one of them submits or is dead. And even if he does submit, the other may not leave him alone. You need to...

Thank you for the information. I am not sure what is going on. Everyone is doing well except for the rooster and he has improved some. I added the Corid today and will see what happens. Nothing respiratory at the moment thank goodness Nicki

It is a liquid and there is nothing listed on it. I beleive the treatment is for 5 days. Just dont know how long to not eat the eggs nicki

He is still about the same tonight. Not really eating or drinking unless I make him. Not as lethargic as yesterday, but still not himself. Going to clean out all the waterers and everyone is getting Corid. Saw a couple of others with abnormal poo. Thank you for the poo chart. His is not...

He seems better today. He is up and moving around. Not wanting me to handle him. yesterday he did not fight me at all. His poo is a creamy off white in color. Minimal green. The green does remind me of bile. His comb is bright red. They have been free ranging. My chickens have free...

From everything I am reading, it sounds like he might have cocodois. I was thinking of treating the entire flock. I do have him separated. I looked at a couple of the other chickens this morning and a couple look like they have loose stool base on what I see on their feathers. They are...

Luke, you did a great job. I have saved a few chickens that would normally of been culled. One was blind and lived a very long life. It is a personal choice that you have to be able to live with. I have also culled some chickens because I felt it was the humane thing to do. See how she gets...

If I treat with Corid, what is the amount of time that eggs will not be edible? I have read and re-read posts and this is the only thing that makes any sense. Nicki

Thanks for the information. I actually posted this yesterday and got nothing so bumped it today. He feels good and warm. I am in Texas and the weather has been warm here. He is in reach or water and food. I am worried that this is something that is going to affect my whole flock and if...

Preparation H works well sometimes too. Nicki

Seriously, no one is willing to give me any input or advice? I have lurked on this site for months. Reading all of the advice people give. The one time I ask for help, I get nothing. I guess I have to say my feelings are really hurt. Nicki

Change in symptoms. He now has very loose pale yellowish/white stool with a little green in it. More lethargic than yesterday. Gave him water via syringe and a little egg yolk and yogurt. He does not have much interest in it. I have him isolated from the others. All the stores are closed...

I really at a loss as to what to do. Have had chickens now for over 4 years and have never had anything like this happen. These guys are all about a year old. I hatched them last year this time. Researching threads and hoping to find something

Anyone with any ideas?
