    Egg laying after sickness

    We had some pullets start showing signs of coccidiosis, so the whole flock had to be treated. While that treatment was happening, some of my older (right at a year old) flock started showing signs of respiratory infection. We’ve finally got everyone feeling better, but it was literally over a...

    Egg laying after sickness

    Hi! We’ve had a crazy spring with sickness and my girls have drastically reduced their egg production. We went from approximately 15/16 (17 hens laying age) a day to maybe 4-6. Is there anything we can do to promote laying again? We do have two roosters, as well, so I want to be sure it’s...

    What’s going on with this eye?!

    Y’all. We have had a heck of a spring here. Coccidiosis treatment, upper respiratory, mystery illness, and now one of my RIR girls is walking around with her eye shut. She was fine this morning, but when I went out a couple of hours later, she was like this. Nothing else appears to be happening...

    Egg bound? HELP!

    She has laid before. All of my girls have slowed down drastically the last few weeks (all are right at a year old). Her crop felt squishy earlier and she hasn’t eaten in over 24hrs. I have Noticed what looks like just yolk in the next boxes but honestly attributed it to somebody pecking/eating...

    Egg bound? HELP!

    Ok, update! This is the poo we just got from her. Not the red thing. I think that’s just some stuff on the ground. Very little interest in drinking and eating.

    Egg bound? HELP!

    We had a younger pullet that was exhibiting symptoms of Corid, so we’ve been treating everyone. We’ve had a slew of health problems the last few weeks that we’ve never had 😭 I did massage her crop earlier just in case. It wasn’t hard and I didn’t smell anything that made me think sour crop. I...

    Egg bound? HELP!

    She eats Nutrena All Flock and gets scraps/treats plus gets some free range time. She was out foraging like normal last night. Can I do those vitamins while she’s being treated with Corid? Tomorrow is the last day of the round.

    Egg bound? HELP!

    My year old lavender Orpington was acting strange this morning. Just standing alone and staring. She is usually right up in my business and never turns down food, but she didn’t even acknowledge me. Brought her in for a soak, felt around, massaged, and nothing happened. When I went back to clean...

    What am I dealing with?! Coccidiosis or something respiratory??

    I attached that picture below. We started Corid yesterday afternoon before the respiratory symptoms started. They haven’t been getting out as much as I’d like but our neighbor has a lab puppy (about 8mos) that loves to come in our yard and chase our chickens :( They do have a very large run and...

    What am I dealing with?! Coccidiosis or something respiratory??

    We’re dealing with our first flock sickness. Oldest members just turned one and the youngest are around 9/10 weeks. Started Monday with noticing one of the newer pullets was acting off. Yesterday I observed bloody poo from her. We thought coccidiosis and started Corid. Now my older chickens are...

    Weird humming?

    A couple of my girls have been making a humming sound the last day or so. It’s pretty constant. I’m not sure if something is wrong or not. I just had to start treating for coccidiosis in the last 24 hours as well. Could it be related?? I’m kind of freaking out.

    Poop question

    Ok, got it! One gallon a day is enough for everyone? Flock of 23 total.

    Poop question

    I have her isolated, so should I treat just her? Or my whole flock since she’s been out in the same area with them? And any specific B complex? Thank you so much for your help!!
