    Blue Azure unable to walk

    Here we are 2 weeks later. Bubbles stands straight up, uses wings for balance, her tail as a rudder and walks like penguin. She has come a long way.

    Blue Azure unable to walk

    In reading some of the associated posts with hens exhibiting the same symptoms, I can check off that she is not a victim of being bullied.

    Coccidiosis and ground treatment

    Thanks for replying. The vet confirmed it was coccidiosis with a decal sample I brought in. I lost that hen a few days later. This happened 2 months ago. They have not been dewormed with meds from the vet. I have added apple cider vinegar to their water the 2 times I saw worms in their stool...

    Coccidiosis and ground treatment

    Year 3 for my chickens. Up until 6 months ago, zero health issues. Lost 1 to Coccidiosis and now every 4 weeks or so, somebody gets it again. Unfortunately, I have become an expert on this. This morning, a hen wasn't running with the others to get their treats. I checked her butt and saw the...
