    Continued diarrhea and lethargic...

    Hi, it takes a long time for chickens to come back from coccidiosis. Do not expect big results overnight. Keep her high on proteins and low on calcium if she does not lay eggs which is probably unlikely now. (no layer feed for now) If you notice bright green diarrhea turning darker and hopefully...

    Yellow diarrhea despite treatment- help

    Yellow diarrhea and sudden death that is probably peritonitis - egg yolk infection in the agnomen. Blocked egg yolks in the reproductive track decay also producing that eggnog-looking discharge. Chickens die within 2 days because nasty bacteria from decaying egg yolk attacks their organs. This...

    Continued diarrhea and lethargic...

    Please forget the yogurt and especially meat. Meat might be OK for chickens in perfect condition but for the ones with issues it is a no-no. If a chicken has a slow crop, sour crop or compacted crop that meat will stay in the crop and rot and a nasty bacterial infection will follow which might...

    Continued diarrhea and lethargic...

    Hi, heavy molting is something that happens when a chicken is starving - coccidia starves chickens. In fact induced molting is a practice in the industry to force chickens to molt by withholding food for up to a week which is a cruel practice. Corrid does not cause heavy molting. Amplorium...

    Continued diarrhea and lethargic...

    Classic coccidia infection. Isolate in warm place. Buy Corid (amplorium) ASAP and mix with drinking water. This water must be the ONLY drinking water the chicken can drink. Treat for 5 to 7 days and repeat the treatment in 9 days. Feed with MEDICATED starter feed for chicks (medicated means it...

    Severe Bulge Under Chicken's Vent (Pictures) PLEASE HELP!

    Ascites -"water belly". One overlooked cause are parasites. Could be more serious health problems too but parasites will actually destroy guts and cause fluid leakage to the abdomen. Send immediately poop sample to an avian lab to rule out or confirm parasite infection which are quite common...

    Several In Flock Exhibiting Swollen Feet

    Either gout or arthritis. Gout can be from too much calcium in feed. Arthritis from keeping chickens on cold, wet ground. If chickens do not lay eggs they should not be on layer feed. Chickens come from warm forests in Asia. They are not a contest how much cold they can take. An elephant does...

    Clostridium and length of treatment with Tylan 200

    Not bad chicken run. It only needs a row of very inexpensive 12X12" pavers around the parameter so predators do not dig under the walls.

    Liquid Food (emergency)

    Compacted (impacted) crop is an emergency. Food is not going through and stays in the crop. Chicken is hungry but the crop is full. There is a blockage somewhere in the track or chicken has eaten something like tough grass, straw or even carpet strands. Those bind in the crop. In this situation...

    Chanca Piedra liquid for my rooster's gout

    Gout in rooster is from keeping him on layer food. Too much calcium turning into uric acid which attacks joints and also internal organs. People need to read fine print on feed packaging. LAYER FEED IS ONLY FOR LAYING HENS, NEVER FOR ROOSTERS OR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY LAY.

    Watery GREEN POOP- DESPERATE- third SICK!

    Boomblefoot is a terrible condition that leads to many other problems. Vets (and owners) make huge mistake that they do not do lab tests but assume it is only bacterial. Bumblefoot can also contain fungus and no amount of antibiotics will do any good. So you have to know exactly what is the...
