    Chick, not growing, loose stools, lethargic, gurgling crop

    So what do you do if you find one is not growing well? Yet another chick from the same batch has stalled in growth. It weighs in at 91g, while it's peers are in the 150 -160g range. It is also one step behind in feather development, and has more cecal type stools than regular formed stools. We...

    Introduction

    I have had chickens for 4 years now. We purchased 8 ready to lay Barred Rock hens from a local farm. In the last 2 years we have lost 3 of them to various health issues. I've had many pets over the years, and even hand raised a few orphan babies, and never had the problems I've had with Back...

    Chick, not growing, loose stools, lethargic, gurgling crop

    Thank you. I hope the rest of my chick raising experience is drama free.

    I went in to weigh her and she had died. I'm having a terrible time. I lost a chick 2 weeks ago when I first got them, I lost 4 year old hen earlier this week, and now this chick. Should I continue to treat the other chicks with Corid, even though they show no symptoms?

    Chick, not growing, loose stools, lethargic, gurgling crop

    I have a 2 week old Barred Rock chick, who is the same size as the one week old chicks. She has always slept more than the others and had loose stool, when I've seen her go. I've had to clean her bottom a few times. They are fed fermented organic feed and have had vitamins and electrolytes in...
