    Mystery issues with my 14 week old pullet- 4 days and I’m stumped!

    Update: it was worms.

    When it rains it pours- I am seeing lethargy, diarrhea, and anemia in my grow outs. Things were trending better and now worse. Help!

    update: I found a roundworm under the roost. After the second round of treatment for worms we are finally back on track! Pullets in this group have started laying :)

    Still no idea what’s going on with my hens comb and growing black spots

    @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock my pullet is still eating and drinking, but her scabs have continued to spread. While some are lifting, her comb and wattles are basically entirely covered in the thick scabs and they have spread in a line down the front on her neck as well. Her crop area has a large...

    I did some searching and ended up giving her a heaping 1/8 of a tsp twice a day. Apparently that should land the dose somewhere on the low end of the range. I don’t have a way to give it it just her in water without dosing all the others in her pen, so that was the best information I could find.

    @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock Just an update- my pullet is still about the same. She does eat and drink well, but is still working on putting back on the weight she lost. She is on day 5 of amoxicillin now, twice a day. The scabs got much worse on her comb than pictured before they started to...

    Sorry I wasn’t very clear- the reason I’m confused is the amoxicillin package says a dose of”per gallon of water” but since I am only medicating her I am unsure how much to give her individually as a straight dose.

    Sorry the label says to mix into a gallon of water, so I’m not sure how much to give her directly as a single chicken dose.

    The amoxicillin arrives Thursday, but I am not sure how to dose it. It is a 20% powder. @Eggcessive or @Wyorp Rock any tips for dosing? With the vitaking respiratory mix (smz-tmp ,tylosin,doxycycline mix) I was doing 1/8 tsp twice a day. She seems more interested in food today which I’m...

    Still no idea what’s going on with my hens comb and growing black spots

    The edges of some of the scabs on her comb and wattles seem to be lifting now. The tissue underneath appears to be very pale, no bleeding. Not really seeing any changes under her vent yet, though. It’s still pretty yucky. She does seem to be up and about slightly more. Still pretty dragged...

    On the contrary I appreciate how thoroughly you’re trying to help me! No lesions or weird spots in her mouth/throat. I was using triple antibiotic because the lesions seemed very dry to me, but I stopped that two days ago and switched to silver honey. Should I go back to iodine? I have her on...

    It was 10% providine iodine- Rexall brand. And I also had triple antibiotic I was applying daily as well. She isn’t separated from the flock - I am hesitant to separate because I don’t have a great option for isolation and she’s very attached to the rooster and one other hen in the flock. But...

    I used iodine twice a day for about a week and didn’t see any improvement - I switched to silver honey yesterday in hopes it would help. I did end up giving her a soak and found more scabs at the base of her tail as well, the scabs also look less reddish brown after soaking- I think the color...

    I used a “horse fly spray” from Tractor Supply for the mite/lice spray. She had the scabs before I used the spray and they have t changed since using the spray. I actually noticed the couple of potential lice when I was treating the scabs. She had never been treated for mites or lice before-...

    @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock - I picked her up and she spit up crop contents on me, so I am treating for sour crop with monistat. She is still slowed down but not lethargic- she seems to be awake most of the time and does walk around a bit. She eats and drinks, but is noticeably losing weight. The...

    Im using permethrin (not sure if that’s the right spelling) for mites/lice. I did see what looked like potential lice last week- not severe just a few bugs (same day I found the additional scabs) and sprayed her then. I sprayed her again two days ago. I am not seeing anything moving around on...
