    Coccidiosis relapse?

    Thank you! I really appreciate that. I hadn't heard anything about Corid causing diarrhea. It is very watery, like a normal poop+a bunch of water. How long would it last? This is day 4 since I stopped Corid.

    Coccidiosis relapse?

    I have two week old chicks and just finished up with a round of Corid (6 days at full strength, one day at preventative dose. They were looking good, mostly normal poops of normal color, with a few occasionally loose/wet. It never presented as bloody, but yellow poops and lethargic/dehydrated...

    Fermented feed smells like...pickles??

    Possible salpingitis. Practical advice--e. Coli risk for humans?

    Thank you, those are great questions. We haven't seen any eggs positively attributable to her in over 6 weeks. We have been feeding a whole grain commercial layer feed. They have been picking through it, and we've been thinking the one who died first (the fussiest, pickiest hen in the flock)...

    Possible salpingitis. Practical advice--e. Coli risk for humans?

    Thanks!! Yup, we're scheduling a necropsy for tomorrow. Hopefully we can sort out what the rest of them need.

    Possible salpingitis. Practical advice--e. Coli risk for humans?

    Hey all, we have had a second chicken start acting ill. First one drank excessively, then stopped moving, eating and drinking, had green, then yellow poop, and slowly died. This one is an 10 month old green queen easter egger. She is lethargic, hunched, drinking CONSTANTLY, like 10oz in two...
