Thanks for your advice. I will look into all of the above. Thanks Sam

I've attached a couple of photos, included vent area, which is now clean! She is around 2 years old. She is drinking and eating fine, just not moving.

Thank you, I've just had a quick look into this. Do you knows if copper sulphate, without the Acidified, okay to use? .

Crop is fine. They are fed mainly layers pellets. None of the other symptoms you've mentioned. I've just googled vent gleet, her vent is messy as she has been mainly sitting for a few days, but no discharge. I'll bath her today. I'll get a photo of her. Thanks for your help. Sam

Hi, my chicken has been ill for a couple of days, she didn't move much at at all today, just sat in the coop. She has very bright yellow poo, treating with Amprolium as thought it may have been Cocccidiosis. She is sitting quite high, with a low tail. She is not egg bound, I checked for this...

18 months, he's been lovely until now, we had him from a chick. I've actually put him in a smaller run next to the main run. I'll keep him in for a week or so, then try him again, if he's still bad, he'll have to stay in there for a couple of month until they are fully grown.

Well, I locked him in a cage inside the hen run, for 5 days. New hens get on totally fine with original hens. He's just the same corners them, and just really aggressive continually pecks them. I have a hen house with a smallish run, that they are in at night, free range through the day...

Thanks for your reply. He's normally such a softy, so I was really surprised he attacked the new hens. But I'll isolate him for a few days in the run and hopefully that will help.

Hi, I have 7 mixed hens and one young Polish cockerel (18 month) I got 4 new POL hens around a week ago, one which didn't look too healthy. Had them in a separate run next to other run. Let them free range together after a couple of days, a few pecks from my ex battery hens, but nothing too...

Fabulous

Thanks, fingers crossed

Any thoughts on second one?!

That's what I'm thinking! What about 2nd one?!

They are coming up to 9 weeks now. The one I was hoping was a pullet seems to have a lot of red going on now. Second photo, hoping is pullet, it's top feathers are looking more rounded. Any ideas?

Thanks
