Mareks is more common then a lot of people realize. I have researched and discovered it’s in 80% of flocks worldwide. I have had mareks (necropsy tested) in my flock for 7+ years. I have some that are silent carriers that have lived with it for 5 years but they eventually succumb to it. It...
I’ve had some weird poop showing up in my flock. Flock ages range from 2-5 years of age. Everyone has had this weird light colored cecal poop. They also had purple combs and respiratory issues so I put them on oxytet seemed to clear up but came back after medicine treatment. Then I tried a few...
Mine are passing poop just like this. They have respiratory and purple combs. Oxytet cleared some of it up but the poop still looks really off. What happened with your flock? Did you find out what was causing this?
Kathy had the valbezen dose changed? Is it still 1/4 cc for bantams, 1/2 cc for standard, 3/4 cc for larger breeds? Repeated every 10 days until they are clear?
Lab tests came back round worm eggs but I can clearly see tape segments also in every dropping.
Thank you!
Thanks Kathy for letting me know. The label says .5 ml for 25lb goat. Can chickens handle a lot of this stuff then? And this is straight from the bottle not a drench right? Sure seems like I would be giving a large amount at that rate for my 8 lb rooster for instance.
Before I heard back on...

Is the dosage for tylosin water soluble powder the same for all age chickens? I can't seem to find anything regarding a smaller chick dose versus adult chicken dose. The injectable is different for standard vs bantam size. Why wouldn't the water soluble kind have different dosage amounts based...
Update- I think the sour crop has cleared with the Monistat. But now the crop is very slow and she has really strong strange smelling poop. Almost a chemical smell. I've been trying to get her to eat as much as I can but she's losing weight since the crop isn't working properly. She's 10 months...
Yes, she was put on baytril injections for 10 days for what appeared to be pneumonia that came on very quick last month. The vet also checked stool at that time and there were no parasites. The sour crop came on from the antibiotics. She was doing better and but has seemed to relapse. Yesterday...
