    Polish hen mourning loss of flock mate?

    They were definitely buddies. They even slept next to each other in the roost.

    Polish hen mourning loss of flock mate?

    We kind of thought that too. But she doesn't put up a fight to other hens when they come in or to us when we reach in and she doesnt even sit on any eggs that are in the box. We keep her head feathers trimmed up so she can see.

    Polish hen mourning loss of flock mate?

    We have felt for a egg and dont feel anything in her abdomen and her vent looks normal. She's eating and drinking fine and not lethargic. When she is in the egg box we dont see her strain like she is trying to lay. She will let out a short growl as another hen comes in to lay but only one short...

    Polish hen mourning loss of flock mate?

    The two polish we had were near the top of the pecking order. The one that passed two weeks ago was in the top 3-5 and the polish that remains was probably #2 hen. Nobody ever messed with her before. I haven't seen any of the birds pick on her lately but we aren't home all day to watch them and...

    Polish hen mourning loss of flock mate?

    Quick back story, We have a mixed flock of 12 hens about 9 months old, 3 of which were polish. One polish passed from MG at about 4 months old. The 2nd passed just two weeks ago from complications of coccidia. The rest of the flock wasnt showing signs of coccidia but we treated them anyway...

    Albon and fenbendazole panacur for coccidiosis

    Yes we can separate her. We gave her probiotics while giving her the medications. If she does have a secondary infection is there a different antibiotic we can get that you would recommend?

    Albon and fenbendazole panacur for coccidiosis

    Ok i didnt know how contagious those two bacteria is and if the rest of the flock would have it. We got all of the albon done (5 days). We started the SMZTMP a couple days after we started the albon and probably only got 3.5-4 days out of the 7 days the vet gave us. As she started feeling better...

    Albon and fenbendazole panacur for coccidiosis

    @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive you guys have been such great help. Bacteria tests came back for E. Coli and proteus mirabilis. We tried to treat her with the full dose of antibiotics from the vet. But as she felt better and got more active, giving drops of antibiotic to the beak became impossible and...

    Albon and fenbendazole panacur for coccidiosis

    Ok thank you for the clarification on all that. I'm thinking since we have been treating her with SMZ TMP and albon we don't need to treat her with the corid water that the rest of the flock is getting, correct? Side bar question. Any idea when her regular appetite will come back? Or how to get...

    Albon and fenbendazole panacur for coccidiosis

    Sorry I probably wasn't specific on how the medicines were given. Albon and Fenbendazole as wormers were once daily, they came in syringes already prefilled and we were suppose to give them as drops to her beak. The smz-tmp as a antibiotic every 12 hours also in a syringe we drop into her...

    Albon and fenbendazole panacur for coccidiosis

    Interesting, the vet gave us 4 different bottles with different labels. One was Fenbendazole for 3 days as a dewormer, one was albon for 5 days also as a dewormer, one was smz-tmp for 7 days as a antibiotic, and also gave us meloxicam for 5 days as a pain/anti-inflammatory. All were in syringes...

    Albon and fenbendazole panacur for coccidiosis

    Should she be on the corid water as well or no?

    Albon and fenbendazole panacur for coccidiosis

    We have been keeping her inside at night. Only let them out in the yard together and in a separate part of the coop by herself when we are gone during the day. Only thing left we are giving her (or trying to give her when she cooperates) is the smztmp. We just started the rest of the flock on...

    Albon and fenbendazole panacur for coccidiosis

    The antibiotic is smz-tmp. The albon was for 5 days the Fenbendazole was 3 days. Also suggested we treat the rest of the flock with amprolium. Would it be bad if the one we took to the vet and gave the meds to also drank the water with the amprolium?
