So I have been reading through the posts on preparing for winter and I still have a couple questions. Attached are some pictures of our coop and as you can see the hen house is on the smaller side. There will be five birds in the house over winter. From what I have read they should supply enough...

We are in Wyoming, in the event that we do lose another it would be great to find an answer. The local vet seemed confident that the bloody stool, despite a positive fecal, was coccidiosis. I have been questioning that since we lost more birds following treatment.
Again thank you for the feed...
First of all thank you for responding.
We have had fecals performed and they were negative for coccidia but chicks were not improving and we kept losing them (6 passed away), vet had us treat with Corid. After treatment we supplemented water with probiotics and electrolyte vitiamin powder. We...
We have one hen who was hatched in February and 4 younger birds hatched in May. We have been feeding a medicated chick starter thus far and have had to treat with Corid for coccidia. They just finished there third treatment (reoccuring bloody poop) and all seem healthy. It is time to buy another...

Can you hurt chicks by treating repeatedly with Corid? Two had what is considered a full treatment of 5 days of 9.6 ml/gallon and then after 2 weeks 3 more days. Now newly introduced bird has bloody poop. Will I hurt the other two if I start treatment again?
Unfortunately it could be an abcessed tooth root, even if the teeth look good there could be a infection above the gum line. If he was still eating j would say give it a bit, but cats need to eat or they can get really ill. You will need to have a radiograph to diagnosis or possibly a needle...
We have had a horrible time with our chickens we lost 8 from the feed store. Not sure what it was, see earlier post. Now we introduced 3from a friend 2 days ago and one of those just started having bloody poop. Ours were treated with Corid before ever being out in the coop any suggestions...
