    Possibly Dealing with Corid Resistant Cocci.......Thoughts?

    Thank you Cathy! The other hen I was worried about seems to have recovered today, but I'm going to go ahead and order some meds to have on hand. Do you think the 4 surviving hens will be carriers? I still have them quarantined, and the ground they were on while infected fenced off.

    Possibly Dealing with Corid Resistant Cocci.......Thoughts?

    Good info. I wonder about all the use of medicated feed, and if that's helping to create resistance. I've never fed medicated to my chicks because of that concern.

    Possibly Dealing with Corid Resistant Cocci.......Thoughts?

    Thanks for the info! From what I'm reading, it seems like there are quite a few strains that are resistant to Corid.

    Possibly Dealing with Corid Resistant Cocci.......Thoughts?

    Hello All, I believe I may be dealing with a nasty strain of Corid resistant Cocci. The end of April I purchased a Mille Fleur d'Uccle rooster and added him to a flock of 9 MFd'U hens, ranging in age from 2-9 yrs. Right away I noticed the roo had diarrhea and was a little thin, but I thought...

    I actually do still breed them, though most of these birds have passed on. I don't ship though, sorry!

    In praise of elevated coops

    Agreed! After years of having an on the ground coop (pictured at right), I finally decided to upgrade. I built this coop almost entirely out of pallets, so didn't cost too many $$$. Biggest perks for me: No Runnoff wetting the bedding every time it rains, and it's for the most part rat proof!

    How much do you charge per dozen? And location

    $5 a dozen currently. I'm in east TN. Birds are fed non GMO feed, and moved every few days to fresh pasture. While selling eggs is a small % of my income, I think it's really important to not undercut people who are trying to make a living from their birds. I go with the general rule of thumb to...

    Tennessee

    Tellico Plains/Madisonville TN here, so probably a bit far for you. I'll have Mille Fleur d'Uccle, Blue Birchin Maran, Lavender Orpington, and Easter Egger hatching eggs available around March 1.

    I'm Sending Feed to be Analyzed

    Following along. I had never heard of the ''tampered feed'' theory before today. Interested in the results of your study.

    Egg bound hen with damaged vent

    Just finished reading this thread. Lots of good info regarding how to remove a broken egg! Sorry that you ended up losing her! You did all you could. :hugs I just had this exact some thing happen to a hen a few weeks ago. Thankfully she was not laying, but she had the same kind of crusty vent...

    Rescued this fine young man after somebody dumped him

    I would say he's probably a mix, or a hatchery quality Delaware. Glad you found him. People dump animals around my area a lot too. Makes me mad!

    First time Broody

    First, I just want to say that the sitting in her little nest on your desk is adorable. :love Is she a full time house chicken? Probably just removing the next and eggs will break her.

    3am Wake Up Call

    Could you maybe post a photo of the injured leg? My guess is, from your description of the scene, is that something might have tried to grab one of her legs. Raccoons, Weasels, and other small predators are known to reach through chicken wire and grab birds by the legs. But you also mentioned...
