The next day in the same nesting box there was an egg that did not have much of a shell. I'm not sure if it was the same hen. None of my chickens look or act sick right now. Thanks for the information.
She does not have any signs or symptoms of any respiratory infection. She is a little thin. I will de-worm in the morning. Thank you for the suggestions.
She is a year old and no she has lived with the rest of the flock that I bought at the same time. No new birds added. She is puffing up but she does not have diarrhea. I will check her crop in the morning.
My little black silkie has been listless for the past 3 days. I thought she was cold so I brought her in the house last night. Other than being listless and stumbling; she has no other symptoms. She seems to have a good appetite when you wake her up, she immediately starts to eat. Here is a...
I have a question about routine de-worming products. How often should I de-worm my chickens? I de-worm my horses 4 times a year. What medication should I use and should I rotate products like I do with the horses? I searched for Flubenvet but cannot find it in the USA. Is there something else I...
Finally! She is well again! She has been back with the flock since Friday and has simulated back into their "graces". No more diarrhea or lethargy. She is back to acting like a normal chicken. Thank you so much for all the help. You have helped me save her life!
After two days of eating and normal poop, she started having diarrhea again and she is lethargic and not eating much at all.
I know this is kinda graphic.
I started tube feeding again with the baby bird food. I already de-wormed with Safeguard. She already had a course of Flagyl (that's when...
Yes it was.. The flagyl gave her diarrhea all over again. I gave her probiotics with yogurt and she is fine today. Eating real good! I kept her in again because it is getting rather cold tonight (for us in north Florida) 30 degrees with wind chill 20s. If it warms up tomorrow, I'll put her out...
I actually put her back out with the other chickens but ended up bringing her back in the afternoon. She was still kinda lethargic but no more diarrhea. She is eating a little but not enough. I fed her the Kaytee baby chick food when I got home from work around 8pm. She is eating kale and...
I started her on antibiotic flagyl Saturday night; 250 mg. I also got some of the Kaytee baby chick food and mixed the dose with the food and tube fed. Today she started to eat regular food and drink water. Her poop is more solid. I can't thank everyone on this forum enough for all the helpful...
Yes, I got the Corid at Tractor Supply. I got the powder form and mixed it per directions. Should I give 1ml tid or give it free supply in drinking water? I mixed it up and put it out for the rest of the flock drinking water, even though they are not sick. Was this right to do? Also, I noticed...
