What wormer did you use. I wormed mine with Safeguard and only as a preventive measure. I did the first round and everything was fine, but after the second round I lost 3. I sent one off for a necropsy and it did test positive for coccidiosis. It just seems weird to me that all of a sudden to...
I lost 3 chickens in a 4 days. I had no idea what was going on. No bloody diarrhea & nothing I could see externally. I sent one off for a necropsy. Tested positive for coccidiosis. I'm treating the entire flock with Corid. But I have 1 who I don't think he's drinking the water. He's standing off...
I went out Friday night and noticed that my rooster was sitting off by himself. He appeared fine just sitting by himself. He did go in to roost that night sitting in his normal spot. When I got home Saturday evening he was dead. He was fine a few days before. Eating performing his roosterly...
Checked on mommy & babies yesterday only to find one looks like the skin was scraped off its little back. not quite sure what happened. i ended up talking all the babies from the hen. she kept pecking them and i was scared she would hurt them. never had a bad chicken mommy. anyway I put...
It for sure sounds like wet pox. It's a horrible horrible disease. Did you get a chance to vaccinate the rest? Good luck and I hope it doesn't spread. Just when you think you're done and everyone safe another one gets it. I've lost four now

Sorry it took so long to reply but my third hen just died from it yesterday. I got Chick N Pox and then Poxine for the booster. I have chicks under 6 weeks and they require a booster. I bought them from Jeffers and both vaccines and overnight shipping was just under $40. Not to bad...
Thanks, But it's too late. This morning she's laying on her side and barely breathing. I didn't know what else to do I knew she was weak, so I gave her pediasure mixed w/ olive oil & pro biotics. This morning nothing has emptied. I'm just going to take her to the vet and let them put her to...
Hen has wet pox tomorrow will be 2 weeks that she's had it. Her crop hasn't been emptying for several days now. At first it was a soft lump in her crop, and it had a sour smell so I stopped using pediasure to mix w/ her food. I thought maybe it was going bad from sitting in her crop. The smell...
It could be wet pox. We've had 3 get it. 2 started out w/ the open mouth breathing. Then they started to stretch out their necks to breath. I took the first one to the vet They put her down, and sent tissue samples off. Came back as wet pox. The 2nd hen to get it had the plague in the mouth...
Hen has wet pox tomorrow will be 2 weeks that she's had it. Have already lost 2. Did vaccinate rest of the flock this past Friday. I've been tube feeding as both eyes had been scabbed over and she's totally blind. She's nothing but a bone at this point. I've been feeding baby bird food mixed w/...
Thanks those were great threads and I did manage to do 3 feedings now. Just put down a hen w/ wet pox. She was stretching her neck out and breathing thru her mouth. The vet thought it was that infectious larangogitis (or something like that).I didn't think she did just because the neck thing &...
How do you tube feed a chicken. Every time I've tried force feeding one it comes out of the nostrils. I've got a chicken that one eye maybe missing and can't open the other, so I don't see how it will be able to eat or drink by itself. I had a chicken w/ wet pox put down on 09/27 is it safe to...
My hen was doing the exact same thing. Took her to the vet who thought it was that ILG ( or something like that). I didn't agree because her only symptom was stretching her neck out and breathing through her mouth. No discharge of any kind, but the vet said she really thought it was and that she...
Last night I notice a couple of chickens sneezing. We've had alot alot of rain this week.I put some Vet Rx in water to head off any trouble. I also notice that one of the houses they sleep in one corner was wet. It was late and couldn't do anything last night. Well this morning a hen was...
