    Help! 2 Deaths in My Much-Loved Flock With A 3rd Now Sick.

    Hey guys! Wanted to give an update though it’s sad. We lost Romeo this morning. Got fecal back and its E. coli and another bacteria. This must sound ridiculous, but live in a very rural area and had just expanded our chicken yard to where it now enclosed the septic tank area (though we tried...

    Help! 2 Deaths in My Much-Loved Flock With A 3rd Now Sick.

    Guys, I appreciate your comments so much! Update on my rooster. He is in our bedroom now, he is still just staring with pupils dilated and doesn’t move when someone comes near him, which is very unlike him. Of course, his eyes are mostly closed, but when they are open, their pupils are dilated...

    Help! 2 Deaths in My Much-Loved Flock With A 3rd Now Sick.

    Thank you so much. We had a weird issue, some months back where several of our chickens died. We took in poop samples for each sick chicken and they all came back clear each time. They all died 6-8 weeks apart, and not all in the exact same timeframe. Maybe I should try again.

    Help! 2 Deaths in My Much-Loved Flock With A 3rd Now Sick.

    I live in Texas and I’ve looked into getting a necropsy before. It is quite expensive here. I will go out and smell the feed soon so I can rule that out. We are in all organic farm and we do not use any pesticides or anything of the kind on our grass or weeds. I would think heat stroke could be...

    Thanks so much. We formulate our own feed. It is essentially whole oat groats, whole peas, BOSS, sorghum, nutritional yeast, alfalfa or kelp, and some trace minerals added in. We either soak or ferment before feeding.

    2 nights ago, hubby locked up our birds and came to me saying a chicken had died. She was a lovely blue Marans named Bedelia. No warning signs or symptoms I had seen beforehand. Today, went out to gather eggs this morning and Rosemary had died sitting in her nesting box. She was a beautiful...

    Help, Strangest Poo I’ve Ever Seen in My Bantam Flock!

    Also, if one hen died 6 weeks ago from this, and another just last week, does that still sound like it could be coccidiosis? The strains of coccidiosis that I was familiar with previously were quick killers if no action was taken. But it just be that this is a strain that kills slowly?

    Help, Strangest Poo I’ve Ever Seen in My Bantam Flock!

    Hi! Thanks a bunch for your reply. I have sent birds in before for necropsies, but here where we live, it is very expensive. Our vet did say they were no worms before when the fecal was examined. Also, we have dealt with coccidiosis in our flock two or three times many years ago, and it always...

    Help, Strangest Poo I’ve Ever Seen in My Bantam Flock!

    Wow I really appreciate that info. I have given Colloidal Silver and at other times ACV (the good kind) for similar purposes. You think the copper sulphate does something more of different than these other two remedies? Thanks!

    Help, Strangest Poo I’ve Ever Seen in My Bantam Flock!

    Hello guys. We’ve been in the middle of a winter storm here this week. I went out to the bantam coop to find my 6 year old rooster Little Bleu (blue and white silkie) half dead. He was lethargic, hunched over, and wobbly when he walked, not to mention shivering. His crop was also empty in the...

    Silkie Rooster Unwell- White Diarrhea!

    I mentioned in the response to the other gal, but wanted to make sure I mentioned to you as well that we switched their food just this week to formulating it ourselves. Of course, we got direction on how to properly balance it all. Their poops have not changed though, and all the other chickens...

    Silkie Rooster Unwell- White Diarrhea!

    Thanks for your reply. I moved them inside 2 to 3 weeks ago to be with the rooster, but missed them so much. When I brought this hen inside, though, I realized how much weight she had lost, and that her poops were immediately like this upon bringing her inside. So she had had it before I just...

    Silkie Rooster Unwell- White Diarrhea!

    Thanks a bunch. I checked their crops first thing this morning and hers had not emptied! However, the other bantam hen in the group (2 hens 1 roo) has the same poop as the hen in question but her croo was empty this morning. So now, all three of them at some point has had this strange poop, but...
