    Post Coccidia?!

    I’ve recently treated my adult silkie hen for coccidiosis. I brought in a fecal and it was confirmed at the vet. I have treated her and the flock with Corid for 7 days. She still has watery poo.

    Corid dosing and supplements HELP

    I have an adult silkie hen that has coccidiosis. Online I read that bantams should have 1/2 tsp per gallon. I’m assuming that’s not enough as she seems to be declining. What’s the correct dose for an adult silkie? Also, she’s getting weaker and laying soft shelled eggs now. Is there something I...

    Are silkies late bloomers?

    I have 4 silkies that are the same age. One has developed wattles, comb and streamers and has crowed. I have 3 more that have no wattles and no real comb at this time. How likely is it that I have more Roos hiding in the flock that will be late bloomers? Thanks.

    Rooster is very ill, worms?

    I have a buff brahma rooster about 14 months old. about 4 weeks ago he has stopped crowing and loving on the ladies. I noticed his waddles have become very pale, leading me to believe he is anemic. he had a very healthy appetite though. i thought maybe due to molting since he is in a molt, not...
