we got the liquid corid. The 2nd chicken died this afternoon and no other chickens show any signs of sickness as of now. I cleaned the coop. I do nto think they have worms but might as well try.
I searched coccidiosis and that is what t sounds like they have. The coop is clean and dry but lately with the thawing the run has been damp and muddy in a small area. My husband is picking up some corid and I bought some DE to worm them. My little leghorn isn't drinking at all today, she did...
In the last 3 days I have had 2 sick chickens, 1 of them already died and the 2nd is well on her way. 1 leghorn and 1 red mix. I noticed the red was kind of standing alone in the corner one night but did not think much of it at first, she was a visibly good looking bird except a little molting...
I had a white leghorn who developed Bumblefoot a few months ago- until then I had never even heard of it. I brought her in the house and soaked her feet in Epsom salts 2x a day for nearly 2 weeks- I applied Silver sulfadiazine after every soak and wrapped her foot in vet wrap tape, she stayed...

I have a 26 week old Rooster who has become so mean that I feel like I have no other option but give him away or eat him. He does a great job protecting but I cant get to my hens at all and they are very social sweet flock. anything I can do? He just started this! he is crazy acting!!
Thank you! he is pretty well behaved most of the time. He never gives me trouble but starts squawking and wing flapping as soon as my hubby comes around- ! he is a happy boy:)
