I'm not an expert, but coccidiosis seems to be the most common cause of blood in poop according to a quick google search. Corid or Sulmet both could be used to help cure them. I hope the Corid is working for the rest of your flock. In the meantime, keep the coop as clean as you can and give...

Thank you for your responses! I don't have Corid, but I do have Sulmet, so I put some in their water last night and will do so for the next few days. I found the rooster also had bloody poop this morning, so I'm glad I sought out your advice!

My guess is that this is shed intestinal lining rather than cocci or worms, but your thoughts on this picture are appreciated! This is the second morning in a row I have found blood. Yesterday the blood appeared to have a little bit of hamburger-like consistency. I have a flock of 5 Buff...

This is very difficult to do, but I feel an obligation to everyone who read my post, watched my videos, and offered suggestions for how to help Henry. Nothing was helping him get better, so I finally found a vet who treated chickens and took Henry for an appointment. Her diagnosis is that it...

Oh, I also ordered Valbazen to have on stock for the next round of worming.

Thank you. I appreciate your support!

An update on Henry: after 5 days on Safe Guard, and 3 days on low dose prednisone and vitamins/electrolytes, I have noticed some improvement, but the head shaking and unsteadiness are still occurring. However, he does seem a bit stronger, he is preening more, showing interest in the hens, and...

Henry just had his first dose of Safe Guard undiluted. I'll let you know how he does. Thanks for all the advice!

Nambroth, I had seen these pictures before and thought they were very helpful. With my husband's help, I can probably get one dose orally a day in Henry for 5 days, but that is probably his limit.

I went to the store but the only Valbazen was large quantity and very expensive. I'll order the smaller amount online. In the meantime, I discovered I had Safe Guard on hand and added 3 ML/gallon to their water this morning. I was planning to do that for about 4 days. Kathy, if I am reading...

I'll go to the feed store today and look for Valbazen while continuing with the vitamins for Crook Neck. If I don't see improvement, I may try low dose Prednisone which I happen to have on hand. I've read in the forums some have had success with that but I understand it must be used very...

I'll look for Valbazen, and if I can't find it locally, I'll order it online. Thanks to both for the advice. It sounds like I give it to them straight, not diluted?

Do you have a suggestion of worming medication?

Thank you for posting a link to the video and for your feedback. He doesn't seem like a sick bird, but there is something wrong I can't figure out. I'll add selenium and keep up with vitamins B and E. He loves the breakfast egg, and I forgot to mention I also give him sunflower seeds...

Since the video is taking some time to post, you can find it on youtube by searching ken bilderback/henry shaking. Any feedback is welcome. Thank you.

Here is a link to a youtube video:

Thanks for the response. He is a very sweet boy, and I am trying to post a video so everyone can see the behavior that is causing my concern.

Here is Henry shaking his head, and a little bit of him staggering.

Hello, I have a 2 1/2 year old buff orpington rooster adopted at 9 weeks old. He was hatched from a backyard flock, so I suspect he may not have been immunized. Ever since about 6 - 8 months of age, he has been staggering, unsteady, and shaking his head. During his molt this year, his...
