I tried making her vomit but it seemed like she couldn't breathe so I put her down and she started coughing, gurgling then she let out a huge baaakkkaaaaaaa with...

    A confusing case: can anyone give some insight?

    Thanks everyone for the replies! It took awhile to get back here but I do have a small update. As of yesterday, I noticed a small white wart like scab on one of my other chickens. I brought her in and took to the internet! They have Fowl Pox, well at least this one does. None of the other girls...

    A confusing case: can anyone give some insight?

    Black Austrolorp, just under 30 weeks. Started laying a month ago. About 3 months ago, I started noticing her holding her mouth open at night time on the roost. Not every night but maybe 2-3 nights a week. I thought about quarantine but the next morning she came running out, eating and drinking...

    Mallow weed toxic to chickens?

    @lazy gardener Haha, no worries. I always appreciate the advice. I'm still pretty new at this and learning everyday. Actually, I just tilled up an area of the paddock and my boyfriend is building chicken grazing boxes as we speak. Great minds think alike :clap however, I'm not sure if I want to...

    Mallow weed toxic to chickens?

    Sure, I understand that but my chickens are in a 40x50 paddock area and their only green choice is a handful of weeds, one of them being mallow weed, which has been recorded as a toxic plant to chickens and I watch them eat the he'll out of it everyday. We'll see in a week or so because I just...

    Mallow weed toxic to chickens?

    Hey, thanks for responding! I am digging up all the mallow as we speak to see if it makes a difference. They've had runny poo for over a month now and they eat the mallow in large quantities. The only other thing it could be is worms but I don't think so. I'd rather not give them dewormer..Maybe...

    Ive been feeding my pullets layer :(

    Heya BYC! I went to a new feed store today to pick up a bag of my usual organic grower feed and the guy at the counter said that Hunt & Behrens stopped making grower feed awhile ago. This was a huge shock to me because I've been feeding chickens H & B "grower" since they were 6 weeks old. I...

    Milky Poo, Help!!

    Day 8 with Corid. I have my doubts it is Cocci, so I'm going to stop the Corid today. Everybody seems healthy and happy but they are still dropping runny, milky poos. This pic was taken from one of my 13 week old Barred Rocks. I think I'm going to treat their water with probiotics and ACV. Can I...

    Milky Poo, Help!!

    No, they have not started laying yet. What causes fungal infections? It's been unusually rainy here. The barn seems to be pretty damp all the time but their coop, where they sleep and eat is water tight. I guess I'll just have to start the waiting game. Thanks so much for the support, really...

    Milky Poo, Help!!

    Okay, will do! I bought some probiotics that Im going to start directly after the Corid. What color are their combs supposed to be at this age? The Austros are 10 wks and the Barred Rocks are 11 wks. Their combs are just now coming in and one of my Rocks has a really dull skin tone color to her...

    Day 5 with Corid: So it seemed on day 3 and 4 the poops were looking better. I believe it was yesterday (day4) I didnt see any runny poops inside the coop or outside in their free range area!! I thought, "Yay!, We've cured them!" but then I thought, "Oh no, they had Cocci and lets start washing...

    Milky Poo, Help!!

    Day 2 with Corid: I let the girls out of their coop at 8:30 this morning. They were all lively and happy and ran out into the yard to start their morning foraging. I went into the coop and snapped these pictures: Sorry to bombard y'all with poo pics this early in the morning but I really want...

    Milky Poo, Help!!

    Thanks @TwoCrows for all the help!! I started the flock on Corid this morning. 1.5 tsp per gallon of water. The girls are still eating and playful but I'm treating them just to be safe and to eliminate possible causes of the worrisome poops! I'll keep y'all updated throughout the week.

    it's okay, no worries. Friendly Feed in Fulton. I don't live in Fulton anyway. It was my first time at that particular store and they were awesome! Super friendly, per their name, and very helpful.

    Milky Poo, Help!!

    @beb444 I don't think so. Only from a veterinarian, which will cost 10x more.

    Milky Poo, Help!!

    Thanks everyone! I got a bag of corid at my local feed store for $19.89. I was thinking about buying all the bags on the shelf because as of December 31 2016, farm stores won't be eligible to sell livestock medication, at least in California. Not sure about where y'all live. Thanks again!

    Milky Poo, Help!!

    Update: my boyfriend got up earlier than me this morning to let them out so I didn't get a good look at who is pooing what. I let him know the situation. However, there was some runny poo on the poo trays. It looks like it could be 2 of the girls with this problem. There was 3 milky poos out on...
