Hi-
I’m having the same problem with my almost 3 year old RIR. Hard abdomen (feels like a ball is in her belly), pale comb, lethargic, watery feces, barely eating or drinking, etc. I, too, started her on Corid. She’s on her second round of Corid now. I’ve segregated her from the flock because...
Poopy butts could also be sign of lice. Check for clumps of nits at the feather base near and below her vent. That's how I discovered my chickens had lice. Ugh.
Definitely both symptoms. Poor girl! Soak chickens legs in dog flea & tick shampoo for 10-20 minutes. This will soften the scales. Use an old toothbrush to clean away the dead scales and get to the critters in between the scales. Dry completely & cover her legs in Vaseline. Continue this process...
I had a similar issue with chickens pecking one another until they bled. It got pretty bad. I bought "Pinless Peepers." It's a 2 man job to put the peepers on a chicken, but after about 2 weeks of wearing them, the chickens stopped pecking.
Hello from Guilderland, NY! I was hoping for advice on my Black Australorp's infected comb. She was pecked by the flock, poor girl. Should I use Vetericyn?
