Big BUMMER. I found my 1 year old rhode island red dead as a door nail under the roost this morning. I have a mixed flock. She was the only RIR I had. Totally bummed. Beautiful brick back and mahogany true to form hen. Sucks

I'm sure my California White is laying cream colored eggs too. I bought two of the Cali Whites from TSC and traded one to a friend. He's having the same issue. Seems like a common occurrence from what I read. She's a sweet gal so I think I'll keep her.

My Cali White lays creme colored eggs only. Kinda disappointing IMO. I wanted a white egg layer. Should've bought a White Leghorn I guess. There's a wildcard in every brood.

I'm not a vet, but I view it like this. If your vet can't do a fecal float to rule out cocci and your chicken has the symptoms, then like you said, "What can it hurt"? I found the dosing instructions on this site. It's a really helpful site.

No bloody stools?

Isolate him so he dosn't get bullied or risk spreading whatever contagion he has.

I do wish you the best sir.

After the six week process of trying everything suggested. I did what I was taught by my Dad whom raised poultry. Hopefully someone on this very informative forum will have an alternative.

Sounds like my Barred Rock Pullet. I took every reasonable course of action with no improvement...antibiotics, Corid, dewormed, forced fluids and solids. I found her laying on her side under the hanging feeder, just barely alive. She was the only sick one of the bunch.

Prior symptoms if I may ask? And are other flock members sick? What have you ruled out as a cause?

Yeah....Number two looks kinda "cocky".

Have you had a fecal float done for coccidiosus?
