I had my old flock of hens gang up on a large black snake. Pecked it until the poor thing gave up and then they bit its head clean off. They actually used to chase moles and voles through our yard and peck them,but not eat them. My current flock is way too lazy and young to do stuff like that...

I don't know if you have a Southern States near you,but I found it in the cattle section. It's cheaper and probably better to buy the liquid,you get more out of it than the powder.

I recently had one of my chicks pass away from coccidiosis. Her symptoms were like your chicks, and I would give her electrolytes or Gatorade. If she doesn't drink it on her own, I would drip a little onto her beak with your finger. See should drink it from that. If/When you get Corrid,you will...

Thank you so much for helping! I'm glad Whitey I okay, I'm a very protective chicken momma... Lol I never even knew that they had an oil gland. That's so cool! Thank you again, I've raised chickens for years, and I've never had health problems up until now. I guess ever since I had one of my...

So the first photo is of her butt after the bath. The second is of a weird spot I found on her. She was pecking her feathers after the bath, so it may have been where she pulled a feather out. And the third is of her egg. The white isn't as smooth as the brown.

I'm located about halfway down the east coast . It is very hot here, and I change the water once a day. I'm looking into getting a larger water holder , since I am currently using 2 oil pan like dishes. I do have a nipple waterer set up, but the chickens don't know how to use it.

Upon further looking I realize that I got the ages of the chicks wrong. 3mos—2.5mos is correct. Sorry, and here's the photo of the weird dangling fluid

So I separated Whitey (that's her name,I'm very creative lol) so I could monitor her. I went and checked on her this morning, and she immediately ran up to the gate to be let out. I let her out and noticed that where she was sleeping had that liquid hanging down. (I'll insert pictures in...

The only thing deterring me from thinking that the fluid is a soft shelled egg (or no shell) is that she layed a perfectly fine egg minutes before I checked and noticed any fluid. She lays the weirdest color eggs, half white and half brown( I guess because she is a mixed breed), and of I hadn't...

I didn't really smell any odor from the puddle of the fluid that was on the table, but then again I wasn't putting my face directly up to it. I'll read up on vent gleet, tysm for helping, I'll update on the situation in the morning after I give her a bath.

So after doing some further research, I think that I may have seen the egg coming out of her uterus, and then after she laid said egg, I got confused with her uterus and the egg. Tomorrow i'm going to give her a bath, and wash the poop off of her butt for a better look. I may just be...

Very sorry for no pictures, I guess they didn't post. In still relatively new to BYC and am not used to using it in the browser.

I have a mixed breed hen,a Golden Comet x Neighbors White rooster (probably a White Leghorn?) and she is very sickly. I went to give the flock some veg, and she didn't come out to range, so I went and checked the coop to find her sitting on the roost with her wings sort of fluffed out ( not like...

You're very welcome! I'm glad it is not coccidiosis, because it is very painful. Best of wishes to your hen. Please keep me updated !

Dosage is 1 1/2 tsp of powder Corid, or 2 tsp of the liquid per gallon of water (the only source of water) for 7 days. Treat all of the chickens at the same time. Afterward, give them a small amount of plain unsweetened yogurt for probiotics.( this is advice that another user gave me last night...

She may have coccidiosis. The poop and the sleeping are signs of it. You should get some Corid from your feed supply store and put it in all of your chicken's watererers. My chick passed away from coccidiosis last night. So as soon as you can, give her some Corid. Also, Gatorade helps give her...

Thank you for your help. Apparently she passed while I was sleeping. She will be missed.
