    Hen not thriving after coccidiosis

    Thank you for your reply. I tried her with mince and veg yesterday and eggs but she refused it all. I have made bone broth for her to try drinking so when that cools down we will try that. She has also refused natural yoghurt, watermelon,grapes, melon, cabbage and pears. She wouldn't normally...

    Hen not thriving after coccidiosis

    Thank you all for your advice. We are back from the vet and she wants me to try Entrobactin. She doesn’t think it’s coccidiosis causing the problems now as her poop is normal. It might have been helpful if the other owner had a post mortem done on one of the other 10 chickens that died but they...

    Hen not thriving after coccidiosis

    Yes, she spends a lot of time with them and only comes in if she doesn’t like the weather, she sees me in the kitchen ( when she usually brings the ducks in too ) or if the ducks have gone visiting the chickens next door. She was bullied horribly and hates other chickens but loves her duckies...

She was one of 11 in the same pen who were all dead or dying when she was brought to me to take care of. Her poop was runny, foamy...

    Hen not thriving after coccidiosis

    Thank you Shadrach, Beryl and I are off to the vets later today. Waiting anxiously to see if a poop pops out in time. The vets did say it takes a while for the gut to repair itself but we seem to be taking one step forward and two back with the runny poop and non eating periodically. Oh well...

    Hen not thriving after coccidiosis

    I adopted a bullied, blind, sick hen about six weeks ago. She is approx 2 years of age and a bantam Ancona. When she came to me she weighed 850g and was very underweight. She was sick with coccidiosis and we didn’t think she would live. We fed her baby food and water by syringe and she had a...
