    Necrotic Enteritis

    Thanks for the information, my 15hens are in a wooded area 50ftx50ft pen. The coop was new and I installed a rubber mat inside for easy cleaning. I clean it out every day. There is no compost heap in the pen. With the wet year we've had the soil has been a perfect environment for the bacteria...

    Necrotic Enteritis

    Thanks for the information on the Amoxicillin - thats interesting.. how do fish then get what they need if its just in the water? I have been administering it incorrectly clearly and at the incorrect dosage. If its just to treat one bird and shes separated from the rest of the flock I could just...

There are a few (<20) small (1mm diameter or less) white nodules (serosal parasite nodules) in the wall of the...

    Necrotic Enteritis

    Thanks for the information. I'm learning quickly how horrible and fast NE is. I had the State lab do the necropsy and I'm now waiting on the fecal test. The most recent death was to one of my healthiest brightest hens up until a week before her death. Her only symptom I noticed at this point was...

    Necrotic Enteritis

    Hi - I've had 2 hens die. I had a necropsy done and found out it was Necrotic Enteritis which I had suspected. I had an outbreak of Coccidiosis when my flock was 2mo and they are now 6mo. I treated with Corid and got rid of the Coccidiosis but this has now led to NE. I have been treating with...

    Sick hen

    I'm live in Maryland. I'm going to call the state lab tomorrow and get some information. I ordered some Sulfa forte as recommended on the revival animal site. The soluble tablets. I assume you have used it before. What is the dosage for hens? Until then I'll treat her with the Duramycin and...

    Sick hen

    Thanks for the replies. I've been calling around and have not been able to find a vet yet that will do a fecal test but will keep trying. I wormed my flock with Wazine. So I just ordered some safeguard. How much of it should I add to a gallon of water and do I do a 5 day treatment of it? How do...

    Sick hen!

    Thanks for the reply. I thought it was strange that the first day she was only closing one eye. Which led me to think there was something wrong with the eye until she started closing both. She keeps them closed most of the time unless she hears something then she'll open both and then close them...

    Sick hen!

    I got 15 new hens. They were 3weeks old when I got them. They are now 8 weeks old. I had an outbreak of coccidiosis. I put them on Corid and they all began to get better. I have them on a low dose as some droppings still have blood. However I noticed one hen closing one eye and keeping it closed...
