    Help please, possible coccidiosis

    Thank you for your suggestions. It is sand by her feet. We've had a lot of rain. Water was puddling in spots in the run so I put some sand in to try prevent puddles.

    Help please, possible coccidiosis

    I got three Sexlink hens in September from a local farmer. He was selling his 2 year old hens to make room for new chicks. Of the three one was molting and laid rubber eggs. In October she got sick and died within 24 hours. She would not eat, she was hunched over with ruffled feathers and had...

    Help please, possible coccidiosis

    I thought I had taken a picture of some poo earlier, but I can't find it. I only saw it once or twice. The other droppings on the pen look healthy. I'm suspicious because I've found her in the nest box several mornings. She is not a layer. I close them up at night. This morning she didn't come...

    Thank you. I don't want to lose another hen. Just wanted to make sure it would be okay to treat them all.

    Help please, possible coccidiosis

    I got back into chicken keeping in September. I have a small flock, only four hens, but I've lost three. One was egg bound. I suspect the other two had coccidious. The first one was early on and died within 24 hours. The last one died in January. By the time I figured out the problem and got...

    Need help identifying breed

    Thanks for your input. This is helpful. They are cute little hens. At least two of them are laying. They are a bit skittish. We're working on building a bigger run. We currently have a 12 x 4 run that extends from the coop. It is only three feet high. Once we have something taller I will be...

    These hens were hatched in May. I was told that they are part Japanese Silkie. Any suggestion as to what the other part could be?

    Possible Gape Worm

    Thank you. This is very helpful. Don't think I'll have to worry about burning the chicken. Not a lot of sun in our weather forecast.

    Possible Gape Worm

    I haven't noticed any breathing problems or congestion. What would be the connection with mites/lice? I am not familiar with oral medication. My Sexlink is somewhat tame. The new ones are still very skittish.

    Possible Gape Worm

    I acquired three, two year old Sexlink hens in September. Two of them died. One from unknown reasons. The other was egg bound. The third and lone survivor yawns quite often and shakes her head. I suspect that she has gape worm. She has never laid an egg for me, but does sit on the nest. Can gape...

    And then there was only one.

    I actually bought a mirror for her recently. I just haven't added it to the coop yet. Thanks for reminding me.

    And then there was only one.

    Thank you for your suggestion and input. I have become attached to her. I'm hoping to find a few more chickens to add to the flock, but that may be difficult this time of year and who knows if they would get along. I used to let her out to free range in the yard when I was home and she would...
