I have always been afraid of roosters, and since our "hen" started to crow, I have been looking for a way to live peaceful with him. He had just start challenging me so I was looking for some idea or something try. This is worth the read and will give it a try.
Wonderful ideas to use, we bought all our chickens at the same time. However, we had to pull an ill one and are now ready to reintroduce to the flock. Nice to read what other have already tired.
None of my birds have been vaccinated. I am located in Michigan, Ann Arbor would be the biggest city rather close to me. I will try to go in do my profile. I was on the group years ago until our last hen died. This summer we decided that we missed the gals and got a few. Thanks for the reply.

UPDATE: She seems to more alert or keeping her eyes open longer. Still no interest in food. I have water down yogurt and scramble eggs that she kind of drinks. I changed out her water to the Corid mix and did the drench when I got home last night. I believe pooped three times yesterday while...
Sorry, I have another question. If I treat this chicken with the Corid, should I do it for the rest of the flock in their water outside? And If so how long should I treat their water.
Thank you so much. I will do the Drench as soon as I get home. She has water in the cage but I don't think she is drinking on her own. She did poop yesterday and again through out the night. Not a lot, but then again she isn't eating or drinking a lot. She does seem more alert, at least she...
I got the powder. Thanks so much. I will remove the electrolytes, should I still continue the probiotics. I was adding a package of that and electrolytes to a gallon of water.
