    Hen sneezing frequently with vocal changes

    I'm sorry about your hen Chris. A) The "sneezing", head shaking and vocal changes without other obvious symptoms (at least initially) sounds like it could be respiratory Aspergillosis (fungal infection). Usually as it progresses there are other tell-tale signs, like comb darkening (from lack of...

    SHOCKING amount of bloody diarrhea - Cocci or internal bleeding or...?

    Bad Chicken passed about 2 hours after my last update 💔💔💔. She went quickly, and I'm grateful we had brought her indoors beforehand. @WyropRock, I had wondered about Enteritis, but as it seems to be less common in older birds I had ruled it out. After doing more research, I do consider it a...

    SHOCKING amount of bloody diarrhea - Cocci or internal bleeding or...?

    UPDATE (Warning: graphic poo pics) We got the fecal test results, this is what the vet texted us: "No parasites seen (including giardia)- so the protozoal organisms I saw were not seen in a cyst form (which is what is seen on this type of test). I saw active swimming flagellates which could be...

    Can I cut antibiotics course short?

    I'm so sorry you're dealing with water belly with a beloved hen. We've experienced this multiple times and it is so frustrating and sad. I'm assuming she's being given the Synulox as a preventative against infection since draining a bird requires inserting a needle, and possible bacteria...

    SHOCKING amount of bloody diarrhea - Cocci or internal bleeding or...?

    Thanks - Not an exterior wound (no toenail, pin feather, fly strike etc). She was hemorrhaging blood from her cloaca. Imagine multiple 4" diameter puddles all over the coop floor of mostly blood with diarrhea mixed in. Just got back from the vet. The diagnosis was mostly 🤷🏼‍♀️. But I'll post...

    SHOCKING amount of bloody diarrhea - Cocci or internal bleeding or...?

    Thanks Wyrop Rock. Everybody was dewormed 2 months ago. I wonder about cancer as well, but the amount of blood really seemed like an active wound.

    SHOCKING amount of bloody diarrhea - Cocci or internal bleeding or...?

    Good morning Everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster. Opened the coop this morning to find our 8 year old Welsummer / Cochin cross off the roost surrounded by extremely bloody diarrhea. Because of the amount of blood I was concerned it was a wound and rushed her indoors to begin...

    Finally saying hello

    Hi BYC Folks! I've been frequenting, and thankful, for this site, its community and advice for years, but am just now getting around to an intro. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? - I grew up in far northern California in the 70s-90s and we had an ongoing flock of...
