My lovie was walking funny and when examined her underbelly was flaming red, runny poop, and missing belly feathers. Twinkie had white runny poop on her feathers and was missing belly feathers too. Several of the other girls had poop sticking to their feathers. This was the basis for her...
I was told almost two weeks ago my girls had gleet and I would have to kill them if I couldn’t get rid of it in two weeks. Time is up on Monday. My girls are 8-12 months and had leaky bottoms with bright red underbellys on a couple so I added acv/w mother to their water. They get 2 probiotic...
My 7 mo rooster has started attacking 1 of my hens. I have 9 RIR girls, 4 BR GIRLS, and 1 BLRW boy. 5 girls are 10 mo, and the rest are 7 mo. This last week he has started running her off then tonight she wouldn’t go in. I opened the hen door to put her away and he came running then took a...
We don’t have a vet. I live in remote alaska. They don’t act like they have coccidiosis. Just noticed the tissue tonight so will watch close. My corid measurements were by memory so they could be wrong. I have a 1.5 gal watered and I mixed the corid per instructions.
They get egg layer in a self feeder, cracked corn morning and evening with scrap food in between; however, corn and scraps account for 20%or less of daily feed.
Species: RIR, Black giants, barred rock, and BLRW; 20 birds total.
Age: 8 1/2months and 4 1/2 months
History: They have experienced coccidiosis in the past. ACV is added to water daily. 2 of the babies just started laying.
Issue: not sure which bird had bloody tissue in stool. Picture...
If it’s coccidiosis you need some corid and get the acv or garlic going after treatment. There are like 9 strains of the protozoan and it can kill chickens in days. My first one hunched up, pulled her neck in, barely ate or drank, and isolated herself. After much research, call to vet, and...
We had a rooster we called the ugly duckling because part of his feathers were very late (3-4 months) growing in. He did eventually fill out. Your chick looks good to me but I’m not a dr.
Thank you! I feel stupid as he isn’t acting like a rooster. He hasn’t tried mating the hens, he doesn’t crow, and he’s not protective like my others were. He isn’t a dominant bird in the coop. He’s the only male.
My free rare exotic hen came back a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. She is 4 months 2 weeks 4 days old and it dawned on me today that she might be a he. Any ideas???
I am 6.5!months new to raising chickens. It has been quite the experience! We currently have 5 RIR(6.5 months), 6 black giants(2.5 months), 4 RIR(2.5 months), 4 BR(2.5 months), and 1 very sassy BLRW(2.5 months). I have lost 3 babies to coccidiosis, I have had to cull 3 roosters, I have a hen...
