    Sick flock, chickens dying

    So, I got in contact with the local Ag Extension office finally. I gave them all the data and they are looking into it. I've continued to refine my search using the symptom checker.

    My chickens keep on dying :( One after another

    I have a small flock experiencing the same issues. I have been treating for coccidosis with corid for a week or so with little improvement. From a 50 bird flock I have lost 8 and gotten about 2% egg yield over the last 2 weeks. I can recover from the eggs, but I can't keep losing birds. Any...
