My sweet ISA hen continued to deteriorate and was just laying flat, legs and neck limp by midday Tuesday. I terminated her and am bringing her body for necropsy this morning. Thank you Wyrop Rock for the link. There is a vet at Texas A&M who does this 50 minutes from my farm. I will update you...

thank you I will keep treats low. I understand good nutrition is a healthy defense for them. I have kept the fluids going. And try not to think about what feels like the inevitable for my girl. I put her in a crate in garage out of windy day. She has liquid stool, clear with green no smell. I...

And yes I was told they were vaccinated for Mareks and treated for coccidiosis prior to me getting them at 4 1/2 months. But I have already lost 1 from the original group. I think to coccidiosis. At the time, I treated the flock.

Here is a picture of my ISA with dropped wing. And a picture I took of the worms that fell off of my Orpington onto the ground. I have never seen such fat short worms pictured as chicken problems. If I can I will upload a short video clip of the worms. In my small flock I have two Cochin about 1...
