    Could this be coccidiosis?

    I had my son pick a breed to breed for 4H and he picked them on a whim. They are so stinking sweet- even (sometimes, ESPECIALLY) the boys. We have porcelain and Mille Fleur. I think this boy is likely split to porcelain. He has the type I’m looking for so I hope he pulls through!

    Could this be coccidiosis?

    Yes he is! He’s my favorite of this batch. Here he is with one of his sisters.

    Could this be coccidiosis?

    He’s a lot perkier today. If I hadn’t noticed him being off yesterday I probably wouldn’t have known anything was wrong.

    Could this be coccidiosis?

    He’s acting a lot perkier today. His crop felt pretty normal yesterday. It was the consistency of my healthy birds, and this morning he is eating with them right now. I watched him have both regular and cecal poops- both were the same color and consistency of my healthy adults. I gave him the...

    Could this be coccidiosis?

    He was just 10 grams heavier than that example you posted, so I gave him .1 ML. Hopefully that gives him a boost.

    Like putting it on the food?

    Could this be coccidiosis?

    I am coming up on year 4 of chicken raising, and thankfully have never had to deal with coccidia. But right now I have a chick (just over two months) who all of the sudden is acting very off. He is puffed up and slow, broadcasting all the signs of “I don’t feel good”. Unfortunately I am not...

    Fly strike- when to return?

    I haven’t noticed the smell at all, not even on my gloves after I applied the ointment. I was really anticipating having to soak her several more times, but the day after I cleaned her out, all of the oozing was gone. Full disclosure though, that first night was nightmare. I have never been...

    Fly strike- when to return?

    I’ve been checking her several times a day for any more maggot activity, and I haven’t seen any. Yes, it is. I will link it below, I’ve really been impressed with it. My sister is a PA and I was looking for something that would be effective on necrotic tissue. Apparently this is veterinarian...

    Fly strike- when to return?

    The gel is actually clear. The black is necrotic tissue. It’s very rough feeling when it’s not covered in the ointment, almost like a scab. I actually let her out briefly today so I could clean out her crate and she sprinted over to her flock mates to conduct business as usual. But once I...

    Fly strike- when to return?

    Hello everybody, Tuesday evening I was outside doing chicken chores and saw that my buckeye had a particularly dirty looking bottom. I picked her up to discover that she had an abundance of maggots near her vent and the smell was atrocious. I soaked her in warm water and epsom, removed every...

    Respiratory related death- but no others with symptoms

    We don’t have the funds to send her out, so I did a crude at home necropsy. The green stuff is definitely fluid, kind of soupy. I didn’t see any evidence of it in her lungs, but it was in the back of her mouth and throat. I could not express any from the lower portion of the trachea. I don’t...

    Respiratory related death- but no others with symptoms

    Hello! I had a hen who started exhibiting some gasping earlier this week. She has passed but I’m stumped as to what happened: Three days ago, I noticed one of my broody Brahmas was having some issues breathing. She was gasping/craning her neck, with a very occasional (violent) sneeze. I took...

    4 week old d’Uccles sexes

    I have 3 Mille Fleur that I hatched from my own birds, and three porcelain from somebody else’s lines. I’m afraid if I wound up with four boys and two girls at best it’s maybe three and three. What do you guys think?

    Fighting in the broody coop. Help!

    I have 3 mama hens to chicks aged 1.5-2.5 weeks old. I thought everything had been going great- each mom had one baby, except one had 2- but I noticed if I ever need to handle a chick (it’s caught, it has a wound, etc.) it winds all the moms up and they start lashing out at any and everybody. I...

    Silkie Head Twitch

    Honestly, I think it was probably some sort of head injury. I think what probably happened is that the swelling went down overtime, but that it didn’t fully heal. I know they are prone to those sorts of things with the way their skulls are shaped.

    Silkie Head Twitch

    I ended up treating her with the vitamins for about 2 weeks- it didn’t seem to get worse or better. However I ended up rehoming her around that time as well. I believe she continued the nutridrench but I’m not sure for how long. She sent me an update a few weeks ago of her ranging with some...

    Silkie Head Twitch

    Not completely although she seems to be living a relatively normal life in her little flock.

    Thanks! Ideally, everybody would’ve hatched at the same time, but my rooster has not been reliable for me, fertility wise.
