    E. Coli Infection in Trachea and Capallaria Parasites - Please advise

    Hello all - A little over a month ago I made the very regretful mistake of introducing 7 new pullets (age 12 weeks) to my original flock of 10 (age 2 years) without giving them a proper "quarantine period." Horrific, unfortunate, lesson learned. I had them all in the same run, although I had...

    Hi there - I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through this too. I am going through something very similar in my flock… I have lost two girls so far, a necropsy on one tested positive for E. Coli as well. Did the antibiotics you used help? Also do you mind sharing more about the RSA testing you...

    Sudden respiratory distress - please help!

    Thank you so very much for your response and info. I will continue with the Tiagard and was also able to find an avian vet that I will take them to tomorrow morning for testing to find out for sure so I’m not guessing moving forward. Really appreciate you taking the time to respond!!

    Sudden respiratory distress - please help!

Yesterday I noticed 3 of my existing hens acting sick as well. Respiratory...

    Surprising red/orange mucus in poop - please advise!

    Thank you!!! Can I continue to add the ACV still be added to the water with the Corid? Or do you advise only adding the Corid until this (hopefully) clears up.

    Surprising red/orange mucus in poop - please advise!

    Thank you so very much for all of the thorough information!! If none are acting sick, do you think it is safe to just proceed with Corid treatment before doing the antibiotic? Or would you go ahead with an antibiotic as well out of caution?

    Surprising red/orange mucus in poop - please advise!

    Thank you so much for your fast response! Re: location - we live in Beaufort, South Carolina. Is "corid" the coccidiostat you would advise using? I have ordered that and it should be delivered tomorrow. I will also pick up a sulfa antibiotic.

    Hi there! Did you ever get an answer as to what this was? I am having a similar discovery with my flock and am a bit worried. Did you wind up treating in any way? Thanks in advance!

    Surprising red/orange mucus in poop - please advise!

    We are very new to backyard chickens but so far have successfully raised 8 newborn chicks to be an 8 week old happy healthy flock! One turned out to be a rooster, so about a week ago we gave him back to the farm we got them from, and they were kind enough to trade us a hen who they estimated to...
