Thank you both for answering! I would like to test and just get this over with, but I don’t have a ton of money to spare just to have someone tell me “Yeah… they’re all gonna die soon enough. Cull them.” and unless I’m mistaken these tests do cost $200 or so. So, thank you very much! Fowl pox...
@Wyorp Rock, when I posted this I believed my Ameraucana had coccidiosis. Since then she died, her brother died of very likely the same thing, and now my tiny Serama died from what looks to be the same thing. When I posted this it seemed like you thought she (the first Ameraucana) had something...
Thank you! I’m definitely going to switch over when the chicks hatch. Also, the broody hen you have in your pfp is quite pretty; is she a partridge silkie?
Thank you! I definitely intend to switch to medicated chick feed as soon as the chicks hatch. I’m very relieved to know that this bout of coccidiosis * probably * won’t affect the chicks negatively. I have been getting feed from a local store as well, since TSC got so expensive! Though, I am...
Also, I have just started letting a hen hatch out some eggs, will this be a problem? The eggs are on day 10, so I will likely have everyone fully treated by the time they hatch. But will the chicks contract coccidiosis from just being around everything the sick chickens were around, or will they...
@Wyorp Rock, is Tucker Milling a bad brand? I was just thinking about it, and I’ve never had a chickens get sick within months of each other… What brand do you use? I want to get something healthy for a mixed flock of chicks, pullets, cockerels, hens, and roosters. I’ve been considering...
I feed all my chickens Tucker Milling layer crumbles. The 4 month old (her name is Nutmeg) was sick in July, now she has fully recovered after treatment with Corid for approximately a week during July. She has started laying eggs since then. We got her from TSC which doesn’t vaccinate their...
Her poop is very watery with a yellow-ish white “center”. She has her head and tail down, she’s very lethargic, she weighs a good bit less than her sister who is at the same age, and these symptoms are exactly like my (formerly) 4 month old hen who had coccidiosis in July; who recovered in about...
Actually, I am treating everyone. The noticeably sicker pullet is getting a full (severe) dose, while the rest of the flock is getting the preventative dose. I separated the one lethargic hen from the rest of the the flock for safety, and I just separated the D’Uccle in case she and the...
Today, while I was visiting my pullet who (I believe) has Coccidiosis, I discovered my bantam hen has a small scab(?) next to her eye. My Coccidiosis pullet also has a similar, smaller scab next to her eye. Is this fowl pox or something else? Also, could this be infectious? I have both of the...
