pips&peeps : I would almost bet you have mareks. It will kill the immune system and cocci and ecoli will run rampant. You need to call the lab and have them get on your histopathology samples so you can get an answer. Three of the chickens that died were 2-3 yrs old. My sick hen is 2 yrs...

Quote: As a matter of fact, my mother's vet prescribed the ponazuril, and it had to be compounded. I did tell my vet about it. Thanks for the info.

There is only one other thing I can think of-back in August my rooster got avian pox, the dry form. So did one of my babies. The baby had one pock, and I took several to the vet that day, to get them vaccinated. The vet used the same "prong" on all of them, and one of the hens in that batch...

Quote: I agree, I feel like something else is going on, but so far nothing else has been found. One of the hens that died showed no symptoms, just dropped dead. The rooster had symptoms 3 days before I took him to the vet. Another hen was sick off and on for 3 months before she got very bad...

Quote: I have two coops. Both have wooden hen houses that are raised off of the ground, with runs that are 8 ft long, 3 ft wide, and 3 ft tall on the ground. The runs have dirt in them, a combo of dirt that was on the ground mixed with playground sand and topsoil. The coops are only a few...

I have spent hundreds of dollars at the vet. My silkie chickens are dying one by one of coccidia. I had gone several weeks without a death, then had a sudden death today. He died at the vet in my lap. I have used corid, sulfamet, sulfatrim and still he died. I did not use the two sulfa...
