Hen has made a full recovery! Active, energetic, eating and drinking on her own. I never treated with tylan because our feed store doesn't carry it. The day after I sprayed for lice there was a HUGE improvement. I believe the lice infestation was the root of the problem, and anemia weakened...

Ok. I've read a bit more and the new plan is: - continue with corid. - treat with tylan for respiratory issues. - worm - continue treating/monitoring lice. I think that the lice caused anemia, which gave the cocci a foot in the door, and the respiratory hopped along for the ride. I'll...

Thanks. I'm going to the feed store tomorrow to hopefully pick up some tylan. I've got her back in the hospital with one of her sisters who is occasionally coughing and sneezing. I sprayed their vents with pyrethrin because they were just absolutely infested with lice. I'm hoping to get everyone...

Still making snoring sounds this morning, not interested in eating but very alert. I forgot to turn the heat lamp back on and it was in the 40s last night, so I was pretty worried this morning. I've heard her cough twice. She's more active and is acting interested in food and water on her own...

I just finished feeding her some oatmeal sludge. Between the syringe, a baby spoon, and various parts of my hand, she ate about two tablespoons, or less. It was hard to gauge. After a few minutes she ate on her own from little dabs on the back of my hand. Her beak and feet feel hot, but I'm...

Ok, I finally got my hands in a syringe and gave her a tablespoon of the corrid water. I'll give her more in a bit. Her breathing sounds snotty again... like rattling in her nose. It actually sounds exactly like snoring, but happens both awake and asleep. I have a video of it, if that would...

*UPDATE* She doesn't sound snotty this morning. She was more lively when I tried to feed her, but in the crate she's drooping her head, eyes closed, and back in the cocci posture. I need to get a syringe to get some medicated water in her, I think. I could only find a turkey baster last night...

Thanks. Not wheezing, coughing, or sneezing. It sounds bubbly, like when a baby needs a bulb syringe. Bubbly or gurgley in the nose/throat area. Almost like allergies?

I went out after supper to coax the hen into eating a bit more. She sounded snotty, like when my kids have colds. Not constantly, but more than a little. There was nothing on her beak, and I didn't look down her throat. Recap of hen: - listless - not eating or drinking on her own - will accept...

I noticed the rooster standing in the rain, so I caught him and put him with the hen on the porch. They're both under a heat lamp. I noticed these spots on his comb. Avian pox or is this from lice? Sorry for all the posts and questions, I just feel like I'm battling everything at once.

Thanks for the response! Yes, the coccidiosis was my first thought, but the hen was declining so rapidly I wasn't sure. I've sent the husband to TSC for valbazen, will he find it there? I looked over the poo chart again and the hen's matches the ones for worms. I've seen the roo drinking...

Adding a poop picture. Not sure what it means? It's very milky and yellowish. I made her a warm slurry of corrid water, boiled feed, and her regular crumbles. She ate about a palm-sized dollop, then hopped off my lap to poop. There is no poo in the dog kennel. She wouldn't eat after that...

Last week I picked up three new hens and a rooster. After two days they were added to the flock (ill-advised, I know. Let's skip that part). Just a few days later we added two more pullets who were getting pummeled in quarantine. Then yesterday, I left the gate gapped and was missing a hen...
