    Should I treat my hen for c. perfringens/necrotic enteritis?

    My 1.5 y/o BO is just coming out of a major molt and a de-worming. For a while I had noticed her poops were watery and oftentimes contained undigested grass, or in one case a whole sunflower seed. Since the de-worming (gave second round of Valbazen 3 days ago) she her issues persist. Here's some...

    where does Coccidia Eimeria come from?

    I’ve read that it is host specific. I’m not 100% sure what that means. I’ve also read this: While poultry, game birds, pigeons, and doves are most commonly affected, coccidia eggs have been found occasionally in parrots, canaries, finches, lories, and budgerigars. Does this mean that my flock...

    Coccidiosis in Adult Hen? Help!

    All 7 of my chickens are 15 months old and appear healthy (visually)--eating, drinking, moving around, etc. However I noticed a small amount of gelatinous blood in two small wet poops (kinda discharge-y looking) presumably from one of my birds. Looked more like blood than intestinal lining...

    We finally found a few chicks to keep my lone Brahma chick company (the guy the batch was hatched for didn’t want it because it ended up being splash); 4 2-3 week old buff Orpington chicks that are just a little younger than my Brahma, 3 of which look to be hens :fl. We brought them home, they...

    Am I overmedicating my chicks?

    I had an outbreak of coccidia a couple of weeks ago. I never had to deal with this before and ended up losing 12 of my 14 8wk old chicks. 😢 I have six 3-4 wk old polish chicks (1 is a lot smaller than the rest) in a brooder with a wire bottom and same thing with my twelve 2 wk old serama chicks...

    Coccidia - Has anyone treated with sulfasol for this?

    I recently posted a couple of days ago that I have been treating my 6-8 week old chicks for coccidia. I've been treating them with corid but recently ran across sulfasol. My babies still are not doing well and I am now down to 3 so I am wanting to try something else other than corid to see if...

    HELP! Coccidia has taken over my poor chicks

    Hello, I am new to the group. I purchased chicks from who I thought was a trustworthy breeder. I discovered they had coccidia at a young age and thought it had been treated. Everyone was spunky again and eating/drinking fine. They are now two months old and they are not infested I believe. I did...

    Dead Chicks, coccidia or not?

    don't know what happened! I'm not sure if it was due to pasty butt issues, got too cold and got trampled, or we have coccidia again?! Went out to check on babies to see how they were doing with new brooder heater, lifted it and two of my chicks were dead! If I treat for coccidia and it's not it...

    Is this Coccidia?

    I have dealt with Coccidia before, but I'm not that familiar with it. I made the mistake of introducing a roo who i thought was clear of it in wit my main egg layers. I took him out immediately the next day after observing his droppings. Now I noticed this. Not sure if this is early coccidia...

We got several chicks from various breeders around the same time and did not keep them separate, which I now realize was a mistake. About 2 weeks later a few (3 of 10) started...
